Nice collection mate would hate to think what you would have to pay for that collection in the future with recent appreciation of vag classics. I keep looking at the 5 cylinder Audi 80s but the S2 - was considering last year but they have hit the roof now ( im on about the coupe not the estate.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_S2 I pretty sure these are 8V cam cover - would look cool on the G60 they have been remade by Schrick recently.

Good to hear chap what cars you have now in your collection .

There are two 4 stud versions knocking about and the 5 stud have been known as the Vento cup alloys but they are vwms alloys that were issued to race teams as part of a package .

I think sometimes a business is built round one mans genius and when that man is no longer there the business may not be or be what is was. I believe Andre sold it once and purchased back some years later as it was maybe failing. I would say his in his 70s now.

Hi Geri, Hope all is well not seen you on here much lately . Gemini is still up and running and can still build you the full works straight cut dogleg or add on 3 - 6 or 5 -6 . His in the Midlands and I had the job at a school not far away in fact round the corner and popped in their and mentioned Vince from Stealth that use to work for him that broke the ice - he still has some casings left but once they are gone they gone + his in his 70s now so one needs buy rather then consider. mask was worn and kept distance . Stealth will be building the gearbox - its just a small project really with bolt on parts

Ha the spare one is for my the mantle piece above my fire and will sit next to a few other style wheels - beats some naf ornaments- however good pictures there and left link to seller who has made the decal so let the hunt begin - cheaper to buy the wheel and decal because what would one of these sell to for complete - probably daft money . If anyone finds one feel free to pm and I will confirm its a correct wheel.

Probably will go with black rather the white as that is more Mk2 era then rado.

Thanks Dox, The question is I have some balck and white decals as well same as the vento motorsport decals. I also have a decal for the gear knob. Do I go with black and blue like in brochure- white and blue - or black and white to match the alloy wheel decals. ???????? By the way I highly recommend this seller from Esty - turned them out delivered under 2 weeks and pretty good value at 4 handmade decals any logo and resin for £17 delivered. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/875592255/metal-stickers-custom-car-wheels-center Badge below he made.

The next parts to be added to my mini project Tempest. Japan VWMS Momo steering wheels . Took me a year to identify the steering wheels- manufactured in 1992 - finally one day saw one on ebay through visual identification from Russia- next day another one popped up from Belgium- one had an Alpina decal and the other was blank so I proceeded to get the VWMS decals made- by the way this is all VWMS did was get the decals made as the steering wheel is a top of the range Momo used on JDM specials and Lambo - was used by Motor Tuning houses as could just put their own decal on the Momo. How nice are those 4 stud VWMS alloys !!! To be continued.

Dont quote me on it but I believe this to be the seller and says 17 7J. + 18 https://www.facebook.com/crcustomwheels/posts/425891614275867

They look pretty good on this Rallye. Think they are only made in 17 and wouldnt fit a my mk2 valver the splits - but would be over the moon to restore a stock set .

This looks a good buy if you dont mind 15s the 5 stud RJ. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BBS-RZ-409-Alloys-15-Mk3-Golf/224321954642?hash=item343aa16352:g:57MAAOSw8ZFgB1Z5

Anyone else noticing even the things that were very common are even getting harder to find- I dread to think how many of these alloys the scrappers had.

Im happy to pay the going rate for a set based on condition just no damaged repaired rims through severe curbing.

I have two sets of BBS RA and my mates having the one set off me after constant nagging, so be rude not to mix it up a bit and get some sebrings. I had them painted like factory and new caps - but thought come on get a set of sebs although I like a psare set of oe as you have four spare .

After a complete set of Sebring alloys including centre caps for the MK2 no nasty damage . Based in the midlands. Thanks

They look good there for sure.

Also if you can take it off professional companies clean them.

Have you tried giving it some high revs- sometimes it unchokes it famous in the transit world. just below the red and a few minutes. I did this and a crap load of ash spat out the exhaust and ran like a dream afterwards- not an adblue vehicle though.

You can still buy them new from classics mate but congrats on the mot.

🤣

Looks good mate- I have the cleanest slam panel known to man kind its a red one with absolute no rust but it is for a 4 cylinder- damn !

Thanks Dox thats good to know about the Mk4.

Just checked mate they are Girling . As you say looks like I have another job on the list - the callipers have had someone work but by the looks of it just a paint of black and some green stuff pads - they look nice but hey ho that dont mean they work well - all to common when you buy a car and think great thats one job that dont need doing but comes back to bite you on the ass- nation of half jobbers 😅

I had rhe car facing down the hill mate and sprayed the back where the cable attaches to the the clip and also the handbrake sheaf cable with a straw hoping it would dribble down inside the plastic casing- pretty sure it will play up again as I suppose its just the first signs of something failing - the pads are really confusing though as the ones that seemed to be available where for Lucas callipers and these will be Girling I think . Is this why the Mk4 is a popular mod because they like to jam? These are the nos availble they are the last few and obsolete. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-of-rear-brake-calipers-Golf-MK2-GTi-1987-92-Corrado-535615423-424-Genuine/123988348887?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 Pretty sure the corrado rears are Lucas from memory ?
