vwdeviant 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Ah I see.. Mine went along the lower panel tie-wrapped through the long holes and behind the "Horn support" (snigger)... For me I thought better chance of not chafing wiring harness, and again keeps it away from the bay and the major heat source (rad) for as long as it's moving or fan is on! Awesome though aren't they! :luvlove: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KUR2Y 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Glad you all like the performance of the looms. I had a fit when I saw all those tools and your car in pieces, you made it look harder than it is, lol. However it also made me smile, when I fitted my last loom I took the car to bits and cleaned everything. If I remember rightly I also changed the head light lenses. I don't think they where to expensive either. Mine where all stone chipped and frosty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted January 5, 2009 I had a fit when I saw all those tools and your car in pieces, you made it look harder than it is, lol. :lol: Out of that lot I used 1 spanner to disconnect the battery, 1 socket to remove the battery clamp and 1 screw driver to take the lights off. The funny thing is it looks really drastic but to remove the grille and the two headlights is about 10 mins work at the most! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Well, thought I'd make the most of today as it was rather nice and sunny. Still cold though. Went round oldskoolkool's and seeing as we had quite a few dubs all in one place I got some pics: Weather getting sh!tty again so washed salt off and put safely back in garage: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would have taken me weeks! :lol: Was cool to have all those vws together. One thing I meant to ask does your garage do MOTs? I need to find somewhere I can trust to take my G60. It has a cert until May but I know it's gonna fail so I'm thinking about getting it tested now so I know exactly what needs doing and then I'll have until May to sort it all out.

I can't really make any financial decisions until I know how much it's gonna cost to get this old heap on the road for another 12 months. :D Don't suppose you have any space this Tuesday?

Sonicriot13 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Yes! :D Another 12 months of MOT goodness. Now I can stop worrying about it and just look forward having the car for the summer. I've lost a bit of time on the previous MOT but thought whilst it was there being checked it may as well be issued if it's gonna pass. It's so cool, the charger was rebuilt just over two months ago, I've had all the brake lines changed, the crank bolt has been done, the fuel lines have been done, it's got a new water pump, I've got some Weitecs ready to go on (when I finally get round to it), the rear bearings are all new and it's had new disks and pads. It's just awesome! :D I'm so happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonicriot13 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Cheers guys. I was obviously was just worrying about nothing as per usual! :lol: And when I look back at the list of things I've done to it damn right it should go through an MOT! :D Nice one matey, I look forward to seeing it in all it's MOT'd loveliness at the weekend. :D Yes mate. Should be a good one. Someone on Dubsuffolk mentioned something about doughnuts so I think the turn out should be pretty good! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
