  1. Thought that I'd get started on the bits of rust on the floor pans this week, I've got 3 bits to do on the floor,one of which is the usual from what I've seen! One of the rubber drain plugs(if you know there name and what they're for I'd love to know!?) The others bits of rust need to be done from underneath and I need one of the ramps for that so that'll have to wait for a quiet Saturday at work. So got stripping out the interior in my tea breaks and lunch times. Anyway got the rear section of carpet out and found this; Stripped back a bit of sound deadening to make sure it hadn't spread any
  2. Could this explain why I seem to have a noise like an air leak under my dash? And my blowers are useless when trying to clear the screen? Mine has climatronic.
  3. After buying the plate my tip would be to go directly to the dvla website, at first I found it on a brokers website for £320 odd quid. Then I looked on the dvla website where it was £250 including all transfer fees and vat, a bit of a bargain I thought!

  5. There was quite a few other issues, it needs a windscreen, and the front wings are rotten amongst others,wouldn't have been worth paying someone to do it but as I'm in the trade it didn't matter to much, got a few more bits done this week including the new private plate I bought for it, was the first private plate I've ever bought and I was surprised at how easy it was to buy and get on the car! Then the headlamp covers I ordered turned up,gave up looking for original hella smoked ones and got these for £28 delivered,not genuine but fit really well, though if anyone on here has got a good ne
  6. Thanks was going to paint the grill slats black today,but thought it'd look to much like yours!
  7. First things to do were to get rid of the lights a get some some oe fogs and cl orange indicators as I've got a thing for US cars with the running lights in the indicators etc, and some cl rear lamps which I have tinted the indicators red on, Then got a tailgate with no spoiler as mine had a couple of big dents on, plus a bumper from the same person as mine had a fair bit of damage after 17 years and 170k of driving had taken its toll! £50 for the pair bargain! Then did the most important thing and got some coilovers on it, they are ebay special prosports but for the price you can't complain
  8. Hi, going to try to do a bit of a build thread for my new project which was a bit of an unexpected bargain buy from eBay, it was sold with a clutch that needed doing,(nylon bushes on the pedal had disintegrated) 68p or something later from vw this was fixed;) touch! Abs pump needed changing,(it didn't was the front right sensor £10 later fixed!) Luckily for me it was a bit undersold in the advert as it wasn't mentioned that there was 17 stamps in the service book,half we're main dealer and half were from the phirm who seem to know the car pretty well,apparently it had a shrick manifold on it b
  9. Mines nearly 172k, fancy getting it on a dyno soon to see what that mileage does to an engine,still drives brilliantly though!
  10. I'm very interested in this, the golfs due an oil n filter, but I don't intend on draining the oil all over a speed bump somewhere!!!
