Ken, find it impossible to keep my car clean, especially living out the way a bit. Just doesn't happen for me ): plus the dirt hides some of the scratches.

yeah man totally understand where you are coming from! round trip to my work is about 28 miles so i'd have to wash it every day of i wasnt 12 hour shifts... but i just do it on my days off as i work a funky shift pattern so the longest it will go without a wash is 3 days max lol

haha cheers guys the bonnet is going anyways, back to std bonnet for me as I'm changing the look again! lol

not updated this for a good while it seems! not to much been going on with her... off the road since the end of november until further notice as she goes into a lock up for a major re-haul at the end of this month for how ever long it takes (hopefully be finished for edition!) fingers crossed eh!

SAM_0158.jpg

bought some BBS RS's for her they need refurbed but thats the reason i got them so i can make them my own again like the keskins... also got them at a bargin price! :wub:

shes not been cleaned for a few months (3-4) and been off the road for 3 months so i thought i'd treat her to a good wash,polish and wax! so 6-7 hours of hard graft later here she is...

167356_10150358108925261_586565260_16754

so once i get her into the lock up my plans are:

*take the engine out along with wiring etc (pretty much an empty bay) get some bits in the bay smoothed and resprayed!

*remove everything from the underside of the car subframe, rear axle, brake lines etc etc and underseal the whole thing! (arches aswell)

* replace all brake lines

*powder coat everything removed from the underside subframe, axle mounts, wishbones, exhaust brakets etc already got another rear axle done and polybushed :ph34r: looks mint! think i already have a pic of it on this thread!

*little bits and bobs inside the car

*get stone chips touched up along with rear shortend number plate recess and a std bonnet!

*replace all bearings

*lupo gti rear disc conversion

ah theres just so much i will be doing to be honest... heres the thing that really makes me grin tho...
