finally on but a whole host of new issues
http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...8/htc671-1.jpg
had to raise it from the bentleys as these have slight poke but had very little time so just cleaned up the coils and span them up so got a lot of fine tuning to do

first coat of enamel(none of the second coat,finished them @2 this morning)
http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...8/htc683-1.jpg
bought a poly'd subframe and wishbones from a mate as my bushes are shagged,the front right is pretty much just flopping about like a dead hooker in a boot but should get them mid-week and fitted for friday hopefully then readjust the coils
