He's gunna be doin a bit of work on mine in the future just not got around to it yet.
Getting it running perfecto firsto!

No updates on yours this week?

[xtetx]

Sweet mate!! best thing! will have an update this weekend no doubt haha 

[xtetx]

Well it's been a while since I updated.
To be honest I've been having a nightmare with the car.

Firstly I had a leaking caliper and also a dead master cylinder which = no brakes. Then I had no headlights and to top it off my 1.6 battery has given up the ghost.

Thanks to Baxxy he sorted me some calipers and a master cylinder!

After many hours in rain and darkness over 3 days I've finally got brakes again. Note to self, when fitting a master cylinder just send it to a garage! Such a tight space to work in!

Anyways my genuine anniversary side skirts are being collected tomorrow!

Here is a sneak peak!





Also I have picked up an R32 gear knob thanks to aRd !!
I will get a picture up later!

Bought a newsouth boost gauge pod since my last one was delivered wrong.
Been meaning to do this for a while, all sorted now.

Still on my list is to have the decat light mapped out and sort out my temp sensor as it stopped working when we converted the engine.



On another note my RLine rear bumper and R32 front bumper have gone in to be painted.

I sold my BBS RS reps and bought some BBS CH!
Giving them a bath haha









Going to refurbish them asap and get them on!

Today I went to see the golf father himself Ray aka aRd.
He supplied and fitted me a full FIS set of clocks, and a US spec 4 button key with panic function to set the alarm off at the touch of a button.
Was great to catch up, talk Mk4s, drink coffee and have a laugh!

Ray also had a look at my temperature sensor which stopped working after my engine conversion, this turned out to be a faulty earth and a break in the wire, also the temp sensor was dead haha so Ray fixed this for me.











Not got my wheels on yet that's still in the list, kit comes out of the body shop on Monday so some visual changes coming soon!

Still lots of niggly bits on my list to sort out! Never ending bottomless pit.

Nice work 
Clocks look so nice

[xtetx]

Thanks mate!

Wheels on, 20mm spacers at rear and 7mm spacers at front. Going to go 10mm at the front and change the near side rear to a 15mm (or whatever makes the fitment look right) as the rear beam is off centre and it sticks out too much in comparison to the offside.

Need to replace a front tyre and get them all balanced. A job for next week!











All wheels are going to be refurbed and some new center caps.
