update time.

the other day I (finally) popped on my GTi spec front stoppers. Damn, they are so much bigger than stock, and already I can feel the difference, even though I havn't been for a big drive.

Pics:
Look at these suckers! new one on the right, not that I needed to tell you that.


fitted:


clearance issues you say?

[Jarred]

an todays update, (the brakes were done before chrissy actually!)

finally a garage to work in!



yay for primerage:




and the monkey that helped me do it.


Ill wet sand it tomorrow, and respray the few spots that need a touch up, and then hopefully, fingers crossed, colour on friday!!! clear coat will have to wait a while maybe, as i've work on monday at the tennis

sweet. what colour you painting it? looks like the drivers door has dropped a couple mm, are you going to raise it?

you work for rowlands..????

[GoLfMan]

wow thats like a REALLY hot photo of me

[Jarred]

you work for rowlands..????

huh?

I'll be sticking with the original wattle yellow, just so i dont have to repsray everything. If i was goign to change colour I would get candy apple green on joachims mk 1, but I dont' have the time, tools, space or money to do a full respray. I'll do it one day, if i keep my car for a long time.

joachims mk 1:

It just happens to be my fav mk 1 I've ever seen.

hate to aswer for Jarred here, but seeing as im there more often than not....

yup the doors being raised, few more spots need to be hit with high fill by this ugly "monkey", then we can paint it by the looks of things its going to come out nice!

then its onto my car so we can get them both ready for Nats!

[99gti]

I think your both crazy ass nut jobs - but I like the looks of this. Keep it up lads!

Looking promising dudes! When's the nats on this year? If i hook in i might have the bad girl done and i'll drive down in a car worth showing this year..

Nats is in april I believe, although I'm not sure of the exact date even!
I do know that I'll be road tripping it up with a bunch of the other Vic boys, providing nothing goes astray. I May even put in a 5 Speed for all the highway driving I'll do! I will probably enter it at nats, but I'm not expecting any throphies for this baby.

My car is nearly done now. Once it's painted, I'll get an exhaust made up, and take it for RWC, all being well come feburary, it'll be reg'd and everything. Then there will just be little things along the way that I have to fix/improve, but for now, it's nearly done!!


oh and you better get your act into gear then! the more mk 1's there the better! Wabit is also planning on debuting his cab there...
