Touche!

Well wheels dropped off at the powder coaters should be ready on wednesday.

Picked up new rear engine and gearbox mounts along with new water pump.

Bay is mostly ready for primer now. Going to colour code the brake servo as well now. New parts from VW ordered and with 30% discount it's still £255. Quite a lot of parts no longer available.

I'd hate to see the full bill for this!

Should in theory keep most of its value though

While i was waiting for the primer to dry on some of the bay i started to some other bits.

Got my spare drivers side dash under tray and cut a couple of holes in it to see if i could mount my stealth stereo install.

Managed to get both the eq and the volume control in the service documents slot.

Will be a lot better on the real one but easy access to everything.

Started on some of the gear linkage, clean painted and new bush's etc fitted.

Cleaned and painted my corrado PAS pump.

Tidy!

Indeed! Tidy as a tidy thing in Tidyville

Keep up the great work - I know you will

Picked up my wheels from the powder coaters.

Tyres will be in tomorrow and fitted. Should pick them up tomorrow all done. New G60 centres ordered as well.

May get another wheel done as a spare i think.

Look fecking mint them wheels! Top effort

Very, very nice!

White on White, brilliant...........:P

Got a couple of more bits done today.

Cleaned and painted both front caliper carriers.

Got my heat sheilds out. Cleaned up the lower one and came out ok compared to the upper one i have not touched yet.

Wheels are all done and look ok.

With G60 centre cap.

Very slight stretch on the front but a bit more on the rear.

Cleaned and waxed one up and shines in the sun.

Shows the quality on Daz's work on the wheels. Hardly any balance weights needed and the centre one didn't need any.

Golf was in the spray booth last night as well but need a bit of time for my fingers to rest from all the sanding lol.

Wheels look top quality!!!

Wheels look top quality!!!

Right with you on that one Tom, love the wheels and the stretch!!!

Lets just hope i didn't go to wide on the back lol. I can see a lot of work needed on those rear arch's and arch trims. Only problem now i am doing the bodywork myself i can only blame myself. Still i do have a grinder for such problems.

After a late night last night the bay is now a nice shade of white. Will finish off the servo and bonnet hinges tonight. Trying to get the truck over the weekend to get it back home.

Sorted out my engine bay wiring looms today as the cloth tape had mostly come off.

All layed out ready to go

As soon as you touched the loom the tape was falling off.

Power and lighting loom all cleaned and cloth tape put on.

Engine loom all cleaned up and cloth tape put on. Left a couple of bits as easyer to shape when in place.

Can remember where they all go which is good as i did not label up anything lol.

Just towed the mk2 back home under the cover of darkness lol but it is back home now. Pics will be up tomorrow now.

looking great mate,can't wait to see this done:D

Cleaned out some of the crap out the car and fitted the wheels.

Still need to polish it all but looks ok for a first go at painting.

The bay itself.

Drivers side wheel arch.

Passenger side wheel arch.

Painted the rear of the boot plus around the inside of the side windows after i repaired them.

Wheels look good on the car with the centre caps fitted.

Looks a bit wider now.

Come out better than i thought it would.

Think you got the width/offset/stretch/arch combo perfect at the back mate!

Just needs more lower

Wheels were a bit of a calculation and guess but will fit a lot better once it's dropped. Should go lower once i start to put stuff back in. Will be going for coilovers once it's back together.

Try to get most of the floor sound deadened so i can start fitting some of the interior. Just hope the weather is ok this week.

Looks like great progress mate and it's coming together nicely.......

Wheels look spot on........

First class it has to be said. Wheels are going to be just perfect I'm sure!

Started to put things back together today.

Floor cleaned and one layer of sound deadening then one of thick underlay to replace the old rotten stuff.

Sound deadened the rear suspension turrets and boot floor. Not putting the foam boot trims in as got a set of carpet trims from an older mk2. Took a lot of cleaning to remove the dog hair but came up mint.

Rear carpet section cleaned up and fitted.

Installed JBL rear speakers into the factory locations.

Removed the lock mech for the petrol flap and just need to convert it from air to electric operation.
