Ah, i've been doing fuck all today. Would have come and seen it if i'd have known you were messing with it!

Has that worked? Still leaking or not?

  • Author

yeah good job, going the garage to get the head gasket changed on wed so we'll be running strong!

Should be good to go after wednesday fella.

How was the coolant level when you got back, did it dip at all?

  • Author

it had dipped slightly, but not much, waiting till today because it had pressurised

  • Author

car went into the garage wednesday and we now have a fresh head gasket, more new oil and another filter change , :retard: , anyway my petrol cap had rusted and bubbled quite badly, really odd because there is no rust around the filler cap on the bidy work what so ever. Stripped it today and going to repaint,

just needs lacquering. The colour the company sent me did not match the car and had not been mixed correctly so i just stook with the primer colour. Matches the car better anyway. but most importantly its all rust free!

its still wet in the photo btw

got a mk4 rocker cover, got as much of the gunk off as i could, stripped it ready for painting. Plans are that the middle band on the top will be polished, the rest black with red pinstripes running down the side of the polished middle.

that van is sweeet

Love this!

Where did you get the Steering Wheel From!?

Adam

What boss kit did you get? And do all mountney boos kits fit all off there steering wheels?

  • Author

its a mountney boss kit, and i presume they fit all the standard aftermarket wheels, i know they dome some 3 bolt wheels that take other bosses, but 99% of the wheels you buy will fit

Loving this car, one of my fave Mk3 Coupes, just got a nice motorsport vibe to it 8-)

  • Author

cheers, it will be getting another motorsport dose soon when the strut braces are fitted and the battery cut off
