Well I aint been on here much recently due to family issues.

Finally got the golf home today (considering it was ready weeks ago)

Really happy with the end result.

I was going to take some proper photos but the weather turned against me so I just took a few with my phone.

Im hopefully having the rear hood cable replaced on friday as mine snapped.

Then sometime next month its having a full detail to get the paintwork 100%.

Also started to strip the interior out so I can soundproof the inside aswell as give it a full valet.

Excuse the phone pics.
