the car got a good thrashing at brands silverstone today. apart from a snapped doorhandle, broken shift rod, and broken fuel gauge it went great! i missed my slot with the instructor because of the shift rod issue as well which sucked

a couple of laps onboard

im taking the golf off the road for a while now so i can work on the front of the shell. the engine will be coming out soon and all seams welded same as the back. for now i have been stripping the dashboard area and removing the last of the sound deadening and glue. man i hate that glue!



have also been removing unused wires from the loom and generally tidying up bits, like fitting a new interior light instead of the old one ducktaped to the ceiling   :laugh:

Man you've been busy!  What's the plan with the dash? Is it going back in?

Carbon fibre OE shaped dash would be awesome!

I might cut the passanger side off mine (leaving the ducting for screen clearance).
