Nice bit of progress. 

Good find with the bolt kit, what are they made of? I've been doing some of mine as when something needs doing, for example all the wing bolts are now stainless, the originals were a bit hit and miss.   Also replace everything for the bodykit with similar. 

Sounds like you've got everything you'll ever need. I always loose the odd nut or bolt when it comes to removing and replacing stuff.

Good finish on the gearbox. Is that just brushed on hammerite? Where abouts did you find the bolt kit? Could do with a kit like that for my Mk3 rebuild.

Cheers guys the bolt kit seems good quality it is apparently zinc coated but who knows..

It is just a random guy afaik because he only does kits every so often they normally around £80 and he only does mk2 golfs afaik don't quote me on this...

It should have most of what I need and all the spares will keep me going as it has loads of odds and sods like disc brake shield bolts etc which will come in handy

Aw thats a shame. I guess i'll have to just clean up my original nuts and bolts. Anyway keep up the good work, loving the effort your puting in. Going to be painting my engine and box shortly so if I can get it looking half as good as yours i'll be happy!!
