My Black Sportline - Update on my sold car :-)

Keep up the good work Chris.  By the way do you happen to have a spare strut top cap?
I didn't bother with a spread sheet. I just left all my receipts in a pile in the garage. My wife thinks there must be some missing  to which I replied "of course not dear".

I don't Greig, just the 3 sets got the 2 cars.

My spreadsheet might lose a page or two as well.

Where did you get them then?

ebay from the Greek guy but its £5 postage per item but if u but a few things together and u still only pay £5 postage.

vw classic parts in Germany do them as well I think ?

Just got the side trims from CQ's for the Sportline but not amused as they are narrow ones, nothing like the originals !!!

They will be getting sent back on Monday for a refund.

What's disappointing is the description on their website not stating the difference.

I contacted them and they might change the wording now but not the happiest bunny :-(

So what's the best way to tart my originals up ??

Spray them ??

The wee car is safely deposited at the garage for tomorrow's works.

I'm in the sun enjoying a pint of Peroni :-)

Cars in the garage until Monday.

Its solid underneath and the only thing was a missing C clamp for the exhaust.

They still have to change the manifold gasket, change the oil and filter and starter motor but its all good :-)

Good news, always great to get a clean bill of health on a new motor  

Good news Chris. Time to kick back and enjoy the weather and top up the tan.

Thanks boys and been at a show all day today with my red car, it was great !!

Enjoy the best summer I can remember :-)

Sraying side trims dont look great mate, have you got some autoglym rubber dressing, good wipe over with that a few times works well

Thought so Rich and they ain't to bad anyway :-)

One of the lads wants to buy the new ones I just bought so saves sending them back.

Just hoping the garage bill isn't to big once they have sorted it all.

Then bodyshops for some prices.

You can afford it Chris

Its all hard earned Smudger me lad :-)

Scaffolding isn't a walk in the park !!

My new Sportline side decals and arch protectors arrived this morning, as well as seat runners.

Jack/toolkit set came today as well.

Still waiting to hear from the garage to get my car back.

New rev counter came today from mike-turbo, what a gent :-)

Well the garage phoned and much as expected and told to me by the previous owner, the car needs a new manifold and front downpipe.

So new gaskets ordered and funk-star is sending me the manifold, downpipe, sealing ring and 2 clamps.

So once they arrive I can get them down to the garage for fitting.

Only 2 deliveries today :-(

Cleaning products for the mohair hood and black bits and a pack of side sill trim clips.
