What did you fix/replace on your Mk1 today?

Resprayed my front bumper, fixed front indicators so they don't wobble any more
Swapped my cam pulley back to the original one and sat back and admired my new rims

removed spare radiator, fill up tank, GTi grill and GTi front sway bar out of boot. No more clanking around now

...
Also adjusted mixture and timing, seems better now.

I basically did the same thing recently. What wheel paint did you use?
I found 3M Wheel Silver at supercheap for like $10 a can! Came out really well, even though I sprayed a bit heavily.
How'd yours go?
I polished up my center caps and scrubbed the brake dust off the inside of them too. They could pass as NOS now!

I used the VHT Wheel Paint in Chevy Rally Silver - cost me $16.99
Very happy with the result - if it was daylight I would take a photo but its not. They look great and my centre caps are perfect. Only one of the chrome rings has some gutter rash, the others are all in great condition.

I think i bought a set of 14" dress rings for like $40 from autobarn once.
Good to have spares, they tend to fall off sometimes!

fixed my brake problem, then fixed the rocket cover gasket and then gave her good wash, it looks a little better, still needs respray. good day for me though.
