super clean

Thanks!

Small job but satisfying none the less. Cleaned all the dimples of the golfball gearknob. They were all full of filth.

Before



After, All clean and took the shine off of it.




Also finally got a new fuel level sender for the digifiz.

Early 3 pin



Late 4 pin. It's just a separate earth running to the same earth as the rest if the sensors for more accuracy. Had to add an extra wire but now my fuel level it showing accurately. Showing 25 litres extra to the other one was. Think the early one was a bit knackered anyway because my old clocks never went above 3/4 of a tank.

Immaculate car! Love it.

Thanks man

Couple of small bits done. New boot lifers as the old ones started squeaking, New passenger side mirror, and new drivers side interior window scraper.

[Maerius]

Looks good!

[LukeyBabes]

Thanks

I think i should start to get some credit for this car since the last two updates have been using my parts

[LukeyBabes]

Maybe a small portion of credit lol

Couple of bits bought some wider rear dishes for the RS quite cheap because they needed a polish and had 2 flat spots on them.
They showed up yesterday and since it was such nice weather today I cracked out the bench polisher and hammered out the flat spots.



One flat spot was quite small and barely noticeable.



Still needed some adjustment though.



This one was painted gold on the back too. Cleaned that all off before I polished them.



The other dish had one that was a lot more noticeable.




This one came out easy enough too. Good old nylon hammer.




Then they got a good polish. Very happy with them.




And the passenger side interior window scrapper got replaced. I noticed the drivers side one was a slightly different profile than my old one. So I had to get one that matched.



And one of my electric window switches was dimer than the other. Very annoying. So I bought some new ones to try and two with the same brightness level.



Got an electric sunroof switch for the future too. Won't fit that until I have an actual electric sunroof though.

Got a couple more bits for the parts pile.

Votex rear spoiler. Compared it to the standard one in the first picture. Quite a lot bigger. Got this for a bargain price.








A nice subtle difference I think. Need to make some brackets to attach it though, I don't think the masking tape will hold it. I think I might make some so I can attach it through the original GTI glass holes. I know they normally have brackets to fit under the glass rubber. But I don't have those so I might as well make some to fit it in a better way.



And I got a nice bargain at Bristol Volksfest amongst a few other cool bits. £2 for a drivers side front G60 arch. In not too bad condition. Shame they didn't have the other side too.

[LukeyBabes]

Another thing for my to do list. Been really lazy with this recently. Still haven't made some brackets for the votex spoiler.

Electric sun roof motor. Need to make a loom and a cover for it. But did get it pretty cheap.

The OEM parts on this car is getting to be past the "insane" level. I wish I had your amount of patience, money and luck in finding parts like this.

Until now, I didn't regret selling my Mk2. You suck!

[LukeyBabes]

All I need now is the headlight washers and that is it. Check list is complete. Not going to pay a lot for those though. Well, like everything else. lol. I do seem to have a lot of luck recently. Just won a passenger side front g60 arch for £16. So my whole g60 kit cost me £18 lol.

Need to go give it a good clean for GTI international tomorrow. Everyone should regret selling their mk2s. haha

[LukeyBabes]

Being so lazy updating this atm. Managed to find the correct cover for the electric sunroof at GTI international. Probably paid a bit much for it but what are the odds really. Had to buy it. Was missing the bracket to fit it so I had to make that as well as the wiring but that wasn't hard. Made it while I was making the brackets for the Votex spoiler that also got fitted today.










And the spoiler
