ooooo, shiny.... looks good. shame you can't see any of it when it's fitted but at least you'll know its tidy.  :cool:

Aha thanks, don't remind me I'm completely wasting my time.  :grin:


Not completely.. I'll be doing the same soon.  Thinking Red wishbones and rear beam!  :lipsrsealed:

Do it.  :cool:

Was gonna  go orange but just want it looking as standard as possible really. Fed up with the popo looking all over my car cause it has red callipers and a pink rocker cover.

WTF?  :rolleyes:

Won some polybushes cheap on eBay.  :cool:

Good old eBay sniping. Front and rear wishbone bushes and ARB bushes.

Yeah, red is the only colour for me for a black car, well this one anyway.. did contemplate red brakes but can't be ar*ed with it.  Going to do them silver!

When I had some spare dough and the car needed essentials, I did enjoy ebay sniping or bargain finding.  :cool:

Red will look sweet with the other red touches.   :cool:

Brakes always look smart in silver. Just done the calliper. My brother reckons orange but I dunno.

In the short term you'll like the orange but long term, i'm not so sure., especially since you thought red was an issue.

Not many red touches on mine at the moment but there will be loads to come over the winter.  :cool:

Some serious issues with the rear of my car.  :grin:

Car is litterally moving all over the place on the motorway and go round a corner and the rear just feels soggy and the wheels will eventually follow the car.

So will be needing some axle bushes and top mounts.

Got one wishbone all bushed up, gotta do the other. Having massive difficulty in fitting the ARB bushes though.  :sad:

Decided to put the electric windows in, goto drivers side finished and the electric mirror on.

Only taken an entire day and a bit.  :rolleyes:

Looms not even in properly yet. So much alarm wiring I'm cutting out, flipping awful how it's all been done on both cars, none of it done nicely.  :angry:

I will be putting an alarm in but it will be all tidyed away and easilly removed from the loom if wanted. Why people screw this all up I don't know.  :sad:

Also, it's taken a bit of time as I've been wanting to do it properly but didn't want to remove the dashboard so took out the clocks etc. to do it and run the loom properly. Most of it's fine, will clip the last bit in when I do remove the dash.

Fixed loads of little bits along the way though things that go un noticed so I'm happy. Been rained off though.  :angry:

Also some wayne kerr pikeys thought they had the right to the drivers door on the GTI as I went into lunch, told them to do one and chased em off with a crowbar so no doubt the car will be torched sometime.  :rolleyes:
