What!!? Who was this with if you don't mind me asking??

that was with Peter Taylor/Bishop Calway..found out today that I can actually add my other half on there too FOC ! 01273 329307..spoke to a woman called Judy..very helpful  

Thank you kindly, will call this weekend as mines up middle of Fe b 

Fitted fuel tank, also fitted a new pump and accumulator and associated brackets. Got new fuel lines fettled up too. Give it a quick wipe over too. 

Wow, that looks great Spen  

Have you seen the thread about having a display of silver MK1's at the AGM this year?  

Started gathering all the bits together that I plan on fitting in about a week;
Hood pivot covers, chrome window winders, chrome door pulls. Hood release handles, black lining and vinyl for renovating the boot of the cabby, filler neck replacement, exhaust manifold and down pipe change, armour plates, gear linkages, the list seems endless, oh and a new set of seats.

Cheers Hairyarse ! Unfortunately that's her most flattering angle! There's some work to be done before she's display worthy! Will have a read though. I'm watching your resto with interest, very impressive!

Cheers chap, decent of you

I'm sure yours will have no issue sitting on the display, it's a MK1 and it's silver - that's the only criteria  

Tightened mirror bolt (Chrome Mirrors) as they kept moving in high winds / high speeds etc… Hopefully I've adjusted enough for them to hold now.

Checked coolant and Oil (Again)

Hoovered the car before it starting raining (Again)

If it's nice tomorrow I'm hoping to get out and try and adjust the door that's dropped a little 

Fitted GTI brakes up front to my CL
 Cleaned out all the poop in my door and boot shuts
Nipped up all the loose nuts and bolts in and around the car
Washed it,  polished it,  waxed it and trial fitted a froends D90 wheels in the hope my ebay stuff sells

Managed to strip the interior knee bar, door cards etc... Ready for new alarm, immobiliser and other goodies : )

Getting the Engine Room painted before the rest of the car.

Insured my first ever mk1 golf!!

Today I've done nothing and it's made me sad

Have left Clipper at mother-in-laws in Selsey over the winter while I work on the Young Line at home. Going down there to make sure he is all tucked up and snug after the storms! Ordering clear spots for the Sport Line in Spain today…..well spring is just round the corner!!  

Fixed remote central locking - Wire had come loose! Rewired in drivers side courtesy switch - All lights now working Replaced damaged rear indicator bulb - Re-installed stereo after full strip down for alarm install - Replaced damaged bolster patch from duck tape to a glued on colour matched patch - Then got upset because the weather is pants and I can't drive it !!

Fitted new powder coated wiper arms and new headlight loom, only small problem is the battery is dead so thats now on charge, otherwise I'd be out right now with the roof down enjoying the first bit of sun I've seen in weeks.

Sorry 'Fathammer' did you say "sun"?
I don't know what your smoking but I'll have a packet, "sun"!  

Ah I get it now, National Geographic, turn the telly off.  

Definitely been a cracking weekend, finally took her out of hibernation and sorted the height adjustment on the TT seats that I'd been meaning to do for long enough (had to take seats out, stand on and rock backwards and forwards but worked a treat) and since managed to get that fixed removed the Momo Nero steering wheel and fitted a nice larger more in keeping with a 30 year old car Italvolanti wheel… then went for a blast.  Great fun…
