GOOD TURN OUT TONIGHT BOYS

Good, I am glad the some of the parts are getting a new lease of life, it was a crying shame that i allowed her to get in that state, one minute she looked ok then before i knew it, gone.

Was a real shame, i didnt want to break it and i know Ben felt the same but it was really too far gone all round. more we dug into it the more rot we found. I remember saying to ben, that i bet it would have been a gorgeous car when it was new

Was a good turn out Rog 
Neil, devastated I couldn't save her mate but just too far gone, both inner and outer sills were gone and most of the floor pan was showing through 
However, the heart of her lives on in mine, and what a heart it is too 
LOVE that VR noise

WELL...................... Its been an eventful week 
Noticed a small oil leak on the VR when the engine was running, on closer inspection it looked as tho it was coming from behind the P/S pump 
Anyways, last Wednesday took the front end off the car (AGAIN!!!) gave it a good wipe down, started the engine and had a nosey about.
After a minute I see the drip again so follow it up the block to the oil gallery plug just under the coolant pulley.... its seeping oil......BAR STEWARD!!!!!!!!


Went to work on Thursday and had the excellent idea of doing a temp fix on the plug with some liquid metal, in the meantime Kells ordered me a new plug from VW and they said it would be here Monday, jobs a good un 

Set off from work on Thursday night, got about 100 yards and ppsssssshhhhhhhhhh


OIL EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had to get recovered and once home discovered the liguid metal had somehow punctured a hole in the Oil gallery plug


So, VW let me down on Monday, fecking useless!!!
Turned up yesterday so me an Kells had a stab at putting right, managed to get the old plug out with no real issues, putting the new one in..... another story 
After lots of swearing and pissing about managed to get it in the hole (oo-er missus) filled her up with oil and started her up.................... Started seeping oil F*CKING B*STARD C**T TW*T SH*TE PR*CK B*LLOCKS
Tried to tap it in a bit further but because you cant get square on to tap it into position properly, I made matters worse, the plug went pop and I got oil in my eyes, mouth and nose.. EXCELLENT.
Me an Kells searched high and low for the plug but couldn't find it so abandoned it all
Kells went home, I came in the house, emptied my pockets and found the plug 
It was cream crackered tho so ordered 3 from VW today so should be here tomorrow.
Ive made myself a little 'press' that fits between the plug in question and the chasis arm with a thread on it so I can push the plug in square and hopefully solve this little debacle 
VW fest creeping up and me car-less
