All fitted just needs final fettling and then spot welding in place and painting

Here are a few bits ive bought over the past month much to my other halfs annoyance 

I bought this off a seller on ebay.. 100% genuine.. 100% brand new and mint.. not sure theres many about any more..



Next i bought these little beauties.. i got them at a very good price compared to ebay prices.. they all minty mint from an audi 80 i believe.. all i need is a new frame to mount them in..



As per one of my earlier posts i wanted a VR6 clutch so as if i go bit power in the future i dont need to change the clutch.. so i went online and bought a new sachs 3in1 kit.. just need new flywheel bolts and clutch bolts..



and last but not least im fed up with having to open my bonnet and use a stand to keep it up.. so when i ordered my battery tray repair panel from VWH20 i bought a 'hood lift' kit.. made by FK seem good quality.. they going to be matt or gloss black before fitting..





 Stay tuned more to come over the coming weeks !!
