before and after...

It was already rounded off before I touched it. And it was the 1st time I've touched the brakes on this car. I'm loving using it now, but not loving having the dash out again

good luck. i hate removing the dash

[tsr_adi]

Its half way back on now, got too dark to finish putting back together last night. Dash removal isn't too difficult now I've done it twice on my car and once on the donor, just have to remember it helps in the long run to remove the steering wheel and the stalks 

Today I've got more of getting high in the car to look forward to, soldering in there gets you a bit mashed and I've got 4 more joints to join up on the window wiring. Am I safe to use the power from the fag lighter? Will the 10amp fuse in the fusebox that covers the radio, interior light, and fag lighter be enough if I join the windows to that circuit?

Right then, my interior is all back together now, with working electric windows and CD player. I've looked into why my interior background lights/number plate lights aren't working and it seems I have power at the back of the switch but no power to fuse 20. So I'm gonna investigate that tomorrow.

And why is it every mk2 I've ever had DOESN'T want to let me push a head unit in all the way?? Really bugs me! Also I've decided I'd like to swap my chrome door handles for black ones, Already have 2 off the donor car so will swap with someone, even if they have a 3 door. Also decided to put the P slots up for swaps with RA's, I fancy a change.

UPDATE...

All lights now work, new front brakes and 16v MC are on, and I have new rims

looks tidy... sits well on the RA's

So now my golf has discovered its inner workhorse, I thought some pics were in order...





You may notice I've laid the wiper down too  Oh and fitted a mk3 weighted shift rod, makes a huge difference!

[lemski]

Doesn't make that much of a difference. Av got one. Had it since the valver. I think its just a nicer change.

i dont think the roofrack will catch on

[tsr_adi]

The basket ones did for some strange reason. I quite like the look with it on, but I only really bought it for taking a manky old sofa to the tip without messing up my car. Theres been a few times in the past where I coulda done with one
