Sorry m8 but in those pics your car looks pretty pants to me....

What a machine, if anyones close enough you have to go round and see it in the flesh, absolutely unreal how clean it is.
A credit to you Shaun, keep up the good work!!

Awesome mate, just read it all, really put me in the mood for starting my resto (be it a golf ) too

The yellow and grey works well together

How low do the avo coilies go on the rear? theyre different to my cheapo TA Technix ones

Cheers Mate,

There is still about an inch left to go down on the rear. I'm going to adjust them when I get my wheels sorted as I think it is sitting just a tad too high at the rear.

The fronts are as low as I'm willing to go, there is still a couple of threads left, but it's fine at the front me thinks.

Cheers again for all the comments, should have som more pics and progress this weekend.

Shaun.

Since last update, I have went round the car touching up (oooeer) any imperfections in the paint, I have fitted a red stripe to the bumpers and the most noticeable is the wheels.

Thanks to Vaughan, they fit a treat, no spacers on the rear and only 3mm on the front. I will probably space out the rears 5mm to increase the track width, still plenty of room under those arches.

I'm chuffed with how it looks.









Almost finished........

That looks amazing! Can not wait to see it at the shows. It all looks so crisp and fresh. Credit to you
