  1. Top work as usual Jim, yours will actually be "rust free" when finished, rather than just assumed as most seem to. :thumbleft: What product are you using for repair to the underseal when its all done? Very interested to know what is closest to OE so it blends for when I do mine. Also, where did you manage to source the clutch master cylinder in the end? looks great!
  2. Wow, thats a huge amount of water! Take the carpet up, as I know you said the front is dry, but it could well be running under the sound deadening and collecting in the rear well, especially if you're parking facing up hill. Since the sunroof cover is out too, I'd get a hose or bucket of water and see just how much is coming through the sunroof. Get a metal coat hanger, stretch it out and push it gently down your sunroof drain hoses. Could well be a blockage that is causing it to run in from there mate.
  3. :cowboy: In fairness, I did exactly the same............. :silent:
  4. If I get time this week I'll pop into a local place and see what they can do. They're much softer plastic though so I'm not sure how good they will be as the 3D plastic is quite brittle. I was looking at getting some of the door pin surrounds made too as mine are toast. If I don't get time and Jim is willing, that'll be a good as he obviously already has experience with them.
  5. Ahh I saw 3 bolts out and assumed! Doh! Agree with Sean though, I always have the jack with a block of wood under the front mount on the Subframe.
  6. Good to know, thanks mate. :thumbleft:
  7. You don't need to, and shouldn't remove the centre 13mm bolt. That's what is holding the cross member on which in turn secures the front engine mount. Subframe drops = front of engine drops. :eek:
  8. You mean the quarter turn screws Rob? If so, I could do with some too. Mine are all present, but a few are a little worse for wear.
  9. Got some dimensions, all approximate. The base is H90 x W70 x D40 increasing to 80mm at the bottom where it curves outward. Mirror itself is H75 + 15 for the alarm light at the bottom x L230 x D38mm. The screen is at quite a sharp angle like the corrado, and the bottom of the base to the flat face of the mirror is 100mm. Sean, I couldn't see a gasket between the base and the screen, although there is a slight gap between the two so its possible. I didn't want to attempt to remove it as there's no obvious grub screw or anything so think it clips into place. Obviously don't want to try unless I have to for fear of breaking it! If theres anything else you need let me know. :thumbleft:
  10. Connects to either the heater dials on the right hand side mate.
  11. Good turn out this today for a cold and wet winter morning! Great to finally meet some of you and put faces to names! :thumbleft:
  12. I play the banjo quite a lot........... :ignore:
  13. Like that, would look very stealthy.
  14. I know mate, I've been wondering if I made the right decision but I've bought them now. I had a ride in somersetdub's VR on the bilstein setup though, and I remember thinking it sat perfectly and the handling was superb. I'll see how I get on with them as I'll have everything ready to fit them (I also bought new lower securing nuts & bolts btw) within a week or so, so I'll get em on sooner rather than later.
  15. New Lemforder ball joints, tie rod ends, Arb bushes, and rear top mount kits ordered from AVS, will order front mounts from VW on Monday.
  16. If you're after the battleship look, I could do you a good deal on what we call 'pussers grey' :lol: The wine red sounds very nice actually. That'd certainly be my choice.
  17. It's OK Rog, mine was spotless before I came down. I could barely see the number plates this morning!
  18. Happy new year to all. Me, I'm at the in-laws..........nuff said.
  19. Well I may be up for attending a meet a little further afield, depending upon when and how much further afield it is!
  20. Bugger, sorry guys I completely forgot. In Plymouth with the Corrado now so won't be back to the Bimmer til Saturday night. I'll check for you then Sean. kip, ours doesn't have rain sensing wipers, although I'm not sure if theyre all equipped with the function tbh? I'll get some dimensions if you like too.
  21. My apologies, I didn't read the entire thread. :bonk: Saw the post about Faye organising one before and jumped on it. Won't happen again Sean. :salute:
  22. I know mate. It's only small and it happens so I'm not too upset. I'm of the opinion it's there to be driven so I can't complain too much if it starts to show signs of it. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very protective and I certainly didn't expect all this within 3 days of being back on the road! And my ABS light came on on the way here too! Haha! Think I know what the problem is tbh.
