Well done ben

Well done buddy  

After weeks of thinking about it I decided that I wanted to try something a bit different with the wheels so decided to have them diamond cut with dark grey backgrounds and satin laquered, as per some new Audis. Stuck the Compomotive's back on and it looked pretty awesome with the Air ride, lip and Comps on it!
I ended up sending the wheels to a local firm that promised the earth but haven't quite delivered, the finish is a bit crap to say the least? They looked OK on the car though and this was the day before one of my favourite shows Edition 38,
Was an excellent day and I was just about to leave when a nice man stuck a sticker on my window! Turns out I'd been awarded 2nd best Mk3 Golf behind Robg60 with Dougie Trix the other runner up.
Lining up waiting, colour's of the German flag! Then on the stage!!! Was brilliant to win something at Edition after years and years of seeing the types of cars that win here in magazines!! Super chuffed with that at the moment especially after reminding myself how this car started at the beginning of this thread!!!

Haven't updated this for ages, I never seem to get 5 spare minutes, one of the many joys of parenthood as I'm discovering! after a bit of use a few weeks back I realised that there seemed to be antifreeze stains appearing under the bonnet, then realised a couple of days before VW festival that it was the water pump, luckily I had a new one about from the other engine I'm building for the car , so got it on there after having much fun with rounded/seized bolts on the water pump pulley! The car then ran without a hiccup or sign of a leak all the way to Leeds and back! VW Festival was also absolutely brilliant, had such a giggle with the rest of the VR6oc crew!
Then the other day a Votex front lip appeared locally on eBay for not much money and though I'd been after a Henri Lloyd lip for I don't know how long, I thought I'd have a 'crack' at this crack being the best word for it! Cheers Wayne!
A day or 2 later after much grinding cut drilling riveting, fibreglassing painting etc etc, it's was back in one piece and repainted in black texture paint, I now really liked it and hoped it would fit a US bumper! And after even more cutting, trimming filing etc, it did!

Count me in, I was going to hide in Bealieboys boot.

Happy days mate, its a single day so nobody can complain about your snoring....

Oh ffs legend, spose someone better add me to the list too then. I'm club display, no tyre shredding for me! Thanks

Best weekend for a long time, absolutely hilarious antics and banter with the lads. Some great looking cars, just about everywhere you looked!

For those that missed it, you are nuts, get your arses down there next year, for me it's the best show of the calendar!!!

Dave, thanks very much to you and your better half, the food was very much appreciated and surprisingly edible! From now, you will no longer be called Dave Bradley, you will be called "Legend" with various amounts of sarcasm!!!

Top weekend guys, great company!!

I've got the engine plastics. Just not fitted here.

Cheers.

New plug leads fitted,
New plugs fitted,
New coilpack on order!

Slow day today for progress....

Ordered the following bits though....

Valeo clutch kit.
Discs and pads front
Discs and pads rear
Oil and filter
Pair of wings.

Gonna make a start and do the clutch first. At least then I can manage to move the car around easily.

Rear bumper will be coming off and more prodding around to inspect for rust.

Underseal is waiting after the welding is done, if I'm investing in this one, I want to make it last!!

Anti roll bars to be removed and painted orange.

Have a pair of new rear calipers ready to fit.
Along with a mile of copper pipe to redo all the brake pipes.

Sure I've still got some goodridge hoses somewhere in the garage too.

I guess at this stage it's all or nothing? So I'm going in balls deep lol!

Figure I might as well sort all the rust on the body and prep for top coat myself to save some ££££.

More progress to follow!

Alright legend?! Head better now?
Oh, you mean pete says he's going but actually won't?! Happy days then!!!!

Oh no!!!!

Yeah got it done after having to argue with the bloke as was gonna turn me away for being low.

Yeah same mate. Nightmare getting out of harewood. Once on the road it was plain sailing.

Thought I would get this topic going again to see how things compared a few years ago?
