Great work! Love the exhaust.
Is that a new brake fluid reservoir? Where did you get it… I need a new one!
Cheers, its a used one that I cleaned up but the one thats coming of the car is nearly immaculate so if I do that servo etc proffesionally I will have the better resevoir to go on it.
I never tried to find a new one but I have never seen one, maybe Vw still does them :dontknow:
Hows your build coming along ??

Mike you wouldnt want me to ruin your motor would you :redfaced:
Hope yours is coming alongI am sure it is. Just recently met a guy a few miles away with the same car as you in very good condition, he has started a thread on the projects forum, his name is DELBOY1975, check it out as I think he is going to improve his over the next wee while too?

Got the car its intermediate service today to keep its FSH and got my refurbed servo, master cylinder and brake linkage fitted. Obviously a brake fluid change needed at the same time, took a couple of pics and it looks decent, just need to clean the area around the brake linkage now to finish the bay off.

Now got to decide whether to get the sills, mirrors and dents painted and sorted OR get the new gearbox rebuilt and fitted ??

Chris - motor is looking pretty good… scrubs up well![]()
Like the addition of the 'sportline' baseball hat on the dash :wink:
Its interesting to look back at 20 years of motoring through the service history…
Thought you would like the cap :mrgreen:

After coming to a mutual agreement to cancel the deal on the white BBS ra's a few weeks back, I changed my mind and have re-bought them and hopefully they arrive by courier today :mrgreen:
They will not look as good as the originals but they will be good for a change and also for spares :wink:
I bought a set of mudflaps but on first inspection during the week, dont think they are going to fit properly
but they were only a tenner posted
and I will try them properly when the wheels are off while changing them for the white ones.
If the wheels arrive today I might put them on after my work and take some pics :dontknow:
Working Saturday and Sunday will pay for the wheels as well - so delighted :mrgreen:

Hi all, finally got my refurbed white BBS ra's and quickly put them on, unfortunately one has been chipped in transit and 1 of the tyres is leaking around the rim which I need to look into
:dontknow:
Some pics anyway, they certainly are different from the standard black wheels and I got the idea from StuFindlay who has the same car on the forum and when these wheels came up I thought they would be good for a change, hope you like them.

Looking good Chris.
I would run them as winter wheels and put the originals back on next summer.

Thats the idea, look after the original ones and scrub them up and polish them inside and out.
The leaking tyre is a strange one though, do you know what I need to do, do I just over inflate it to try and get a better seal ??

Could be leaking if the wheel is buckled.
Im no expert when it comes to that.
Going to a tyre place would be the best option.

Yes, Paul C said the same so I will take it and get it re sealed at the weekend hopefully

If that doesnt work the wheel looks straight so might have to think about new tyre, hopefully not though
