seanl82 23 Posted May 27, 2020 Haha, love it! The excitement gets to you doesn't it! You'll get all precious about the car now though, just don't be afraid to drive it. My respray (and all the other costs replacing trim etc to make it look nice and new as well) cost more than twice what I paid for the car also. It's been off the road for 3 years but I still get nervous when the kids go in the garage! Lol. Looks stunning btw. 👍 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cressa 43 Posted May 27, 2020 The aircon rad was readily available as it is the direct Diavia replacement. I honestly thought I would struggle to get one, but it was easy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cressa 43 Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) The Classic Green Pearl LC6U does look nice when the sun hits it. I always wanted a blue one, but am happy with this Edited May 27, 2020 by Cressa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 43 Posted May 27, 2020 But to Piss me right off, the old guy next door said he would watch me back the car down the drive so that I didn't hit the doorstep. No it's fine, I will wait until the GF gets back. No no let's do it now.... so crunch. The *ucking alloy on the step.... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Atleast it wasnt the new paintwork.... AGHHHH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Sorry to hear that mate it is one of my pet hates - when the trucks are backing up I have for my firm , the kid backing up tends to move his hand as signal to reverse but at the same time is looking at his iphone whilst picking his nose, eating a sandwich , and also sipping a coffee - however when the wagon hit something it wasn't the kids fault signaling because a wasp distracted him- oh and he wasn't driving the truck.

seanl82 23 Posted May 27, 2020 That's so not funny, ask me. I know! Literally the day it was back on the road after respray - and wheel refurb, some stupid woman decided her Audi A4 would fit up the road with cars parked on her side. I was already half way down and had right of way, but I was forced to curb an alloy or lose my wing mirror! Not happy at all but as you said, at least it's not the bodywork.

Cressa 43 Posted May 31, 2020 The pleasure is definitely in the cleaning, treating and refitting the parts. Making it look like a car. I took the rear bumper off to fit some new side clips, as mine had a slight wobble and weren't holding it tight enough in. Fitted the Heritage items, which are tight and it all lines up perfectly perfectly. I even took the opportunity to waxoyl inside where the bumper slides in and inside the tailgate. May aswell whilst I'm in this position. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cressa 43 Posted June 2, 2020 So any spare time I am putting her back together. I'm not even bothered that the bloody rear wiper motor does not work now that it is fitted !! Clicks and has voltage.. the back end is looking good and Monday the rear and side glass are booked in to be done. I even spent a tenner on getting a punch to cut out a perfect circle for the tailgate bumper stop adhesive circles. If anyone wants some I can punch them out and send you a couple, see the pictures below. And I took on the dreaded job of refitting the wiring loom into the doors, cleaning the paint from the glass and fitting the outer handle. All painstakingly slow but perfect. If anyone has a pic of how the wiring on the inside the door should be it would welcome. I have got the bit to the door handle and central locking, but not how the mirror control should be and where it comes out.. then I need to sort a membrane, suggestions please. I've seen the foam version or so I go PVC!! Hmm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted June 2, 2020 Coming along nicely! If you've got a couple of those disks spare, I'd love a pair please mate! I reused my old ones but one has fallen off. Where did you get the material from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 43 Posted June 2, 2020 I got it from ebay. Something Keyo posted about. PM me your address and I'll send a couple out mate, no worries Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have used the VW OE grey foam mate and I do not reccomend it one bit- mine have got cracks all ready on both the golf and rado had to tape them - my advise is to get some good quality builders membrane sheeting that will be better quality then any of other crap out there.
