Fantastic work 8) liking how your doing the spraying yourself, a lot of work involved. I know a bit about spraying and i know what it would take to do it by yourself in a garage espically to get to the level finish you want! At work we have painted the work vehicles after cutting sills and arches and rewelded them and painted them, I also learnt why you use a proper mask. My boss came in early to finish of one vehicle, safe to say he used a light dust mask by the time we saw him and he took his mask off his teeth were a funny weird kind off white form the paint :nono: keep up the good work.

Yeah the car covers seem to blow off or half blow off when your :sleeping: prob best try and tie it mind you you might have better luck than myself!

It could be your pump thats not working for your power steering, so make sure its working i suppose you will be able to tell if you see the fluid moving in the reseroir Your headlights, not sure you could try start easyily with fuses , if not alot of people put uprated wiring systems into the cars to get better headlight power so be sure to check the wiring around the headlights, no doggy connections. There is a light that come s on on the headlight switch itself a small LED so make sure it comes on when the switch is pressed, this should tell you your switch is working! The relays are on the back of the headlight switch incase you go looking

I got the steering rack rods sorted out just need to get it a MOT a couple of things it failed on headlight pattern and handbrake not working enough, the amount of time the dude had a look at the car and the time he took i am glad that was all ! I have been getting distracted as well! :D PICT1657.JPG[/attachment:374nv73q]

Hey needing a little help, the existing steering rack seals were shot as fluid was leaking so in the rebuild I sourced a second hand rack, was told the rack would fit the car as it does ,once I had changed the splines form the inside the rack that connect onto the steering coloumn as they were differently splined. The prob was when I built the car up the wheels, they would no where near track up straight. Checked the lengths of the track rods and they were different, the second hand rack arms were longer by say 50mm. So i ordered not through VW (cost a bomb) but at Dingbro new track arms and they arrived and yet still longer than what originally came off? But the track arms were the same length as the track arms off the second hand rack? Any info would be so much help! Thanks

Nice to see you took a proper approach at the rust ! :D liking the vents!

I have a bird scarer on the farm hardly been used! oh wait I think you might not sleep or the neighbours ten blocks away..... BANG :lol: Always the scare crow?Also aparently birds cant pass wind so if you lay out some bicarbonate of soda then if they eat it then they should explode... There is one thing we have used in the sheds its a fake bird of prey such as an eagle, hang it by wire from the ceiling and the wind moves it around a bit, sometimes it scares them off. Lots of helpfull ideas for you! 8)

So is it a garage your building? :D

Yeh some more pics ! especially with the black one s wheels with the matt black! :D Safe to say they were beat nicely today, sorry but there playing was pretty bad! infact they should have all phoned in sick to their manager!

ah right thanks for the heads up, em no idea who has a cd i will try and find one!

Its well worth getting the head skimmed, my mate never did it on his car and yes it was a rover 25 and yeh there engines are made of cheese but yeh first time he never got his head skimmed. After 5k he had to re do his head gasket then got it skimmed, for the £35 it cost him for the skim its well worth it.

Looks sweet, liking the photograph of your C and the golf behind, especially the way the light catches the VW badge. Your interior is looks like new! :eek:

Hey does anyone else have a prob using ETKA ? As soon i click on parts catalogue i just get a blank page? Same as when i use the search click on the searched item then a blank page?

looks great, love the red rears and your choice of wheels just finishes it off 8)
