@jenk

just using any ol gloss black to make them shiney and matt black aerosols so easy! and makes such a diffrence!

@aimez

things left to do are
sounds
electric windows
central locking
horn wiring
front indicator wiring

all these are quick jobs and wont take long! mot will be booked in when everything is bang on! id imagine this will be in about 3 weeks

should have log book back this week to change all the cars details then will be shopping for insurance asap on road in 4 weeks i estimate (could of had it on the road months ago but want to do it PROPERLY!)

@ cupra jay

i would go to gti international but i belive that this is when im on holiday :cry: but ed 38 is a DEFINATE!

drove it today to check all is well mechanically and no rattles or knocks and all is FANTASTIC! made the suspension settle a lil more and keeps getting lower :blink:

making a slide show of the whole project so people who cant be arsed to read this ESSAY can see the basics of what ive done :D
