    That new rear vinyl looks great.

    Grant - I'll be in touch!
    Will definitely need to have a chat with you before I bite off more than I can chew.

    It's coming together.
    Things will be a little slow as my accident has slowed me down (i smashed my jaw cycling to work after hitting a truck) and i have my teeth wired shut for 6 weeks.

    But the wiring is pretty tidy and i got some heat shield on there. Car starts and idles now but the tacho is jumping all over the place for some reason.

    a few fixes first...

    Holy crap, hope you recover from the accident okay.
    I must admit i chucked a bit when i read that "at least the wiring was pretty tidy and you have some heat-shielding on" as i thought you were talking about your teeth for a minute.

    The car is really starting to come together well, the off-aligned intercooler is due to piping requirements i assume?

    Nah it's actually just the way it sits. All mk2's have angled radiators, so i put the intercooler as close as i could.

    Thanks for the get well words

    You really have to stop trying to take on trucks with your jaw. You don't know how much damage you can do to the truck.

    Sorry, couldn't resist. Hope all is better and you've got some manly scars to impress the chicks.

    Even without any of the GTI trim it looks really good. Ever thought of running it without any side trim?

    Cheers

    Paul
