I'm going to have to say it again too. I really love this car, wouldn't change a single thing. Amazing work.

Those washer jets are cool as too  :cool: - do you mind me asking how much they were from VW?

about £45 or more on trade EACH from vw! I got them on back order. I cannot find the screw hole covers for them though!
The water bottle is an 8L one with two jets. Im making a wiring loom for that this weekend as they work with the lights 'on'.

SoundillusioN - I know the feeling  :lipsrsealed:

Thanks Slick :smiley:

Yes this was hidden :sad: Ive had poly bushes on other mk2's in the past but I think OEM ones are much more firm. No more bouncing around. Well worth the money.

Some pics from VW Players taken by Tesh. Thanks mate! :smiley:









and that is that for now. Time to finish off reading through the rest of the interesting build threads :)

I love your thread heading - NOW FINISHED........

Mk2's are never finished, just when you think you've reached the end, alongs comes something else to think about/do.

Does look great though Blue, JV was saying the paint wasn't the best though, is that right? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :wink: :kiss:
