a mk1 rebuilt to the finest detail, replated bits, absolutely mint.
I'm looking for a thread on here maybe five years or more old, it was a mk1 rebuild and the owner was using new parts or making every single bit as good as new with refinishing or re-plating.
It was an absolutely mint build.
The reason? Aside from never seeing it finished, he used some product to clean alloy casings that seemed to get rid of every single blemish - it wasn't a polish and it was called something like crystalbrite or something nothing like that!
Anyone got a memory that's slightly better than mine (about 16K with no retention after sleep mode)
Cheers!

Nope not that one - it was far more in depth than that one.
The whole lot was stripped, pieced together in what seemed to be a very clean workshop with lots of pictures of seemingly every single bit fitted
I did have a message from the owner at the time - but that seems to be long gone (not been on here a while since falling out with my mk1 and ditching all my vw stuff)

Now that sounds familiar…. can't find anything though. (not used to this forum software - I needed a search to actually find the search and even then I can not search members???)
The only thread I found was this one

Really can't be sure but probably tintop, the only portion of the thread I remember was the painstaking engine rebuild.
I've a nagging doubt the thread may even have been linked from here - god, my memory is appalling!

There is no other forum? Go wash your mouth out.
I'm pretty sure it was on here, could be 7+years ago.
