anyone going to be working on the car at xmas or are you going to get bladdered?

I'm fortunate enough to have 2 weeks off and plan to fix the front end knocking noise on GTI along with visiting family and eating and drinking too much.

both!!!!!!

got loads to do over xmas

new springs and shock new wheels

gotta get a 1 awkward locking wheel nut off before all that happens

perfect xmas!!!

Im going to drag mine out of the garage and see if it still starts ops:
work & other distractions means its been sitting for a while.

Dib.

I'm hoping santa will bring me a new exhaust mid section, an oil filter and a few gallons of oil for the Audi. The only other time ill be visiting my garage will be to get more beer!

Both mate, I've some engine tidying to do, wheels to refurb and loads of JD to drink.

hoping to put my 20vt engine back together and in the car over christmas and get very drunk

foxy

I've got shed loads to do to get mine back on the road but unlike you guy's I've only got Xmas day off so looks like it'll be waiting till after the new year

I'm off thurs fri and mon. Then xmas day and the following monday.

Then new years day.

However I still plan on working on Diane over the next few nights/weekends!

Coilovers, new rims, brake light clusters, exhaust, gear shift repair kit, Indicator lenses, centre console + guages.

I'm going to be a very busy boy hopefully

I'm gonna make some space in the workshop and start drilling 1,000,000 spot welds out…

only have a couple days off as i work for a family of plymouth bretherens so don't get much time off over xmas.
But will try and get a few bits done with my bottles of kronenbourg within easy reach  

Probably at some point, got a few little jobs that need doing.

What are you up to Ray? Sorting the rear quarter?

I'm going to be working on the Golf when possible, only got Xmas day, Monday & New Year's day off. Need to remove the remaining section of the mk1 tunnel, and weld the Rallye Golf one in…,

I'll be trying to work out where to cut the roof off the tintop for the replacement I can't get anyone to do while the missus is on all fours…… back home hoovering the stairs.. :?
