After yesterday's poor effort I needed to build up my morel.

Before I ripped it down it looked as tho I may have some fitment issues up front.

Went through idea after idea, re drill hubs, re drill wheels, shorten wish bones, machine the back of the wheel.

Then tried face mounting them.



Quite possibly pulled them in too far.





At least it's a solution. The mrs bought the bolts for my 30th, she'd go spare if I didn't use them.

Bit more progress with the rear bumper.



Bit if a lump on the right, and needs another fill, prime the re texture.

Managed to sort out some little bits this week.

Refilled, smoothed and re texturised the modded bumper.



Well chuffed with the out come.



Fitted some washer jets. For the heck of it.



Rubbed of the gash GTI writing on the heckblende.



Polished up.



And offered up.



Fitted the rear assembly.
(Poop pic.)





Fitted drivers side assembly, anti roll bar and lower strut brace.



Still need to fettle the fitment.

Your aproval is very much appriciated.



Picked up a super cheap catch can, to replace my even worse, leaking rocker breath filter.
Not bad for £18 delivered.

One step forward..



Two steps back.



I bought an extra ltr if paint to touch up a couple of bits, boot included.

Went to offer it up, and looks completely different. ��

So I polished the lights properly.









Gonna cry myself to sleep now.

[Evilist]

Any tips on polishing the tail lights? I have been wanting to restore my Mazda ones. Yours look great!

[BIGNICK]

So this happened..



Spoke with the guys in the paint shop and they gave me a ltr foc. Couldn't really ask for more..

Stop it! I'll blush..

Went back to the unit to check on the paint.

Best yet! Well chuffed..



But if spit and polish and she should come up a goodun'

However..





Still wrong. So, another ltr purchased, painting should be finished this weekend. 😁

So I thought I'd offer up my life changing Vortex back box http://www.vortex-performance-exhaus...ash/enginedemo promising promising performance gains, fuels consumption reductions and lasting longer in bed I'm expecting big things! 😉



Internal shot.





A little video, no back box.

Going to have to see if there's any real performance improvements when she's back on the ground

[BIGNICK]
