I've been working on it today. I'm doing the top mounts which has gone well so far.
I planned to have the outer CV joint off first to replace the boot and assess wear but couldn't get the nut off with the 30mm socket I have (kept slipping) so I've bought a proper hub nut socket with a hexagonal hole so it should grip better. I'll have another go when I refit the suspension tomorrow. Did spark plugs and have stripped the gear linkage also ready for new bushes.
Still got brakes to bleed. Cant see any leaks but the fluids on the minimum. Pads are almost warn right down which could explain it a bit.
I doubt it'll be ready for next weekend. I'd have to MOT it too. Still havent got the V5 through the post yet so wouldn't be able to tax it either!
Done much to your hatchback yet? Mines not been touched still :roll:

Well, how did it go today?
I refitted my shocks and then tackled the CV joint. The nut came off ok and luckily the joint was savable. I've got it all rebuilt but didn't have enough daylight to refit it. CV joints are one of the nastiest (well filthiest) jobs to do, glad its all over!
The gear linkage is all nice and clean ready for refitting too.
Hey, has anyone got a spare GTI radiator and/or cowl they could sell to me and perhaps pick up next weekend? The one fitted to the sportline must be off a 1.1!
Cheers,
Ross

sounds like you have been busy,i got a spare second hand radiator may have a cowl will have to have alook ,will let you know later this week.
Done a bit more on my hatchback ,yesterday i took out the side windows,sunroof and mechanism
Then removed the headlining ,and to my surprise the rust in the factory sunroof tray wasnt as bad as i was expecting,around the rear drain tubes was mint, just a few small repairs required at the front.
