Just bought a full set of coolant hoses including metal pipe all less than 6months old and in mind condition for the pricely sum of £60 which is a lot cheaper than dealer prices !

Going to collect on Saturday.. mk3 golf subframe, power steering rack, wishbones, hubs, calipers, carriers which are 4x100 and 280mm brakes.. Will take them apart clean it up press new bearings in the hubs and paint it all up.. and then fit and connect up P/S lines..

Also going to order a new 8v rad in next few days only £30 delivered from GSF  :shocked:

Coming together now  :smiley:

Bargain on the hoses, nice  :cool:

What make is the GSF rad? Picked up one recently from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270931095426#ht_1525wt_1165 Genuine Hella and was top quality.
