Not much of an update but today I got the bonnet catches of the replacement bonnet I'm using and decided to give them a proper clean up :) Started with the actual bonnet release thing and gave it a going over with the dremel but it's quite stubborn so all the bits are now soaking in paraffin over night and will use the drill with wire wheel attachment in the morning ready to go back on the bonnet :)

Some before shots, will get afters tomorrow :)

cheers for the link mr T 

[Torquesport]

No probs! Did you get some?

Anyway, rear brake hoses now ordered from EuroCarParts, only £9.74 delivered which is fine by me! Get them fitted, new fluid and a marathon bleeding session should see another job out of the way.

[vinny_69]

yep i got mine the other day but they wont be going in for a while as i need a few other dash bit's and bobb's first.

[Torquesport]

Rear brake hoses arrived last night, just a matter of getting them fitted now.

Well I haven't done anything to this recently :( Been busy getting bits done to dads car as and when the weathers allowed but today decided to put my mk4 alloys back on and clean at least 1 of the rear arches ready for some paint to clean them up :)

Then a picture of 1 of the drums... not sure why.... simply because I can :)


Cleaned the drivers rear arch:



Will go over it again and do the passenger one as well and give both of them a lick of paint to smarten them up!

Also plan to clean the rear beam best I can whilst it's on the car and give that a lick of black paint as well to smarten it up as it's very very gruby! Front arches/legs will be done when the welding has been finished :)

[Torquesport]

Looking good mate. We'll get started on it proper on Sunday.

[Ben_Mk3]

Well I haven't updated this in a while, simply because I haven't done anything! but last month I purchased my back box of Adz and today I got it, not sure when I'm going to fit it yet as I need to order some new exhaust rubbers and I also might need to have a play with making it fit! but I've given it a quick wipe over with wire wool and then a polish with metal polish and got a nice shine so will stick with it and hopefully it'll look and sound lovely!
