Not on here it ain't mate. Anyone can throw money at a car for it to be "scene" but that ain't dubbing. I have put loads of money into a car before, but didn't feel right for me.

just a few updates g60 brakes ,new hood and a bra which im not sure about

who did the hood for ya?

great northen hoods,he done it on my drive well chuffed

what sort of money was it mate? did he supply the hood too? and did ya have the quilt bit replaced too?
I am gonna get on with mine now it is still with me...

well got some spacers today for the rear wheels ,now just in need of some skinny tyres or some stretch any one got any ideas on tyre size

they sit really well u gonna av to go stretchy tyres tho to avoid chuffin em on the inside of ya plastic arch....if they had been metal would of suggest rollin em which is alot of work and looks nasty unless u willin to go the extremes of filler and paint

lovely mate!

what size wheels are they tom?

what size have they got on now mate?

they have got 195 45 15s on now the wheels are 15" by 7.5

get some 165/50/15s on there will look spot on then

well got some tryes but not happy just put 175/50/15s on but now have changed my mind and want 165s what do you think

i rock 165/50's and youve seen the stretch on my 7.5's tom

finally got the 165's fitted on the fronts but now need alot more lows










new sump and gasket here to due to destroying it on the way back home from inters,also 4 branch on ,and poly bushed roll bar on

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

well i have'nt updated in a while but here goes,after coming back from inters i managed to drop my sump full of oil on my drive ,not good,i replace the sump and it was all fine, i changed the manifold for a 4branch all fine ,then i sprung an oil leak ,so we put it on the ramps to see where it was coming from ,and the so called VW expert told me its your head gasket its leakin from one of the gallerys ,great i had some work to do ,so i stripped the head ,sent it for a wee skimm, put it all back to gether filled it up with oil ,turn the key fired up first time.the car was running great but after about five minutes the oil leak retured boooo,i havent got a clue where its coming from i took the cam case off to try and see and got spryed with the leaking oil,but i'm am building another engine but its far from ready get ,so i now have got a replacement engine for the old girl untill the other one is built pics to follow

one engine out





the new one will be back in after a new cam belt is fitted

after a little clean up
