Right o starting to look at the wiring a bit so i'm not so embarrassed to lift the bonnet up, its a bit of a mess but will get there, just doing a little bit each night. Heres some of the 'professional' effort the past owners have put in



on a slightly better note, got a set of door speakers for FREE and will be put in tommorow night



and another lovely shot of her


(note the bonnet is changed back due to threats from my gf)

Looks a bit more like the second one. I think it looks sweet  :cool: Matches the OEM lines but looks more aggressive  :cool:

She started fine and drove like a dream, took her up to the vw fest at harwood house near leeds and met mr chuff. My headlights have been f**ked for a while now where the only light i was getting was when full beam was on and only out of one.

Had my sparkie dub nut mate chase it all aboot and he finally sorted it after an hour of searching. I'm still not quite sure what the probem was, think it was some loose connections in the relay region but working  :smiley:
