-=Kris=- 0 Posted March 18, 2010 Jealousy is a cruel misstress, Alex... :tongue: The "something special" that i had planned for the underside of the car is apparantly quite OTT........... Oh well... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullfinch 0 Posted March 18, 2010 The "something special" that i had planned for the underside of the car is apparantly quite OTT........... Oh well... Yeah Dave did mention that to me as I want to tart my underside up when the car gets up there in April. Looking forward to seeing the photos - might need a pair of 8) these on.

Alex_G60_Fanatic 0 Posted March 19, 2010 you know what, that would be great to work on. Must make it so much easyer to see the bolt holes and fixing locations ect. Top man! :notworthy: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=Kris=- 0 Posted March 19, 2010 Well that was the idea! To make it easier for Dave and Graham to put back together! And I'm not sure that is OEM... :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-=Kris=- 0 Posted March 21, 2010 my eyyyeeesssss! sure it bright enough mate? :lol: actually, my 1st choice was lime green, but then it'd look like i'd ran over a sun lamp! not that this is much better! :tongue: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullfinch 0 Posted March 21, 2010 What you lookin to get done, mate? similar sort of stuff as mine? I think so. I know it's starting with timing chains, tensioners etc and KW V1's...then it maybe a case of dealing with any nasties :gag: that are uncovered. I had the front suspension re-built last year by DG so that should be fine. When will yours be ready for collection? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=Kris=- 0 Posted March 21, 2010 I was actually hoping to have it this weekend, but due to VWs lack of pace in delivering parts, it's been delayed by another week, and ther worst thing is that i'm going on holiday on thursday till next monday... I'll probly end up grabbing a train up there the day i get back from Marrakech. the 1 disappointment i had is that i'm not getting the rear beam colour coded like the front stuff just yet... i ran out of budget due to the engine faults that appeared... :( Oh well... next payday... i'll be up there again for the rear beam, ARB and VT engine mount... to... well you know... finish the job! :lol: Will be cool when you get urs done matie! let me know when it's done and we'll meet up for a brew... :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
