What year is this new one ? Also wondered what happened to the yellow mk1 that you used the front wings off for the swallowtail rebuild - it looked quite tidy.
this is a y-reg gti. the wing i used on the swallowtail were from brought off "clarksmk1" swallowtail.

this will not rust for 100 years i rekon. how do those bags work? great work
3M Bag sealer = £14.50 per bag (cover 1ft x 1ft)
Its into 3 parts……."A", "B" & "C"
A - Internally tube
B - Sealer
C - Activator
You have to break the seal between C & B be squeezing, mix it up for about 5mins, then break the seal on A, (slowly) and shake gentle until the internal tube extends inside the bag. You will then need a Special 3M Gun, which you attach the bag and air line too, then spray away….as thick as you want. Allow it to dry and its paint-able. Hope this helps.

I'm tired of fixing one electrical fault to find another in a few weeks.
I'm thinking I have to replace the wiring.
Any advice on what sort of wire to use.
I know you get different sizes and resistances etc.
