yeah kinda Mistake from the supplier in Germany and PhilJ

When I double checked it was the correct kit (after Max having a problem) Phil said it was correct.

when I found out it wasn't I went mad lol, but turns out it was a genuine mistake and Phil just wasn't paying much attention

Anyway, new springs should be on there way soon ish. Phil even offered to fit them for free but hes 144 miles away, 1 way lol soo yeh.

Friday (payday) ill be getting my new rad, TCA's and top mounts. Possibly a few other bits and bobs. Also the satin black paint

Making a start on the interior also.

My speaker pods are going to be awesome! Just not sure if they will be done for poloshow :(

My speaker pods are going to be awesome! Just not sure if they will be done for poloshow :(

Seeing is believeing, I'm holding my breath atm but i dont honestly know,they could be awsome...

My lips are sealed atm anyways...ebay and random tat is our friend!

Holla if need a hand

You work gay days!

If my springs arrive before Sunday I wanna do the suspension again this Sunday!

Also I need lifts on Friday

Halfords for satin black paint, Church road to get midbox sorted and GSF for TCA's, top mounts and radiator

Then I've got work at 2, sad times :(

Sooo, nothing went to plan due to rain.

BUT, today things started to happen again

Springs arrived on sat. and bought some bits today :p

Got my satin black paint (after reserving 2 cans online, getting to halfords and they hadn't bothered to keep um, only 1 left ) But the 1 can just about did everything.

the loon got a puncture up front so decided to swap it to the back due to it being a pig to steer!

After having the front up it went into monster truck mode! and it wouldnt go back down Positive camber ftl.

Few randoms of it at 70mm up front. soon to be 90 though

And the door pods before I work my magic on them :p

Suspension has to be done this weekend or poloshow will be a no go :(

Someone please help me? lol!

I'll save you!!!

PM me your address and number Tobes :-D

Legend Jon!!

haha fair enough!

Does sound awfully like mine is to be

what are the rocco seats like in it? I hear you can barely get to the handbrake?

nah there fine! way better than gt seats, comfier and more bucketed

Toby if you are DoorPods come out alrite, u can do mine as payback for doing you are Springs :p

lol... I didn't make these myself, i bought them as they are.

Just with a few bits that aren't needed (slots for leccy window switches) which left a gaping hole by the speaker

Sooo, a portion of a shelf from my shed, a big tub of PVA and a broken coping saw blade later they looked like this

Annndddddddd... The ally cats arrived today, in way better condition than i expected

No kerbing what so ever!

Went to tax the car today too... but i took my tax reminder and they said no.. cus it was out of date

Needed my logbook instead. Sooo ill walk up to the postoffice again tomorrow Got some stuff posted though, so all is good :)

Got some stuff posted though, so all is good :)

ahah i duno why, that just made me laugh.

car's looking real nice man. bit of a random question now but hey, what kinda black would you advise for respraying the grill? that satin looks pretty nice but not sure if it would look right :/ cheers

Not sure tbh corey

I'm thinking of giving the hella grill a lick of paint, I would be using the same stuff as I have used on all the bits n bobs. the finish is real nice.

Got some more stuff on it yesterday, and I have my leccy windows wired up again

Weather is meant to be ace for tomorrow :D So hopefully we wont all get wet when doing the suspension haha.

As ever coming along great, respect for all the work you've put into this.

I have seen 6J wellers like these before but not established what offset they are?. I'm sure with being 6J they will be perfect for your coupe. I just think there's been too many instances of things like silly offset 7J and 8J's poking way too much. Not a fan of arch work unless it's for racing or if it's done in an undetectable way without completely ruining the lines of the car.

Woooooop!!!

Day of much excitement!

Car is back on the road!!!!!

And the pikey fix on the new radiator.

Get the last remaining interior bits done tomorrow and hopefully get the rocco seats in (if it doesn't rain)

You know i love this car dude Looks really good now its sitting nicely, whats happened to the hella grill though! :(

Will be back. just need to have a tat as one of the lights are loose.

Was kinda a rush to get it back on the road n get to dans

Broke the clip on my rear badge too, sad times :(

well done mate....shes looking good!! Any chance that the cats are going to be on the beaut for the polo show?

No chance haha. they are going to take ages to re-furb plus I cant afford tyres for them until next pay day.

Tried them on yesterday, need spacers to clear the callipers

Going to service it all before poloshow if i can afford it. need to get the tracking done too.

looking fantastic matey , you gonna be a poloshow ??

Yep

well done toby! looks awesome! paintwork looks class too pics dont do it justice many pub sacrifices paid off

Everybody keeps saying that you know.

Covered in dust, need to give it a dam good clean.
