Patch's Car

[Patch The Pomme]

Well i'm new to the site,but not new to VW's,so here is my latest car in the making.

Day one of ownership,June 08





First job was to remove the awfull lights,and fit a black rear view mirror.








Lost all of those stickers and it looked like this

That's not half bad! Very different.

Thanks

Next cam some 312mm front brakes



Then there was a proplem with wet carpets.
Got to my mates and we dropped the headlining and checked the sunroof drainage,everything was in order.We knew the carpet had to come out as it was soaked,so disconected the battery and spotted a gromit in the engine bay.It was for the bonnet release cable,on closer inspection some prat had fed the boost guage through the bulkhead and not sealed it.That's the sorce of my proplem them,we ran the boost guage through the fuse box and put the grommit back into place.

Front seats out,and carpet removed(not as quick as it sounds).






I ran like this for a few weeks while the carpets were drying out and to make sure the leak was fixed.

[Patch The Pomme]

Lol,the first time i hit them i nearly went through the windscreen.

A few of us went for some rolling shots,these were taken by someone hanging out of a bora(elbows inches from the floor)

It's quite amazing how much crap you do get in your catch can set up. Puts a smile on my face everytime I think of how much crap I'm keeping out of my motor

[Patch The Pomme]

Shockingly all that crap reduces the octane of your fuel.


A bit more suspension tweaking had it sat like this









And a few pics of mine and my buddy Pat's awesome car(the guy that takes the photo's).
