galvanised parts and electro static painting


car is almost done for painting

New stuff, very nice    

Thanks i am having some issues about rear beam bushes but i hope i will find the answer somewhere… the problem.. when i put the bolt into the bush it has space…it's not bounded..i am affraid that this will result with some problems during driving. i havent seen something like that or locigal explanation for poly bushes mounting

new parts look great   

stupid questions, but worth asking… have you been sent the right bushes?

matt

if there are different types maybee, but as i know there is only one bush type for mk1

Can you send me a photo of the offending bush? I've got a box with all the bushes in somewhere, I can check the bore on mine so you can compare.

Matt

I took some measurements of the bushes and the bolt and as you can see the difference is 0.5mm. i know it's not too much but in this case it could make some problems. what do you think

Bush


Bolt


and the space between them

I'll check mine tomorrow night and let you know the measurements.

Matt

Hey!

I just read the last 4 pages of your build, absolutely loving it, great attention to detail - keep going strong and keep us updated!

Plus what a great reason to keep it on the road

Thank you it's a pleasure getting nervous when something goes wrong

Thanks mate.

Apologies, due to last minute "kids back to school" crisises, I wasn't allowed to play cars this week   . Will be there Tuesday and check if it's not too late for you.

Matt

No problem Matt. I have plenty of time

The car is painted enjoy

Hi Guys… recently i've bought very nice hella tail lights from a junkyard for 10 euros





Plastic covers also included..

Tomorow i will post some new photos from the work since i didn't have time to attach them cuz i am searching for parts i need

Cool car man….

Can you please let me know if that Junk yard had another set of rear lights ?

It has but i'm a bit far away from your country… the shipping costs would be more expencive than brand new

Looks stunning!

How many do you want? My local wreckers has over 50 MK1's but I'm on the other side of the world.

The end result is going to be great!
