Wazzzer's 1.8T... Lots of updates

[Wazzzer]

Yeah I know what you mean mate. Just seeing the state of some others pick up pipes always sticks in my mind. Better to be safe than sorry. I started sanding down your old rub strip last night too, didn't realise the sorry state it was in! It's going to take me ages to get it smooth

[Diamond Hell]

I think trying to get anything Dave's been associated with to be smooth is a pretty serious undertaking.

still going strong then wez 

[Wazzzer]

Hello stranger! Dunno about strong mate...

A few pics of what I'm up against with the rubstrip and the progress of rubbing it down





Looks like it's been shot lol

[Rhyso]

Thats great.....answer my PM 

[daz veedub]

  been a while a know just browsing the cars for sale section  got bored of searching ebay etc and remembered where my roots were so am here 

[Dave_IOW]

That other bumpstrip looks mint, what you on about? 

[Rhyso]

Wouldnt it be quicker to buy a US bumper instead 

Always like seeing what you get up to mate; hopefully catch up at a show this year 

[Wazzzer]

Yes it probably would. While the strip is at work on Monday I might use a DA on it

These arrived yesterday so it's a go for the US marker fitting



Also my wheel bearing kit arrived so I can finally build the hubs up



and she's off the road again while I source a new turbo bolt, I don't think I can use this one again





I'm pretty sure this was the source of the noise I was getting while driving. The gasket had evidence of a leak on the hole this bolt came from so I'm assuming it didn't tighten down fully before it jammed... We shall see tomorrow once I put it all back together

You dont half go to some extremes to avoid talking to your wife
