[VWchapman17]

you have been a huge help mate!! should get these vdo gauges sorted out soon!!
not got much money left to spend on the car, only got around 50 quid until the 19th of july

polished the car with t-cut today and it has made a huge difference, no more fade

thanks a lot

a half t-cut polished bonnet, the difference is crazy

side views



id say it looks a hell of a lot better now
polish up the bumpers and it will look so much cleaner
then on the list is new wheels as the wheels currently on are 17's!! also those wheels look like sh!te

no worries man. glad to help. yeah the car looks to be in good nick in the pics. don't see many mk2s on an A plate. one of the first ones made. keep up the good work man.

[gazareth]

jeez you wouldn't think it was same car. looks great. stick some 15inch wheels on. 17s are way to big for a mk2 I think.

[VWchapman17]

yeah I thought that too! just looks like a new car, the wheels are far too big also, I am either going to get 15's or 16's, ordered some of the original lights also as I think the smoked tail lights make it look too dark haha
steering wheel is here tomorrow or Wednesday so I will finally be able to move it haha

thanks

I always think pressed German plates look good. You should look into it.

Only small progress today, took off rear bumper splitter(now for sale)
Finished the tcut
Fixed door cards so they aren't loose
Bought some original mk2 lights to replace smokes ones (smoked lights now for sale on here and eBay)
Now backtoblacking arches and bumpers

Not much progrss as no parts have tuned up yet
May buy a stereo tomorrow
Will upload pics of its interior and exterior state

bought a stereo and will be here Wednesday, steering wheels here Wednesday, lights here tomorrow.
ive got a question though, what the f*ck is this?

[gazareth]

umm a mess by the looks of it lol. is it something to do with an alarm?

umm a mess by the looks of it lol. is it something to do with an alarm?

definitely a mess!! it says on the back of the 'block' "can be re microwaved"
it has wires going into it from all sorts of places so.. I think its just a bodge job block someones put in to keep all the wires in.. because at least 70% of the wires from the battery are going into that 'block' so I think the previous owner put it there whilst it was jelly and put the wires in there and then just let it set.. as the amplifier and sub wire is going through it.. and if it was an alarm it wouldn't need to be connected to the sub and amp haha.. i have no idea, i don't want to break the block incase i ruin all the wires inside.. as i don't know whats in it!!
