Well not a massive update but an update non the less ![:P](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/cheeky.png)
the bay now look like this wooo…
taken what feels like forever to get it even to this stage and there is stilla heck of a lot that needs doing in the bay alone!
but finally all brackets, cips, battry trays and what not removed![:D](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/grin.png)
on the o/s there is a indentation in the inner arch, i assume this is for a pipe or something, Golf gt on here removed his and suggested i should do the same…. to a went mad with a big hammer and ttaaaa daaaa
although im not fully smoothing the bay (even tho i would love to) i think these little bits will make a world of difference
i also started cleabing and spraying the brackets and mounts
ingenious i think you'll agree![:P](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/cheeky.png)
and what better drying place
And only a fraction of the goodies mr postman brought this week,
mk kitchen table is stacked high with parcels now… and yet more is due :s
brake lines
fuel pump
and 2 gear knobs… not decided which i like best yet hehe
