No matey, previous owner fitted a schrick first then swapped that out for a supercharger which it still had bolted on when I a bought it. VR6 on here used to own it for near a decade and had a thread back in the day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted October 27, 2020 You engine bay does look mean and fantastic. New paint will be lovely, but I thought yours was ok. How long will she be away for Shaun? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How long will she be away for Shaun? 3 or 4 weeks I think, he said he was going to get straight on it Then it will be a slowish rebuild as there are some things I want to put t to bed while it’s in bits.

Grande GTi 11 Posted November 30, 2020 Looks really good mate The aqua blue looks spot on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1xshaunx1 27 Posted November 30, 2020 Cheers guys ^^^^^ I put it the garage and spent the weekend having a good think about how and what to do first without rushing in like a bull in a China shop “cause I wants it done”. I’m telling myself there is no rush, works hit and miss and the weather is pish, there is no need to rush. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spent Saturday going upto Newcastle way and seeing Chris, yet another tailgate to buy + a few bits. Spent Sunday removing the glass rubber and cleaning it. Gets right to the last foot and there is a nick in the rubber, lots of swear words followed. Can you believe it? I’ve more have snagged it somehow and put a little cut in it. Furious it was 16:30 on Sunday and I looked around, a whole weekend and achieved nothing and I need another bloody tailgate. Can’t even think about windscreens and glass till I get this sorted. At this rate Cressa I’m going to make your restoration look fast. Had it back nearly 3 weeks and I’ve got most of the hatch together 😂😂 pathetic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
