DanChave's MK3 Volf - Sold ;)

As for indicators, how about US spec oem ones in the bumper?

I seen those borbet A splits on ebay, look nice, but I'd be a bit worried about quality, defo! If you have £400 to spend on wheels, you got a lot to choose from. I'd say 8's front and 9's back is the best setup for a mk3, in terms of 'stance' and looks. Keep an eye out for the right wheels, don't necessarily have to be direct fit, can always get spacers made up - I am for my splits

That's what I'm thinking

I complete agree dude, I wonder if Porsche did 9 inch cups................

Right, I have ordered some engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor arm and rocker cover gasket! This week will see a full service, the rocker cover, door handles and rear number plate plinth repainted and the new wings on 

[Seanl]

Good stuff! Get it exactly how people would want to buy it! 

[DanChave]

Thats right man! Then even if no one bites, it still has to be done, so I'm sorted

[LazyLunatic]

Thats it man, keep it serviced. I need to do my oil again soon.

[DanChave]

Fitted the new spark plugs, rotor arm and distributor cap, as well as the air filter today, all went well Started on the rocker cover gasket also, took everything off and cleaned it all up as I went. Everything was looking good until I noticed that the thick gasket between the single point  injection and the inlet manifold had badly split and was pretty much hanging off! Now I have to wait until tomorrow to pick that up!

I have also decided to take out the lugs that the rocker cover nuts, bolt on to and replace them with m6 1.0x20 hex bolts instead

Providing I get the new rocker cover gasket sitting well and not leaking, hopefully tomorrow I can change the oil and replace the oil filter, leaving only the cabin filter and the fuel filter to do and then the service will be done for another 10,000 miles

Picked up the inlet manifold to injection system gasket this morning, repainted the rocker cover and one of the pipes that was all corroded satin black for that OEM fresh look
Refitted everything with my new M6 1.0x20 bolts and crossed my fingers that nothing leaked.................... and it was all good

Before


After


Rocker Cover refurbished


Pipe refurbished


Tomorrow I will change the oil and replace the oil filter and the cabin filter! I will also have a look at possibly re routing some of the loom into the scuttle panel
