Wheels on TODAY yeah??

Would have been if it didn't tip it down with rain :'(

However coilover modding is going to have to happen first ;d

Will update soon.

Right, so today i've managed to remove the snapped wheel bolt from the hub and re-fit my old front coilovers due to the Ta Technix ones supplied by PhilJ being shite (thread fucked on left one).

Have removed the helpers of the front JOM coilovers and cut the bumpstops down ;)

Although there is a knocking and creaking coming from the left side, so i'm going to have to re-strip it down monday and investigate. I have a feeling the top mount bolt might not be fully tigtened....OR I might have missed something out of the setup! (Rush before I had work :lol:)

Anyway, sneak peek that a mate took:

(Height set for my standard valver alloys)

So hopefully, should have it all sorted by monday, tuesday at the latest! 8-)

Right, so I'm having to raise the front right 10mm as it's hitting the driveshaft :( Arb is also pulling on the drop links as it is fouling the chassis!

Anyway...

Rear helpers need to come out too. Gonna look into getting a chassis notch at somepoint and drop links and rubbers replaced!

Will play around with heights etc and actually give it a clean and get some proper pictures soon!

So today I helped a mate put his polo back to standard as he's bought a mk2 Scirocco!

I've also sold my rear coilovers and got them packaged up ready to send early morning!

So the carpet's been back in for 24 hours...and is already soaked......Fucking open air roof, why did I think this was a good idea?!

Need to strip out the headlining and go around sealing everything up. Also need a new roof :doubt:
