thanks for the comments yes i like to try things myself! winter wheels makes it look less retro, but looking forward to better weather for my other wheels.
the ride quality is pretty good for budget coilovers (£170sh) and how its sat now is not set at their lowest. not sure how much lower they would go though as not tried it, may find out when other wheels go on!

Found some photos of the interior when I first got the car
some rough edges here and there but nothing to complain about!
So here are some pics of Eric in the recent snow. He had been sat for 6days in total….I wasn't taking him out to have someone slide into him! a few people had collisions on the junction of our house!
And here is my christmas present from my lovely other half and his mummy
and my new boss kit i purchased…yes there is a picture of the box - i just really like it…lol
Unfortunately work tomorrow but sunday off so will hopefully be putting it in then
more pics to come

when i bought the golf it came with shmidt modern lines. they were in dier state but at the time i was working 11 hours per week so it would have taken forever to save for a refurb. so i decided what have i got to lose? so did them myself…
Ok so here is a pic of what they were like when i got the car;
how he stands now;
i dont want to do much else if that anything at all to the look of it now, so will start to work on a few bits of the engine like fit the new rocker cover gasket as there is a slight leak also waiting for a metering head to arrive and get to work on that. then possibly a cam in the not too near future…
thanks for reading, carrie 8)
