time and elbow grease :)

Looks incredible 8-) What do you think about fitting a mk1 golf top fill radiator to get rid of your expansion tank? Would tidy up the bay a treat!

i have one of those at home...

but i wasnt sure what to do with the hose that connects from the expansion tank to the thermostat housing, should i just block it off?

Yup - I've done that. you can get alloy blanking plugs on eBay.

Lose the washer bottle in the boot as well :thumbsup:

Do you mean use the washer bottle in the boot for the front screen, and chuck the washer bottle from the bay?

Because if so, I agree :lol: :-D

I did that in my mk1 Golf, just ran a hose from the rear bottle through the cabin into the bay and up to the washer jet :thumbsup:

Unfortunately saloons don't actually have a bottle in the boot......as they don't have a rear washer or wiper. However, one from an early spec Mk2 may fit.

I did originally think that yeah :lol: But thought I must be wrong when I read louisV6 reply. I'm guessing he probably meant relocate the washer bottle to the boot then :thumbsup:

Well yesterday i thought i would take apart my front coilovers and remove some extra bits that wernt really needed and I've managed to get down another 10mm :)

I also fitted my matching rear coilovers which are definetly softer than the previous efforts :)

Proper pics to come soon. But in the mean time heres a cheeky shot of how it looks coming off my drive now :)

Nope - Saloons don't have rear washer bottles.

You can nab a bottle from a bready and sling it in the back though. This is how it's mounted in mine if it helps:
