MK3 RESTORATION ***NEW WHEELS***

[TORNADO-GTi]

Gave it a good wax yesterday while it wasn't raining

Well it's passed it's MOT after failing on a leaking brake pipe and seized n/s rear caliper. fitted new pipe and managed to free off caliper enough to pass but had to buy a new one as it stuck again on way back from test. It's also got a nice new shiny windscreen and i wired up the stereo, so all that's left to do is to fit and paint the caliper then get it taxed next month and it is back on the road after about 7 months off

 :smiley:Well it's finally finished I  put the new caliper on and changed the gearbox oil yesterday. Now just waiting until the first of the month to tax it. Then I can get the front bumper on the TT fixed.

Nice one mate well done!! Just for my reference what kind of gearbox oil do you use and do you just fill it until it starts coming out the hole. Lost a bit of mine when removing it!!

[TORNADO-GTi]

Not sure what oil it was as it was what they use in the garage, I did add some Forte gear oil treatment to it and the gears are so smooth now. I just filled it until it reached the top.
