On a serious note, damp polish cloth dabbed in compound, and horizontal movements until the compounds disappears keeping it wet with a spray bottle.

I was pondering how best to improve the gloss on the wings and bottom of the front panel as it was quite dull out of the gun and polishing was out of the question with the textured surface from the stone chip.
I played around with the gun and realised I had the pressure too high and the paint was going on too dry.
I've decided to put another coat on the main part of the engine bay using my new found technique to aid the buff up. I only managed to polish one wing

Coming along nicely there chap.Hope to see it one day.How complicated is it looking on the wiring side there rich ,or will that be along way off?.![]()
The main loom conversion isn't too bad according to
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/ocf_avatars/pie100.png)
It's a standalone loom and has relays for the ecu / fuel pump and fan control / aux electric water pump. I think it's very simple to connect. Needs earth / power / fuel pump and starter connections
That should get the engine running.
The other complication is the rev counter.
I chose to get a diesel alternator with W+ terminal and a little box that converts the pulse from 4 pot to 6. I'm hoping John can assist with that wiring.
Later on I found there is a canbus thing I could've bought and used the original alternator. hey ho
Finally I need the water temp and oil pressure. for the instrument panel. John said I can use a sender from a later golf for oil pressure.
I'm hoping that is it,I'm sure John will say something if I've missed anything

Ha ha, I like to keep the content up to date, nothing worse than a stale thread plus it keeps me motivated.FXTURE said
Nice.Seems i get weekly notifications..From ground to the sump,Whats the mug height 4 inch ?And im guessing you will say it isnt yours..
At present it seems very low (about 4 inches) If you look at the coilovers in the pictures they are wound down quite a bit. I needed to wind them down to take the top mounts off but never wound them back up.
The top of the front panel is level with my knees so needs to come up a couple inches. I think I should have at least 5 - 6"'s which should be plenty? Sump guard overwise?
No comment on the cup
