MOT's all sorted now, and all legit before anyone accuses me of anything. the lad who did the welding felt guilty and paid the full bill to the garage for welding and retest(£75 all in!!) wich is a nice gesture, but i'll pay him back before long. she will go to the ball (or pv, whatever...)
epic, i canny wait!!!
well taxed and sorted this morning, so took it for a 30 mile blast (10 or so miles b road and the rest motorway) and it behaved impeccably, and doesnt sound thrashy at all at 70 in fourth. roll on saturday!
borrowed some wheels off a mate for the PVS weekend (i'm not driving 200 miles on 145's!) sat at et35, mk2 Golf GTi rims (185/60 r14)
i didnt get pics of the wheels i'm planning on putting on, i trial fitted one and it sat out at the front by about half an inch. then i found they are et26... possibly i might not go with those ::
now lowered! 60mm kit, could do with going a touch lower at the rear but i'm happy for now
also bought an SR clockse of ebay, with horrible yellow dials
but wait...
all the yellow faces are now gone, and the needles are battleship grey (i couldnt shift that flourescant orange) just need to re-zero all the dials now and swap my speedo head into this set to keep the mileage, plus wire in the rev counter and oil pressure switch, plus need to get a switch if anyone has one...
liking the 5 door m8, you could set it off with some sexier wheels but thats your choice, bargain price paid though lad, another 1 saved anyway, polished it up well m8
just needs some lo pros on them steels mate, looks tidy as tho!
I don't like the vw wheels
i've only polished the bonnet, and now half of the boot. and with the wheels, as stated they are only borrowed till i find something decent, i'm not driving around on 145/70 13's...
so after lowering it i decided to tinker some more, took a couple of badges off the back and polished the lower half of the boot, and sprayed up the grab handle, wiper arm and mirror caps in satin black...
and then i got creative with a flame red touch up pen and some autosol. good result as well i think
and how the clocks are shaping up...
and random addition...
