Yeah, sold it in July 2011!

Got a build thread for the Mk2 knocking about anywhere?

I'm really torn about what to do with this, a big part of me wants to get air but for the cost of the setup I want I could get some nice wheels and a big turbo

Another day, another update!

Started the day by doing rear axle bushes, jacked the rear of the car up and this happened:



Pretty much how I want the front to be sat so looks like air will be on the way soon.

How it actually was:



 

We decided that the easiest way of doing it would be with the rear axle off the car:





Old bushes were a b@stard to get out, new ones went in without a hitch!

Whilst the car was in the air and the axle off I had a play around with the position of the exhaust as it was touching the rear beam slightly when hot, pleased to say that has now stopped!

Then did front discs and pads and bled the brakes all round:



Got the car home and gave it a wash:



The reason I use 2 buckets and grit guards:



The result:

Also logged maf readings earlier and hit 175g/s when bouncing off the limiter in 3rd which works out at about 220bhp

Looking awesome pal!
What bushes did you go for.
Will have to hve a run down to dynodaze etc when I have the track car on the road would be good to put a face to the name

Do you need to have the wheels aligned again now?

Just standard bushes from VW

Do you ever get to any meets?

Do you need to have the wheels aligned again now?

Probably

I haven't had alignment done since I first lowered it

Went to the Dub Fiction meet tonight:

I try to get to some of the meets but tend to be working on the project so never really get to them 

Looking good

Went to the Just Dubs show yesterday and a mate got a couple of rolling shots on the way back:





This morning I set about repairing my front valance, it's taken a beating from being low and was peppered in stone chips. It looks like when it was last painted no primer was used

Anyway, got it sanded down:



Note the damage:



Repaired that using some ultra strong 2 part epoxy resin, it's hidden when on the car so not too bothered about it really.

High build primer which was then sanded back:



Finished:



It's very dull at the moment, going to wait for the paint to harden properly then see what I can do with the machine polisher.

Doesn't look too bad on though:
