Scirocco.

well done for doing it yourself mate............much respect.

But if you do or did need a hand then stick a shout out on here and there will more than likely be a convoy over to yours!! armed and dangerous with tools

awesome work

But the caps back on stopeed the crashy sound so happy on that front.

Havnt put new topmounts on to much of a tight arse and brought the new elder scrolls instead.

Dash don't say things like that you will give me bad luck!!

Cheers Fitz will have to take you guys up on that when something blows up.

Nothing to report this week about from the Rocco apart from the wheel bolts undoing themselves on the way to work. Fun times!

Just brought these bad boys of ebay



They 14" compomotives gonna get them powdercoated at work and then buy some tyres, what colours do you guys think I should do them in?

sumin mad like orange

i think you should just keep them silver or a gun metal colour would look nice

yeah i think silver is best, they arrive at work tomorrow

Tyres are sooooooooo expensive anyone know where i can get some cheapo ones?

Nice wheels Mat; there's probably cheaper options, but Blackboots in Chesham were really good with an old Mini of mine, and I had the laser alignment done too - I think I'll be heading over there with my Golf after coilovers go on.

camskill.co.uk

Cheers for the help guys just need to save for some tyres!

ATS Euromaster in Aylesbury just got laser tracking stuff in so im told by a guy at work whos mate works there and loves a private job, im gonna head there when the wheels are done.

My wheels arrived today! Pretty scabby but working at a powdercoaters has its perks, heres a pic only brought 1 wheel home with me just to check they all fit. Going to be shotblasted and coated tomorrow hopefully.



Also going to buy these centres, sent the guy a message on ebay im not paying £25 for some shiny plastic!



My mate also gave me some Citreon C2 steels that he was going to scrap, gave me them for free so im going to blast and coat them at work, anyone intrested cheap to all nomads

Well wheels arnt coated due to these





9 metre long 1 metre wide heavy as you like, got delivered thursday need to be done by monday took 4 people and a broken forklift to get it in the factory they dont even fit in the shotblaster so we have to blast with the doors open, twice today ive walked past and been shotblasted!

Anyhooo wheels should be done next week go some cheapo tyres im about to order and knocked the guy down for the centre caps!

Also brought a tripod for my camera so should have a few pics of the car up soon!

nice rollers man lov'in the old skool

Having a problem removing the paint in the tiny gaps on the wheels, so Ive brought them home for some nitromors fun!

Fitted them up to the car top have a gander on what they look like.

p.s just put this on aswell

nice dude, its coming on nicely

yeah man nice

Well the wheels are done heres a couple of pics of what they look like, its silver with a "glitter" effect in the paint let me know what you think.

Still on the hunt for 195/40(45)/14

From this


To this

oooooh... shiny.

Not much to report having some nice knocking coming from the CV joints, so I brought some light reading to see if I could fix that problem



My window wipers came loose the other day so was driving in the rain with no wipers! great fun.

Got some new rear speakers of a guy at work to replace my 24 year old origanals.

Borrowed a halfords trade card and brought some proper tools to add to my childs tool kit!



Got offered a BMW E30 318 Touring swap for my MK2 golf was soooooo tempted but want the big VW in my life and would cost me a bomb to run such a big heavy car.

And finally does not look like ill have any tyres until late January as Christmas shopping is expensive and still owe the tax man from when I was self employed.

Have a good Christmas guys!

Just brought a set of these



I was told they are exip weaves, got them for £130 with tyres all with good tread only problem is the tyres are a bit on the chunky side but I can live with them till they get low, these wheels will either go on Laurens MK2 or ill sell them on once they have been powdercoated, what colour do you think I should do them??

Happy new year

Posing as me are we mathew?

Gay.

Sell tenner em to Adam! He'll buy anything hehe

Haha ill ask him if i decide to sell!

Not much been going on went for a drive with Lauren today



Tried the new wheels on Laurens car, what you guys think?



Oh turns out my cv joints wernt knocking, my bottom coilover bolts had come loose!

MOT for the rocco this week

Both cars look great but well done on all the work on the Rocco.

I like the classic wheels on the GTi, they really suit them.

agree with calimori..............timeless look on the mk2 ! great choice
