:D

I think i succeeded in making whats normally a plain set of wheels into something a little special :)

I'm really happy with how they turned out, cant see the orange much but from certain angles it catches your eye, which was exactly the intention.

Loving them mate, Looking forward to giving this a good look around when were at action.

What tyres are they BTW?

Pic of the beast from the weekend at VW action in the daily show n shine (that was full of blatant show cars that all won, that clearly only ever see a road when it comes to a show)

And, one of my orange top mount covers went walkies, either fell off or got robbed by some thieving scum whilst in the show n shine.

and a shinny 4 branch

apart from that, jobs a good un tobes!

Tidy!

The automotive equivalent of wearing fishnet stockings and suspenders! Love it!

mk3 polo and BBS RA's just works so well. Major fan of this. High five.

Great choice in colour for the wheels, my other half had the backs oh his porker cookie cutters in the same colour... subtle from the fronts.... love it!

Nice GT badge too... custom or proper stuff??

And where do you get the GT engine covers from.... really like the look of your bay.. nice n tidy with that cover :)

Cheers :D

The GT badge is a MK3 GT badge cut in half.

I bought it off a mate, went over to the car and thought 'oh bollocks, spot lights are in the way' :lol:

Figured there had to be a way to make it fit, and thats what i came up with.

The cover is off a 6n, with a GT badge stuck ontop of the '1.0' or whatever it is underneath. Mine came with the engine conversion so not sure exactly what car its off.

You need the brackets off a 6n too as thats what it mounts to (the hook things u use when lifting the engine)

Thought it was custom, think vw should have had you designing the badges coz it looks much more retro!

Hmmm ok cool..... might be going to the scrappy this wknd and there are always loads of 6ns in there... might just have a looksy... thanks! ;)

Went out in it today and something didnt sound quite right coming from the front suspension area.

Bearing in mind, I've had an odd clunking noise for the past like 700 miles when i braked, and it had started pulling to the left not long after having the tracking done...

Checked stuff ages ago and thought hmm, figure it out another time as nothing obv was loose. Well how wrong was i.

Looked at it today and erm yeh, the nut on the end of the ARB was about 2 turns before falling off. How the fuck i missed it the 1st time i checked i dont know haha. But its done loads of miles on a loose arb, Its done cat n fiddle and snake pass, its done action, then its done peak district again the other day. Fail!!!

Anyway, some new bits :)

Rear strut brace

And yesterday, tatting with my mates MGB

DSC00572-2.jpg

I think..... i possibly need a new master cylinder, and a copper brake line to the drivers side front caliper. Also somethings up with the rears, makes some odd noises (banging noises) when i drive with the handbrake on a bit, and it doesnt feel right when i pull the handbrake up, its also shit and still moves unless you really pull it hard.

So, Good look at the brakes is due when i can be bothered me thinks, and a bit of money spent on it again :mad:

Need to stop the exhaust from hitting the body too, annoying to buggery.

love it

cant help thinking it needs abit more girth out back :)

So when we went out for a blast last week in the pitch black at that meet, Your ARB was basically hanging off lol?? Great!

Looking good mate, will hopefully have a gander when I pop up to Wolverhampton for the day!
