What are we all doing to our motors this weekend?
« on: 09 November 2012, 19:14 »
Exactly what it says on the tin, what work are we doing or getting done to our mk3's this weekend?
Mines getting washed n valeted, im fixing the broken glovebox handle, replacing a dash blank, finally putting in a cigarette lighter, fitting new brembo rear brake pads, removing the loose back box heat protector  and painting the sills with rust converter.
So what are you guys doing?

I'm going to fill it full of rubble and plaster ready to dump in the skip at work on Monday, think it needs some petrol too.

I want to fit my new camber shims as I got the toe wrong when I put the last ones in, but if I actually do it is a mother story  :grin:
