Agreed!
Managed to get alot done on the golf yesterday, not got many pics. Started off by fiting the new timing belt kit, waterpump, thermostat, rocker gasket. Was a pain in the hoop for what should have been a easy(ish) job.
Also got the rear coilovers fitted up along with a new wheel cylinder to repair the broken bleed nipple. On stripping the rear drum and shoes off we found a snapped cable and a knackered bearing, so that'll be the next job.
Thats the main job done and is running pretty well bar sounding a little tappety. Not sure if thats normal as it was a non runner when i got it, some fresh oil and a poke about should see it running well.
The next plan is to get it rolling so that it can be brought out for a wash or detail whatever you youngins call it these days.

Having looked more into it and had a good poke around it tonight we've got it running bob on. Gave it a full filter service whilst we were at it. Very happy, got a few water leaks to sort out but over the moon.
Big thanks to John and my cousin Mark who did the timing belt whilst i was loosing the plot with it all. Cheers guys.

Another day another load of bits bought. This time front discs and pads, handbrake cables and some new caliper bolts from Vw.
Cracked on and fitted up the new handbrake cables along with a new rear bearing. I'll adjust the handbrake once the front brakes are fitted and do a long overdue brake fluid change.

Got John to fit up the front brakes (I hate doing brakes with a passion) did a brake fluid change and bam shes on her wheels.
Only on the 2 turbines as John's nicked the other 2 whilst getting his tyres changed.
Gotta get the rest refitted, fix 2 water leaks then get her up for test.

Yeah, turbs silver with some 165's!!
noicecant wait to see it slammed on the turbs
about time
Turbines in a nice OE silver will look best mate.
I'd even consider detailing it for you! Keep in touch sweetie!
Cheers guys. The plan is to go lower on silver tubs with 165, but all depends on how it goes with the Mot. Updates to follow shortly.
Bashed on and did some more work to get her ready for mot, swapped the rear turbines for the other 2 steels, added the wheel trims, Put the front bumper, lights, grill on and to finish put on the new rear lights. Gave her a quick hose down too. I'm pretty happy with how it looks, still more to do but finishing touches really to bring it all togther.

Looks good Mr D
I see you have converted to the dark side then. Took a while.

Not as long as some peoples conversions.............................
Might do. Would be two bungs though, one for the wiper and one for the washer so might look a bit random. Cheers for the idea though.
Does look much better imo. Beleive haha.
Yummy!! <3
+1 on the bungs

Love it ! Great project so far. Bet you haven't even spent a grand yet have you inc the car.
Update:
Passed her MOT on Friday, straight pass. MOT guy said he hadn't seen one so clean in ages, pretty chuffed. Few pics from the test.
Waiting to go in
On the ramp
And probably the height it used to be lol
Got a bit of a slagging from the tester as he couldn't get the ramp jacks along to the rear of the car as they caught on the subframe/sump ha ha.
A quick run through to the DVLA saw it being changed from disabled tax onto normal tax starting from the first of the month. Pretty happy all in.
