Cressa

Took the angle grinder to her, sorted in minutes. Wrapped everything up so well that it looked like it was having a Vasectomy

👀 Great spot.

Fair point on the holes 😁

What were your sensible reasons for getting rid before? The devil on your shoulder is saying too much to you 😈 But that car is a nice example, so go see it. I wouldn't like to throw that sort of money at it without seeing it Or is because I would buy a clubsport GTI instead 😊

I'm not one for a car on the floor either.. Did you get yours taxed? I'll PM my details over to you

The one on the front of the engine is an art of fabrication. I looked at the front cross member but Don't fancy spoiling it and have to get a replacement. That's why I considered putting plates either side where the bumper bolts through it. Downside is as I leave my drive it catches an exhaust cover occasionally. I don't want to make anything worse.. Perhaps just stick with cutting like everyone b4 me. Shame really.🤔

That car is nice and does look to have had a huge amount of work done. But top dollar. For that price I would have wanted a Recaro interior too. I would be surprised if it sells for that but good luck to him if it does.. Message them

Going to say YES. 👍👍

How does this little VT mount mange to make it sit higher? And what if........ I dropped the front cross member a little, say using some 10mm plate either side. Hmmm, then not have to cut the bonnet . Surely that small amount isn't going to affect anything!!! Just putting that thought out there, what do you think?

Yes you need this upgrade. Great way to keep it OE but better. And colour them as you like. Unless there is a rare motorsport version that you can find.

I put the 288s on at Xmas. Definitely a great upgrade that allowed me to fit under the speedlines and stop the car better.

It's looking fantastic inside. That is definitely a lot of effort into making it that nice whilst putting it back together. Can't wait to see it 👍

Just done the VT front engine mount this morning. Nothing too stressful but I have noticed the engine does sit slightly higher now, as I can not shut the bonnet on that side. Cut out will happen soon. All 3 mounts changed now and there is definitely reduced rocking movement thanks to this front one. I will put some pics up later. I did notice a single drop of oil hanging from the power steering pump.... so that will need to be watched.🤔 WORSE TO SEE whilst up on the ramps, the inside of my drivers alloy wheel is black 😱😳 no time to look today but thinking a CV boot has given up on me Bollo#

Ooo save a nugget yellow G60. What did you have b4?

I too would consider dropping the fuse box down as fla says. Turn it and yourself so you can have a good look at all the connections. Oh these cars do test us 😡

Bleed the fronts, just to make sure that fluid does move that way

Such a beautiful german family 👍

Ha, never

It sits/ clips in by a plastic piece going across it. When I get back later I will post a pic

I was originally thinking of getting a dremel to try. I may just see how gentle I can be with the angle grinder and the slim cutting blades first. Interestingly, my bonnet does shut without cutting anything out. I even placed some sticky tape on the high corner to see if it would stick to the bonnet, but it didnt. Only when I stuck some rolled up blue tack on the high point did it touch. So probably 2mm clearance and not allowing for any engine movement. I wonder if the VT front mount will make it sit higher, lower or the same. Perhaps I should fit this first Hmmm

I tried to get some earlier this year. Obsolete at Classic parts, but did see somewhere a person was having a go making these. I'll have a look around later to refresh my brain.

As above. What calipers do you have on the front ?

👍 thanks mate. I have been putting off doing this even though I have all the bits needed. Seems a big job but I broke it down to small ones. Doing the electrics and fitting all the vacuum stuff. Helped that the car was still driveable Months and months later fitting this But really need to get on with the bonnet cut so that it can shut 😊. Maybe this week ... . I'm sure I have spent longer thinking about doing this than it will take Lastly, the front engine mount change.

Keep that promise and get it taxed. I'm not going anywhere for a couple of weeks, so the kettle will be on.
