Mitchfromhillcrest Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 2nd day we had it, we filled it with some fresh oil,since it was bone dry. new fuel and vroom. Will be giving it a new filter and oil as Im unsure what its condition is. So far only thing for a warrant is front right outer cv boot is fooked. Emptied the red car out and found some goooooodieeeees. Sadly the red gti is far gone, much like the green one so both will be heading to the scrap after I rape them of their parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchfromhillcrest Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Once sorting through all the crap I still couldnt find the windscreen. Lucky I have two spares in the other two cars. Cleaning window seals and windows is a highly satisfying job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchfromhillcrest Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Used the missus's potato to take some photos of the progress. Finally got her to help with something. Clean the seals, woman! Armour-all the seals ,woman! Got some fiddly crap done today, Wing mirrors on, Front door seals, window scrapers, rear boot thingy re trimmed, seat belts fitted,rear side panels cleaned and installed. But mainly sorting through 3 cars worth of 30 year old stuff took up most of my day. Again sorry for the potato photography, its not my strong point.

Mitchfromhillcrest Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Been lazy, unproductive, busy, unmotivated. All of the above. But got stuck into it tonight. Headliner done, still to cut the hole for the rain roof. Rear windows in. First time doing windows. FIrst time doing windows alone too. Door rubbers on, boot rubber on, boot re installed and speaker trays too. Seats came up mint after a run through the laundromat! Will be giong together this week sometime hopefully. Spent ages sorting through the seat shit. Glued some of the carpets down so it looks neater. Tried sorting the sunroof out but to no avail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
