    Bought some carbon bumpers. They look great but not sure they suit the direction I wanted to go. Colour coded fitment hardware anyone?

    Mr golf had his "air vents" sewn up and resealed

    before setting up the 5 speed linkage and a homemade short shift was wheeled out for it's first proper drive with the new engine and everything up to speed.

    I was expecting something to play up or at least need adjusting but the car is running like a little steamtrain.
    the mk2 1.8 is a hoot, definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of going down that track.
    also got some tyres mounted to the wheels i will be using,

    hopefully go for rego next time I'm home and install the suspension and brakes. although the stock setup is very comfy it's a little high up as it sits..

    ^^^ Radd!
    Have to get together and have a chat once she's registered & I can drive mine long distances! Get a bit of a WA Mk1 crew

    No progress for me really, ripped out some un-needed wiring whilst I worked out how i'd do a basic wire tuck. Also ordered a tonne more parts for the overhaul of the suspension

    Installed a new heavy duty maintenance free battery. Pulled the 15x6.5 alloy rims off put the original steel rims back on. Started making a "to do" list of what needs to be done for a blue slip.

    Very nice Mik.

    I flushed and cleaned the radiator today. OMG the filthy water that came out of that was unbelievable.
    Adjusted the throttle cable so the accelerator is now up off the floor and is nice and responsive.

    Pulled the heater box out from under the dash, front seats out and the front carpets and sound material out so I can inspect the floors.
