Sad sad times.

Gonna be fixing up the car then selling it on.

Get in contact if youre interested?

Its been good fun.

Laters.

Shame! More and more low polos dieing! Only randall left! Jonnys isent daily and Toms a gay....

It is a daily homo!

Just the daily travels to work is 1 mile so i fixie it

so what your saying is that it isnt a daily

Exactly this, jonny, shup....

Finally sold the Grid v's this morning to a nice chap called luke, should take care of them. Handed over the cash and went straight to saveontyres and bought some part worns for the steels!!

Then popped over to eurocar parts to pick up quite a few things i had ordered which needed doing for the mot and a few things which could do with being replaced etc...!!

Tyres and goodies picked up and i thought ...heck why not. i want new tools.

so bought a new socket set while i was in the area :)

Got half way through things today and decided to call it a day due to work at 5pm.

will continue with everything else tomorrow when i have more time free.

after everything is fixed yeah i will be.

Another productive day today getting a few things done with the help of Joe and Mike.

New bottom ball joints, brake discs and pads, bleed the system and put in some new fluid, removed the rear/front camber and put the helpers back in on all corners and raised the car a little bit. Drives so much nicer now, just need to get the tracking done again.

Also bought a new Dashboard off ebay this morning which should be here wednesday so will be fitting that ASAP with the help of a few people hopefully!!!... but a few things coming together now, just gotta drain the sump and put 4L back in and change over the fuel filter then put it in for an MOT and hope it doesnt fail on anything stupid!!

Once it passes ill move onto the body work and start prepping and re-moulding arches.

Doing all this work is giving me doubts about selling the car... :confused:

contemplating keeping it and going oem+... but I'm not 100% sure yet.

Oh you guys

Ok, so my new dashboard arrived this morning.

Should be getting fitted over this weekend sometime!!

Lemme know how much of an arse it is to take the dash out man, i need to take mine out i've just been lazy.

I took my dash out to change my loom for my gti swap. I did it with the help of my Vw mechanic friend and some repair instructions from Vw. It's not too bad on the removal, just your standard million torx/screws/bolts holding everything in. You also need to take the scuttle panel and wiper motor etc out to get at a couple of bolt holding it in from the outside.

The refit is quite tricky as some bits need to be fitted before other and it's a ballache fitting bits which you then realise half an hour later need taken off again to get another bit in.....

All in all not too bad. Just take your time and remember where everything goes

Got my dashboard swapped today with the help of a mate.

Ripped out the old dash and it looked like this... got a little worried at this point.

4-5hours later...

Still a few electrical problems, stereo wont turn on and speedo clocks wont light up when lights engaged?

apart from that going to see my mate tomorrow to hopefully clear the airbag light! fingers crossed!!

Well i had a look through the latest PVW magazine this morning and saw this... Stoked beyond belief!!!

I'm surprised how well you have managed to sort your arches..... I like your style

hammer and patience lol

Can you leave the upper half of the centre console in to get it out? Muppet over here, smoothed the dash, in the car didn't he...

^^^^

load of bollocks, never done it before had dash out and new one in within 4hours on my own?

seriously so easy haha - just unbolting shit :/

on another note: just bought some new wheels

^^apologies. I'm just a retard

Picked these up tonight for a complete bargain!! e30 bbs, 15x7 et 25 with genuine centre caps

tyres are coming off and making way for new smaller ones and wheels getting lick of paint.

quick teaser of how it will look in a week or 2

Put the car in for MOT this morning fearing the worst.... (yes i was awake VERY early)

Came home from work to find it passed with only 1 advisory

HAPPY TIMES!!!.. also got a present through the other day!

Ha that advisory is brilliant!

haha nice one :)

My advisory was something like "Little suspension movement due to very low suspension" - plus that was raised

Upper centre console, can it stay in whilst removing the dash? i think i can probably get to the screws from the hole in the middle of it. Just need to know if I'm gonna have to resmooth my dash after i've taken it out...

Erm, i think it can stay in - although not 100% sure, it might be attached to something. cant remember though

sweet, that can be another job to go on the list for my day off then!

Just saw this on my Facebook

This is now sold, he has another lupo again now.
