Looking good golfer, i wish i could get my hands on a mk2 3 door .

Got a couple of questions for u tho, do u mind me asking how much the spray job was? Did u do any prep work as well?? It seems ur fully diseased with the vw thing like i am, i hope ur sis is treating the former golfer well

I'll have some pics for you this arvo, I've got the day off, so I'm doing a little bit of colour-coding in the engine bay. Also at the same time I'll take some pics of the boot. I've stripped it, and polished up the towers, ready to make a fake floor that I can bolt my sub down to, as I'm getting thoroughly sick of the green occy-strapped effect.

Polished strut brace still sitting in my shed waiting to be fitted when I have the time. And the brand new battery is back out of the car getting charged. I have to take the car over later today and get the alternator tested, as the battery mysteriously discharged itself, yet I had the battery load-tested and it's as good as brand-new!?!?!?!?

All this while working my Ringo Starr off at work... Thank God for days off!!!

Chisto...

I'll be keeping an eye out for your old girl

Update: Exhaust is done, the extractors are fantastic and it sounds and goes great! Mind you, with the exhaust leaks gone, i can hear every creak and rattle... So I put a 10" sub in the boot to compensate

Hopefully I'll get the strut brace in in the next couple of days...

pics or ban

Here are some quick pics...

First a quick coat of gunmetal to some bits in the engine bay. Not a colour match, but better than rusty red lol





Then the clean-up job in the boot...





No pics of the sub/amp yet, I suspect it's responsible for my electrical gremlins, so it's been removed for the moment. I will put pics up after I make the fake floor though...

Cheers...

Looks sweet John!

I just cant seem to be able to keep my boot so clean with all the shiit weather we have been having!!

time to get the elbow grease out again!

[Golfer]

Car is still not running, I'm going to get it towed to the auto-electrician tomorrow, as I just cannot get the darn thing to produce a spark...

Took some night pics with it out the front of my house (as it won't start I can't drive it up the hill into the garage ) Apologies for the filthy state of it...







Cheers
