On the home stretch....

So got this car for £150 roughly 2 years ago with a knackered clutch and as standard as they come


The wheels had some kurbing and water damage so decided to spray them black and whilst doing that did badges and fog blanks black also


The ride height was really bugging me so ordered some jamex coilovers which turned out to be a family job lol



After got ride height how i liked it decided to change wheel colour again for something a bit marmite

[kirk]

went to elsecar mega meet and picked up a bonnet for a £5 so tried something out


bought some pepperpots with new tyres from a forum member

[kirk]

and how she sits now, was annoying me how dirty engine bay was so engine out ready for a good clean replace all bushes, gaskets, water pump and a few other things

I liked those yellow wheels. Looking good for a tug lad. Keep up the work!

Love it, very fresh and a cheap car.

Looked better on the Yellow wheels than the pepperpots.

Car is looking really clean. Like the look of it on the pepper pots... Perhaps they need painting yellow...

[kirk]

Yeah i guess thats an option, thinking of doin engine bay cream so ill have a think about it

[kirk]

ok so over last few days got engine totally out

and ordered every bush,seal, gasket and bolt i could think of to make this engine look like new and also to stop leaks like this....

ive also ordered some hoses from vw to fix things like this.....

but at £45 for just that pipe it aint cheap lol
