Am I the only one who liked the camo? :P

I do like the direction this i going though

Yes, I think you are! :help:

I remember when I saw the ad for this and cringed at the vents lol. That was going to be one of my first jobs along with removing the camo until you got there first! [emoji6]

Yeah, there's so much that needs reverting to standard it's frustrating!

Door cards covered in terrible blue camo cloth - with the factory material removed! Madness. I will be rocking au naturale door cards and a parcel shelf for the time being...

  • So the car arrived yesterday, the recovery bloke dumped it on my neighbours parking space which meant I had to dash home from work and move it in order to keep the peace! Here she is this morning. Lo

Scirocco GT2 front seats sourced and being collected this week!

Bit annoyed that I can't get Genesis coupe/breadvan items to match the rears, being saloon specific though.

The Polo has been at my Brothers' a week, he's been removing the camo for me which is pretty cool! He's tasked me with getting some paint mixed in order to freshen her up. There may be a bit of patina here and there but no camo, and I think she'll look like the genuine 30 year old car that she is!

Excited to see it without the Camo dude :)

Been pretty slack with this of late - anyway...

 

New windscreen purchased from Gary aka UJA on here

Flexi & rest of exhaust fitted

 

I need to fit TCA's ASAP and adjust the linkage again and I think it will be worthy to be sent for an MOT to see what the next steps are.

Had the day off last Friday to do a few jobs on the Polo.

 

Fitted new TCA's as the old ones were goosed. 

Fitted new discs and pads, however the passenger-side caliper appeared to be stuck in a position that matched the same thickness as the old pads and wouldn't allow me to refit, in my haste I managed to pop the piston out by accident! I'm a newbie to brakes so I will need to refit the piston and bleed the brakes etc.

 

Next up is rear wheel bearings as one had an advisory on its last MOT - may as well replace them as they're cheap enough!
