Rite guys if your name is on the list I need you to PM me your address so I can send the club stand passes out to you. Please remember you need to prebook you tickets weather your there for the weekend or just the day this also applies for passengers too. All club stand passes must be displayed on your rear view mirror before you enter the show ground and all wrist bands must be worn too

Well I had a couple of hours to tinker on the golf today so I got all of the mounts bolted down most of the plumbing and wiring done lower inlet and injectors bolted in exhaust manifolds bolted up then I remove all of the air con pipes. I used one of the hockey pucks on the front mount to raise the sump a bit then I put my upper inlet on to make sure the bonnet would close with the engine lifted a bit and I could just get a finger between them but the front end isn't on so the bonnet sat lower than normal

Just need to sort out where im gonna put my oil catch can now

Not as hi tech as you fellas but after a few attempts with super glue and epoxy resin didn't work, cable ties and duct tape to the rescue!!

Fuckin hell even TVs aren't safe from DRL retro fits

Looks good

Thought I would start a thread on the weird and wonderful minds of all you vr heads...
I got the job of painting my mates wheels to go on his focus st.. I did them in high gloss pearl pink. . The pics don't do them justice but what a tremendous colour to paint with... The flip between pink, orange, blue and white...

Looking good buddy.
Always loved mk2's in oak green!

looking nice

Nice beading on the roof! Looks pukka

Bumpers done in textured black paint to give them a new lease of life.. All my arches and trims are done ready to be fitted tommorow so it's getting there.. got the roof polished up which was the last thing to do bodywork side.. just waiting on wheels being made now and getting them painted.. hopefully it will look alright at the vw festival in august in leeds...

Today I managed to get quite a lot done... windows back in, rubber trims on, front end on, wiper motor and arms, door seals etc etc....
All I have left to do is flat and polish the roof (I've just flattened it down tonight) so it's ready to re polish back up maybe tommorow or Thursday. It's absolutely filthy inside and out to be honest so next on my list is to get it cleaned down to a degree that I can still use it..
Textured black paint is ready to be picked up so I can get the tops of the bumpers, arches, skirts and door mouldings all re painted with a fresh coat of black. Bumpers I will just paint on the car..
Guy from the mk2 owners club has sold me the two door moulding strips thank god so I don't have to silicone them on again ... Mint condition with all the clip retainers intact..
Next week I've booked a full interior valet Inc the seats and carpets being soaped and vacuumed, getting rid of 23 years of grime and dirt..
So here are some more pics from today's progress...

Today was productive, got started around 10am and started flatting down the fresh paintwork for a good buff up with the machine polisher.. really happy with the end result being that I done the whole respray in a garage without the conditions of a spray booth.. I used 2000 wet and dry with plenty water and soapy detergent so stop it from sticking and dragging across the panels. After a good flat down I got out the polisher and started with the compound (g3).. keeping it cold so I didn't burn it but went over each panel until there was no visible scratches left from flattening. All I need to do now is the roof which will be tommorow morning and then build it back up again. Number plates on etc...
I'm getting a ltr of bumper textured black on Friday to redo my plastic arches, skirts and front and rear bumper tops to give them a new clean fresh look... I'm wanting it to look as original as possible but with some nice little subtle changes..
Any comments or criticisms will be appreciated..
I still need to go back across the full car with a soft sponge mop and some soft high build wax to give the paintwork a really deep shine and look. Then a massive clean inside and out (probably with a jet wash and some snow foam) just to get rid of any excess buffing compound which will be stuck in all the places that I can't get to.
I'm looking for someone in the north east to do a full interior valet if anyone has any recommendations, just to give the seats and carpets and nice clean smell and get rid of 23 years of muck and grime which will be in there..
I've still got some major work to be done in the engine bay regarding tidying cables and wires up and trying generally to remove items from the bay so that I can have the holes welded up and them smoothed..
Here are some more pics of how I'm getting on with it...
