Yesterday - figured out how to bolt in my new Recaros (think we can put the back seat in buy ourselves). Decided to retrim the door cards, spent a while in Spotlight picking out fabric, decided on a black/blue tartan. Will be starting the gluing process tonight

New rocker cover gasket and rubber seals going on tonight....

mechanic told me my oil pressure switch was spewing oil, as it was running down the side of the block..

I pressure washed the engine and it is the rocker cover gasket, switch is fine.

Bloody mechanics, I have been in QLD for 2.5 years now and not found one decent one.

Can anyone help me find someone who is at least

• Competent
  
• charges fairly.

JMac is in QLD I think shoot him a PM on here

He gets a good rap all the time, and he's got huge amounts of experience

started the slow process of prepping the car for paint...

[dubai gti]

towed the project to Midas (for new infill piece for extractors to existing system) to be told I need to wrap them to avoid heat issues with the steering rack boot and also fouling with the body.....

then towed it home again...and pulled it apart to rectify....

(did a few other things and picked up a couple of rare bargains at the VWCV Swap....funny thing, some of the 'unusual characters' of 20 years ago in Air-cooled scene are still around......)
