What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[RubAVeeDubDub]

So you have a thin, straw-like knob that gets stuck in the upward position and is hard to aim? Sorry, I couldn't help myself

Bahaha you picked up on my sly humour

Yeah, things are a tough in my world these days. There is hope though - blue pills!

Started the transfer of my audio system from my old car into the bora.
In my old car I made a new boot floor to house the sub and amps but I didn't like the weight & noise of the setup and had some safety concerns if I ever had an accident.

For the bora im keeping it simple with the two amps mounted to board under the parcel shelf and a custom fabricated fiberglass sub box on the left side of the boot.

So today I spent making the board. Took quite a lot of time to find where to bolt it up to without illegally drilling the parcel shelf and then working out how to mount it without having the bolts exposed.

6 hours later I basically have a block of plywood with some holes in it and some carpet and rubber lining on it. Doesn't look like much lol. And my upholstery job was a bit average thanks to a ****ty staple gun and a blunt knife.

During the process, as you dl with second hand cars, found some terrible wiring work and shoddy cable mounting. Some genius also decided to cut the 3rd brake light loom and wire in a cable what im yet to discover its purpose.

Next will be mounting the subs, fabricating the sub box and deadening the front doors plus obviously installing everything.

No, but I should have.. Don't worry, I have a shootload of pictures to fill one up once I finally start it. Heaps of pics for my mods and fixes like: Joey modded lights, Intercooler install and custom mounts, own method for brake light switch repair and rebuild, full interior swap to black with leather Bora sport seats, only basic pics for 1.8T engine swap and coilovers install, tail lights swap, Votex valance fitting and painting to colour match, noisy starter motor removal and recondition/re-grease, etc,, etc.,

Looking into next/today: retro fitting fog lights into my non fog Joey modded headlights. I've salvaged the fog lights and wiring harnesses from the smashed headlights from this great condition parting out/wrecking/breaking MK4 Golf GTI that 'Schalke04' is getting rid of parts on, get in touch with him ASAP if you want anything, he's a great guy and wants to move it so check out his thread below.. Great condition black/grey GTI seats, etc.!

Parting Mk4 Golf Gti

He's also parting out a Seat Cupra GTI too..

All good! Tempe Tyres sorted me out.. Only $40 total, $20 for the 10x 40mm bolts, and $20 to install the spacers with new bolts!

Pic time.. Gave it a wash, finished painting Votex valance (not rubbed back or buffed yet), 15mm H&R spacers on rear, and FMIC for those who hadn't seen that yet too..



Finally coming together.. Colour coded rub strips next..

Looks great Kenbot. It's amazing how much of a difference the valance makes to the looks of the front.

[kendog]

Rear looks better with the H&R spacers now too..



.. That's also a much more realistic colour of the car.

That colour is great Kenbot (what is the name of it?) and the valance looks great
