New wishbones, poly bushes, track rods, track rod ends, koni ssk top adjustables (lowered 40mm), audi 80 calipers, 16v discs, pads & servo and passat 22.2 master cylinder are all due to go on. The rest is going to be pretty standard apart from a tsr pack a head & kent gs2 cam.
Spent the last week wrestling with 25 years worth of rusted nuts & bolts

woZa - the front and back bumper need changing to bring the car back to orginal spec.

What sort should I be looking at? Didn't realise they weren't original spec…

Never driven a soft top but the tin top is great fun to drive. Tight & responsive & agile… Yeah, the guy who came up with the word dyslexia was taking the p**s!

Guess I'll leave the pin stripes for now. Maybe change them when I get around to the bodywork…

Rear Koni SSK with poly bushes…

Braided hoses all round - the rear offside was a real b******d to get at
![:banghead:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images_custom/ocf_emoticons__BangHead.gif)
Nearly ready for it's MOT. Just waiting for some rear wheel cylinders and bearings to arrive. Get them fitted, bleed the brakes and it should be ready to use
![:D](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/grin.png)
Then onto the engine. Got a pack A head, gs2 cam, new water pump & sump to go on. Going to give the oil pump a good clean up while that is off. Then finally get the body work tidied up. Not found any structural rust… yet…

Looks very good though, even with the Arrows on, although I'd change them if it were mine.
Good luck with the resto…

Arrows are coming off, oz racing going on. Can't remember the name of them though!
Checked all the electircs ready for MOT and seem to be ok. Only thing is the rear lights dim slightly when the indicator flashes. Checked the earth point in the boot and filed paint away for good contact but no differrence. Seems very slight though. Hopefully not a failure problem???
