What did you do to your MK1 today?

Started the day off with the Clipper on axle stands 8O  painted the drums etc and calipers bled the brakes (well I did the leg work on the pedal) :roll:
and got it back on 4 wheels

and boy does it look the part. get it on the tatton park stand fella.

I thought about it.    Then I thought about it with a 300bhp 20VT conversion.    Then I thought about my mortgage.  

Timing belt and tensioner, started putting engine back together, then realised its mothers day tomorrow and i had'nt got anything and packed everything away.  

fitted new speedo cable  

Gave it a good old thrashing down the M54... :wink: and tried to fix the heater....comes on when i go over a bump!?? :dontknow:

Went for a good 50 mile run on the A614 wicked

look at,   dreamed about,   

oh and changed 2 tyres.

Eventually got the middle box off to see where it was blowing from only
to find I need a new one :cry:  :cry:

Nothing as such to the car, but put a deposit yesterday on a 1981 GTI and today put the GX up for sale, sad about the GX, but can't wait for my GTI to arrive    

Fitted new steering wheel and headlight upgrade kit

Stripped the engine I took out the other day and bought parts for the engine rebuild… then cried all over the ?270 invoice!!!  I'll be cleaning gunk off of all the parts all day tomorrow  :cry:

nice one spud

Cheers Dean… I'll put a build thread together when I'm done…!!

cleaned bird poo off it, and changed brake pads

Cleaned it a bit & left it in the Rain to get cleaned automatically  :mrgreen:

Hoovered it & pumped up the tyres. Gonna fill it up later at Tesco with '99' if it stays dry!  :?

Currently degreasing the block using multiple coats of engine cleaner.  Spent ages with a screw driver removing the big build up all over the engine.  

Took a lot of Persil to get that crap off of my hands… my niece calls it "ouch-y powder" because any time she see's me washing my hands with it I sound like a monkey… "Ooooh Ahhhh Ohhhh Ouch"… getting it in cuts stings like a mouth full of nettles!!!

What's Tufanega… Is it Arnold Swartzenegar's brother… only tougher?

Or you could get some surgical gloves from the pharmacy for cheap, they won't get in your way
