Well I swapped the 14's for some 13's the other week. (cheers robodredd) Gave em a refurb and a fresh lick o shiny paint.

Shes low....... but she looks how I wanted now.... still got a few wiring niggles to sort out just the stereo, interior light, cigarette lighter. Probably a fuse but I have found some suspect wiring, which I'll sort out soon.

Well last week I was supposed to pick a new gear box up but the seller went quiet ? ?, so I had a look at sorting out some tunes and found a few dodgy wires here and there so I decided to take the dash out to get to them.
For some reason the illumination wire for the ash tray and cigarete lighter which comes from the light switch had some nasty burning along its whole length which I think was due to an oversize fuse that the previous owners must have put in, TUT TUT.
so I pulled another wire through, re-wired the stereo pos and neg, rewired the illumination lamps for the cigarette lighter and ash tray, and also fixed the small light over the passenger seat.
Also took out the old 80's speakers that were sitting on the parcel shelf, hopefully i'm gonna rig some 6x9's up underneath the parcel self somehow in the metal grid ? I wanna hear them but not see them.

I have also sourced a 16v kr engine for the bargain price of £200 with a measely low 120k on the clock so thats gonna be keeping me busy cleaning painting and installing over the winter period.

Hopefully gonna be at deva next weekend, come say hello Look out for the big hair and big chops

Got a nice recent ish pic from deva



Since the photo was taken the number plate surrounds have been binned (never liked em,to much detail) New slimline mirrors, also just picked up some genuine door handle seals all round.
Also started to strip the 16valver down for paint and new belts and all that jazz, more photos to come when I have something more worthy than oily rags, I have a mk1 GTI which wil be donating it gear box. and mocal oil cooler. as well as some othe bits and bobs.
