Jason

Ha, thanks man :-)

Dropped the front some more, looks a lot better now.

Just need to get the back down some more next.

Also got new brake pads to fix next week, and should be sorting the interior some more soon hopefully.

Just asked about it.

Got it for £70 new from halfords apparently.

It's only been used twice and we don't need it anymore, he says you can have it for £50 if you want lol.

:lol:

Nah I'm gonna just get rid of them, try sell them if anyone wants them.

They don't sound good at all anyways as they are just held in a crappy parcel shelf, plus I can't even hear them in the front of the car, and theres a sub straight under them lol, I can't wait to get them out of there.

Yeah vw grill is definitely staying now :D

Arch gap will be removed once I put camber shims in and finish school and no longer have to give people lifts lol.

Took the drum off today to have a quick look at what I had to do

I see the four bolts at the back, but they are covered.

So I guess I have to take all the brake shoes and everything off to get to them?

Also I put this on today for fun while I sprayed my badge :D

so if that cover was anything like the one on mine was then yes it makes it a lot easier to get that cover off if all the shoes are out. then just got the biggest flat head screw driver we could find and levered it off, took some doing though mind

Alright cheers mate, I just need to find the time to do them now, hopefully I'll get them done next week!

Any who I have been working on the car this weekend.

My drivers window handle snapped on me on friday, (and the passenger window snapped on me about 6 months ago lol)

So I was left with no windows...

Went to the scrapyard and managed to get two working window mechs from another polo, fitted them straight after with no problems really :rolleyes:

While I was at the scrapyard I managed to also get the gear stick surround and rear ash tray from a mk3 golf centre console as I was missing these for mine :D

bits5.jpg

I also painted the inside of my front vw badge red which I am really happy with.

bits1.jpg

and finally...more lows and ghetto arch rolling as usual :p

The front's have got some camber on them now from lowering I think...

Lovely :)

Looking good mate done rear camber yet?!!!

looks so nice only thing i would do is get a lower front splitter e.g renault laguna and ge the rear down some more with some camber but your already doing that haha

Looking awesome bud :) like the mk3 golf surround!

Also like to see that your board is in your car :thumbsup:

You can change the camber on the fronts cause the holes where you bolt the hub to the strut are elongated. Looks wicked though buddy, its come a long way!!

Thanks dude, yeah I haven't changed the camber on the fronts myself, It's just done it itself from lowering lol.
