Hey caistor, love the car, just wanted to know what intercooler you are using and how did you get it to fit?


Its from a Merc sprinter and although i didnt get it to fit myself its a pretty simple set up, if you go back a few pages there are a few pics of it on the car and off so you can see the pipework

I read them when I get a chance, which isn't often that I can read through a long thread and normally forget by the time I get a chance again and read through the same bit and dont get any further :tongue:

yeah i know what you mean... once i got up to date with the ones that interest me though i try and keep on top of them.. a lot of them share similar style interests too which always helps when you're planning stuff.

Its good to see a dub in lincolnshire. And not a mk3 is a nice bonus for the mk2s. Its a nice motor mate. Much respect

Very minor update but an update non the less, i finnaly replaced the driverside window seal today, possibly the second easiest job on a golf bar the blower.

old and new





so its pretty simple until this point and if you cant figure it out you shouldnt be working on a car at all, the only tip i can give is to wet it before it goes on. Anyhow you will end up with the outermost lip folded in places and looking like this...



so i used a window packer to pull the edge up whilst i push down on top



then in the wing mirror corner I used two, one to pull off the plastic and the other to do as above



BOSH! Job done
