Looks good chap! love the simple oem styling!

Thanks dude :-)

Not sure what to do to it next after i space the rears to be honest. There's a big fat scratch on the passenger side rear quarter that is getting sorted in the next couple of weeks as well as a good machine polish all over to get rid of all the swirls/ defects.

Was thinking about putting a Corrado rear bench in to match the fronts... I've heard it's not difficult!

Anyone news on the rado rears dude? Been offered a full set for a snatch but he won't split.

I looked into it and found out it wasn't actually as easy as I was first told! However, a friend of mine just bought a full Corrado interior and is planning on fitting the rear seats.. so i will be back with a report when he has finished it haha.

Just bought some mk1 golf hubs/ coilovers/ vented discs/ VW11 calipers... upgrades soon :-)

Want the above list tbh.

I have half, the brakes side of things, where you get the hubs n coilies from? its odd but i cant find any 2nd hand coilies for shit

I just won the calipers/discs/hubs on ebay for 40 quid... winning Nobody else even bidded!

nice person!

I just bought some VW11's that are fucked.

Add said they were powdercoated, and he wasnt wrong... nipples, rubbers, sliders, the lot.. powdercoated

Need all new rubbers n seals, and now have one snapped nipple.. Great :anger:

Hahaha, sounds shit!

Can't wait to get back to uni now and machine up some steering arms! Been meaning to do it for aaageess

oh yeah and dont wanna piss on your bonfire anymore but just managed to get two outer cv joints for 12 quid... they're meant to be 40 each

Bastard!

Machine me some arms up too yeah.. Saves me having to get bare struts to chop up

Let me know how much you want...

oo oo oo, what size tyres are you looking at getting on the psluts?

I'm finding it a nightmare finding a decent looking size for 14x6's :(

195/45/14 eventually mate! I'm enjoying the lack of grip of the 155/55/14's at the moment though, lift off oversteer

Thats the conclusion id come to, but people say its a bit big.

I dunno though... probs will get them in the end.

195/45 on a 6j is fine, looks pretty good. Nice and flat.

You can buy them here mate:

I'm running 195/45/14's on my Rials(6J), they're Falken i think from camskill.com

Second set I've had, and always found them a very good tyre for the money, I tried Uniroyals but didnt like them as much

Paypal takes minutes to setup mate! Do it

On another note... getting a set of mk1 coilies, hubs, gti brakes and vented discs has cost me a total of £110. WHY ON EARTH would anyone want shock and spring kits anymore!

Thought I should update this since I've been doing some more purchasing!

Finally got some 20mm spacers for the back.

Bought some new wheels

Got my coilover setup sorted (waiting on coilies to be delivered - last set got lost in the post after waiting two months for them to come through! )

That lot will be going on at Christmas along with some other goodies!

And a shot of it in the car park at my flat

What wheels u going for or is it all a secret ?

Nah it's not a secret I'm not gay like Toby Bradshaw

Mattig SSFs with 165/55/13's, Some of you may think I'm mad but they will work well, trust me

They aren't going on till the Coilovers are on too so I can get it sitting bang on! No RR or silly arch gap on 13s here

Only problem is that at the moment they're bright pink, gonna need a respray before they go anywhere near the car haha.

Plan in the long term is sell both sets of wheels and get some RM's!

15's are too big :( (RM's)

15's arent too big, all depends on fitment and being able to adjust the suspension.

I want some 15's as winters, pure tuck..

15's are Ideal! There's a photo of a white G40 on RM's floating around... sits bang on (well, almost )

Nah will be waiting till I get home for Christmas, then I'll have some actual space to work on the car! Just need to get some new wheel bearings, nipples/seals for my new brakes too.

I dunno what Colour to paint the wheels though, ideas? There's an Indian red Gt on chocolate brown colour Mattig SSF's that looks dope but I don't wanna out an out copy that!

Nah serious it's like, bright pink, they were on a girl's lupo!

Yeah I think you're right to be honest, a standard grey/ gunmetal should do it.

Also toying with the idea of buying two 7" standard wellers for the rear... Theres a black GT with that setup and its rude!

But you have to be low to tuck Toby.....

You never get bored do you? I did a looong time ago....
