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

Got a lot done today with big thanks to Gavin h100vw (no cat to help out as Gavin's cat was busy doing its thing and mine was home guarding the veggies):

Replaced: Air Filter, Oil Filter and Oil Change - magnetic sump plug, Fuel Filter, new MAF, Spark Plugs and new leads, new firmer Dog-Bone Mount (not completely sold on it yet - seems to accentuate vibration and noise in the cabin, but will give it a week), lost then found one of my front grille pieces (in the space of half an hour) at SuperCheap while sourcing degreaser for Gavin's driveway (fortunately it was still there when I retraced my steps), and lastly we fit a full leather interior from Gavin's previous ride(!)

Then got home and hit the leather with cleaner and conditioner - will continue this over the weekend. Also, continued with the de-soft-touching of interior plastics as the finish is all peeling off - not sure what the plan is with this as yet - ie. respray them or just leave them matte if I can get the sanding smooth enough.

(Amazingly, while Gavin was helping me with this stuff, he also fit coil-overs to another ride!)

Alot happier today. Managed to get my hood latch working all good after ripping apart half the front end of the car. Turns out the mechanism for the primary lock had spun all the way around and managed to block the hood latch from opening. So got that fixed and installed grille and hood pull.

Installed bits o plastic such as the battery cover.
Sprayed engine bay with 303 aerospace protector which is absolutely fantastic. Really good stuff that.
Installed the engine bay "bumpers"
Tried to install the new clutch switch but found out its slightly different which is annoying. Will trim it down to get it to work.
Fixed the bolts that i rounded for the door lock module
Fitted new stubby antenna
Fitted the LED city lights
Fitted smoked side markers. Still a bit unsure on those will see how it goes later on.
Fitted new ambient temp sensor.....and forgot to plug it in

And changed over the interior cabin filter which was absolutely filthy as.

Few Pic's With more over here.

Eventually we did after Robin came in for a drink and got locked out again.. I now look like I have a self harming problem with all the scratches on my arms.
