Love this car and glad to hear it's back on the road.  

Thanks mate. Nearly there.

I think the gearbox issues was just worn out.

Finally got around to attacking the underside and removing the peeling raptor from underneath.

Came of rather too easily. My own fault for not wanting to remove the original VW stuff from the car. Still all off and re-coated with the traditional wayoyll. As we all know it goes everywhere and sticks to everything! The good news was that i found no rot under the car at all, as I was expecting tbh.

Have some pics.



The exhaust rubbers had perished so they also got replaced, which is a bit of a pain when the exhaust fits as 'exactly' as mine does. Takes a bit of finagling to make sure nothing catches. Still another fiddly, annoying job completed.  

As I was getting Mynx ready for a show I also had a tidy up in the bay.
Rockers now match the brakes    and adds a well needed splash of colour too  



Couple more pics, just because!



Don't forget Mynx is also for sale!

Hope you enjoy the update

Cheers
