Got on with it lately:
Managed to get some nice weather to paint....
I was a little annoyed because the paint ain't exactly the same color even though I got the right paint code ege (the paint looks like nile blue in person) But oh well your not going to see much of it
Next I started building it back up:
Then I made a noob mistake fitted the fans without checking to see if it will work... I just assumed they fitted on the old one they will fit on this...
The nissens rad seems to have the core sit further forward, so the fan was hitting the oil cooler, cut the ties off waiting for the next set to come so I can move it over... luckily it just about fit where the other fan is now...
I then took the strut brace in to work and media blasted it...
was moaning a bit about having it powder coated because it was 30 quid!! but really happy I did now it looks really good.
walls 99 I think his name was on gti6 forum, he was french! He wanted to sell this he'd just bought a rs4
We can talk bollocks together then!

Gutted I didn't say hi over the weekend, I didn't actually realise you were going, I'd have made an effort to come and find you otherwise!
Next time for sure!
Yeah come say hi mate! Would love to have a chat. I would come and find you but, I don't have a clue who people are
Thanks mate can't wait to get around to using it
I'm pretty easy to spot at shows.
