My Golf Cabrio 1989

I run a bolt on K&N. I just bent the bulk head back slightly and no clearance issues.

Thats good to know jayc, did you not have any issues with the bonnet just been on vw heritage and it says it wont fit as it will foul the bonnet.

It's not anywhere near the bonnet. The filter is 75mm or so tall so about the same a regular airbox. I'll take a pic for you.

Nice one jay i appreciate it

Just finished putting on new rear calipers and dust guard thingys.

Car taxed today taking it for a run out

Car ran really well today, brakes all felt good , handbrake could be better so ill have to look into that, had some nice comments whilst stuck at the lights which is always good.

Minor detail with the handbrake, unless your drive is on a slope!! All else good news then  

The dreaded MOT today got everything crossed.

passed clean bill of health.

Cheers guys going to try and do a few more miles in it this year.

Have been busy cleaning the engine bay the last couple of weeks trying to get as much gunk and oil off it as humanly possible, without taking the engine out and stripping it all down its almost impossible to get everywere clean.
This is how it was before havent really got a lot of pics of the bay





and a couple of how it is now, its an improvement but not really as clean as i wanted it to be.

cleaning engine bays is a thankless, long task  

but yours has come up great

Cheers matt long way to go unfortunatly

Got these the other day


Bit of a project over winter maybe, If i wait and take the engine out aswell it will save all the knuckle scraping trying to clean it.

got an early finish today so decided to strip some parts off for powder coating.


the servo and arm was a bit of a pain but got there in the end, would i have to strip the servo before powder coating?

its getting cleaner back there

Got my stuffback from the powder coaters today.
Few pics.
