Kempy 0 Posted January 17, 2011 yep Im out, and after seeing the car in the daylight I want to get it on the road asap :) It started up first time which was good. Need to find the carrier though :( could be anywhere. looking into mk4 rears now I think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 17, 2011 If you need a carrier mate, i have a brand spanking new one in the garage you can have. got it with a new caliper but just kept the old carrier. If i remember rightly, the carrier will fit either side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krnau 0 Posted January 18, 2011 started working on some blue backlighted gauges and red glowing needles (backlighted as well). -the blue light you can see in the pics looks gayer than it is. It's really darker. -the gauges look a lot better than in the pics. I hope I'll have it 100% done and working by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so... pics to follow :D -the needles are not pink!!! They lit up in a stronger red color...

Hope it went well, i have one tomorrow too!!!![/quote:3vreamdw] I had one yesterday. it went like a crap but I was not interested in the job anyway. I just went there as I've been 4 years without any job interviews (as I've been working in the same place) and I thought it would be good to learn how-to do successful interviews LOL so I went there just to practice the one I had today was about a good job IMO and if they call me back, as I'll earn more money than I do now, there may be a rebuilt abf dropped into my tired KR :D I've not been able to do any dials working though :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 19, 2011 Ive had experience with a few internal interviews but not external. Its my first external one in like 7 years :? Im trying to get into an industry that ive been doing at my current job, but to actually get paid for doing it as opposed to doing it voluntarily as an extra on top of what i normally do. It alot more cash then what im on now. Which wil be nice :D No worries, im patient and still interested to see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
