Yes that is the same car lol albeit with some painted wheels, black masks and a lot of dirt.

Will put in some effort to get her gleaming again and then it's gonna be a nice long term project to make it exactly as I want it to be Smile

Will get some pictures after a. wash and wax tomorrow


Update

This is what has happened since she's been away and I'm gonna keep adding to the list of what I'm working towards

Rebuilt beam with (supposedly) bigger ARB
Solid rear beam mounts
Koni FSD shocks front and rear with -35mm springs
New cat (which has just fallen apart)
Cat back Scorpion exhaust
Head gasket
Aircon delete [emoji35]
New airbag module
Black masks
New spoiler

Things that annoy me:
Cat fell apart
Someone removed the alarm deactivate button [emoji35]
The blue centre console and engine bay bits got sprayed grey
The centre console rattles like a bastard
The heaters are stuck on full heat all the time
Brake compensator rod has been removed -why?!
ABS sensor has packed up
Boot and drivers door haven't been re fitted properly


Future plans:

Adjust boot / drivers door fitment
Tar remover / clay bar / wax
Soundproofing floor, boot, doors, roof
Reclining bucket seats
Drivers door loom repair
Central locking upgrade
Steering wheel upgrade / retrim
Wheel change
Ph3 bonnet
Ph3 front bumper
Re fit aircon system
Re spray centre console
Tart engine bay up
Upper strut brace
Paint repair on rear arch

Looks good Smile

RE: Back in black - Xsikid - 02-04-2016

Looks good already bud

Getton Tom. I did wonder what you were getting to replace the bmw.

Did you buy it off the same guy you sold it to?

Back in black - rocker8742 - 03-04-2016

Yeah I did frosty, been in the pipeline for a few months now just been getting everything together Smile

Feels good to be back had an awesome day using the fuel up yesterday lol

Back in black - rocker8742 - 05-04-2016

Few pics after a polish at the weekend, needed a tar remover and clay bar but I didn't have time to do it thoroughly. Didn't help that the rain came in part way through too so not many decent pics

RE: Back in black - Frosty - 06-04-2016

Looks like it come up pretty well. Certainly looked like it needed it.

Looks better with the black masks IMO. We will have to have a catch up soon.

RE: Back in black - Eeyore - 06-04-2016

yesssss another one back in the game!

RE: Back in black - Toms306 - 06-04-2016

That before picture is why not to use car washes lol...

Needs some tyre black but it's looking good now! Big Grin

Thats country hedge driving Tom.
all the cars round here look like that even the new ones Smile

RE: Back in black - Toms306 - 06-04-2016

The thick lines are hedge scuffs (I'm always catching hedges myself Sad ), the thin ones are caused by grit when washing.

RE: Back in black - mr_fish - 06-04-2016

there it is. ThumbsUp

Hope to see this around a bit more now.

Back in black - rocker8742 - 07-04-2016

It does look much better now still more shine to get out of it when the sun comes out properly

Black masks are growing on me and I think will be staying although not big on the black wheels, got a couple spare sets in the shed so will see what looks best

Lovely to have a car that handles again and will be out and about in it a lot, definitely need a catchup [emoji1]

Good to see you back! And looks like it cleaned up well

RE: Back in black - ozonehostile - 10-04-2016

Bet you're well chuffed to have got it back, most people always talk about the one that got away when they talk about a gti6 they once had

Back in black - rocker8742 - 11-04-2016

I am mate, it's weird buying back a car that I've already owned but well worth it. It won't be going anywhere any time soon either lol

First post updated with some plans and other changes

RE: Back in black - Eeyore - 20-04-2016

Some good plans. Weird how someone has broken it so much after a year and certainly some bizarre things there...

RE: Back in black - silverzx - 20-04-2016

Looks sweet polished up!

Tell me about it mate, spent a lot of money underneath but seems to have randomly left out or broken other things. Also needs new 306oc stickers as he was a PEG member and took them off [emoji1]

RE: Back in black - Matt - 20-04-2016

Why would someone remove the rod from the brake system? That's just odd

Back in black - rocker8742 - 20-04-2016

It is a little weird, definitely not there though

It was probably seized for MOT... 'Can't fail it if it ain't there mayte' lol

Back in black - rocker8742 - 21-04-2016

Lol could well be right

disgusting behavior....

RE: Back in black - Piggy - 21-04-2016

That compensator not being right...could explain it dragging its butt

Back in black - rocker8742 - 23-04-2016

New compensator is the starting point I think.

Dropped a load of water on me last night while driving. Was a bit surprised but could see it coming thorough the interior light so this morning stripped it out and cleaned up all the corrosion and re sealed the roof. Hopefully all good now

Needs a clean again badly, forgot how bad owning a black car is lol

no but by removing the rod make a defective system = mot Fail!


if there is no spring load on the compensator the breaking force is reduced to the rear

so effectively the brake effort is front biased

Back in black - rocker8742 - 05-05-2016

New compensator on its way along with a couple of other little things

Got some new wax to try out this weekend as long as the weather holds

New wax is here [emoji106]? try it at the weekend hopefully
