My Golf
My drivers door doesn't line up properly. Think it could be where the water is coming in.
Any good ways to fix it?

Some people lift the door with a jack to correct it but I wouldnt recommend it.
You can get the pins from vw and gpc

Its my mate when i go round his i keep forgetting to sign out of the forum and he keeps posting on here. Makes it look like him talking to myself, confuses me most the time aswell. lol Wish he would get his own account so i don't look a complete idiot.
Anyway back to the door. I was going to buy some new pins by dad said i was wasting my money and grabbed hold of the door and lifted it up. lol I couldn't watch was painful. But it sorted it and the door sits perfect think its sorted the leak aswell.

Started to replace the head gasket as there was a little oil leaking out from the corner. Finally got all the new gaskets through so started to get things rolling tonight. Got the inlet manifold and exhaust manifold off. All the cooling hoses removed. All fuel pipes removed and sensor wires. Just the head bolts to come out now but decided to call it a night so will carry on tomorrow.

Removed the head today. Someone had tried to fix the head gasket problem before with some kind of block sealer. There is just hard gunk blocking the cooling channels that will now need to be cleaned out. Its a real mess and need a good clean.
Apart from that everything looks good. Going to dismantle the head and cut the valve seats after the head has keep skimmed.

Decided whilst i had the head off i might as well clean up the bay a bit. Got a bit carried away. Removed everything off the engine except the gear box so i could clean it up and paint it.
Oh well probably won't get another chance to do it so might as well do it properly.

The engine bay at the moment. A lot of scrubbing and painting to do.
A clean mark on cylinder 1 must have been leaking a bit of coolant.
The head,
The crap left from someone trying to do a fast fix on the head gasket with some engine sealant.
May have got a bit ahead of myself with the sticker "praise the lowered" but you can see my pressed plates are on.

I want to get some new wheels. I have my RA's but i want something a bit smaller like 13's.
Not got a big budget around ?200 so will have to be second hand, not to bothered if they come with tyres.
Any ideas anyone? Or know of any nice rims for sale?
