New goodie for the interior, had some old black paint on it, sanded it down and now it looks shiney(ish)!






The wiring problem. So yeah, no ignition. I know what's what and have looked over it all, but its beyond my skills and knowledge of car electrics. I think I know what it is (a short), but I don't know how to sort it. Pics!

Engine bay, you can see those two red wires, which are connected and the black ignition live which isn't connected to anything. Just to note, they haven't always just sat like they are now! They were taped to the other wires :D

Suspension. Yes, its REALLY seized! :D Tried and tried and I'm not even sure I could unseize off the car. The ali rings are so soft.










So come pay day, its new coilies (mine are over two years old, so might as well grab some more instead of trying to fix some cheapo coilies). Going to be buying lots of new bits for the engine bay too. New hoses, piping, etc so its routed better and looks much better. Oh and a catch can :)

In the mean time, got some driveshafts from a Mk3 TDi to fit and going to remove the rear disc guards. There's some more things I was going to do but its Sunday morning and I can't remember :D

More updates to follow!

About time we got some more pics :tongue:

Looking good, but instead of sending the wheels to the sprayers you wanna send them to me?  :huh:
