I miss my gti :cry:
It's due to go into locked storage very shortly for the duration of winter, and until I can drag it out probably around March next year.
The winter plans have changed slightly, but I'm basically hoping to do as much as possible of the following:
1. Respray/touch-up of the stonechips, slight dink on the ns Rear quarter, and general spruce
2. Fully rebush all suspension (new topmounts, powerflex wishbone bushes, arb bushes, engine mounts, rear beam mounts)
3. *possibly* adjustable camber top-mounts. This will probably be if i ahve any change!! lol
4. KW V1's. I've decided unless I go down the 'strip & track-prep' route, I'm probably not going to need more than these, so that frees up some cash for the other bits!
5. Full service, inc. plugs, oils etc.
6. 2 new Spec2s, maybe 4 depending on whether I can use the fronts on the rear for a bit longer!!
7. Re-furb the clones. I'm thinking a similar colour to how Jimmy's were(?) IIRC it was ford graphite grey?? Basically a slightly darker shade than standard.
8. Anthracite-masked crystals. :wub:
In reality, I'll probably only get a few of these done, as it's all money permitting, and I've just bought a house with the missus so all my money's going towards that for now Might be a while before I'm back on-cam :cry:
I keep forgetting to take pics of the Nad-wagon; this is the only picture; the rage-face of a man with no power;
