Not much has happened unfortunately, we had to unexpectedly move house last year which was a real kick in the sack. The car is currently under a cover in the back after I found the sunroof had leaked leaving about 2" of water in the drivers foot well.
Anyway, when we moved I discovered the rear passenger wheel would turn then lock, it would then free up with a light tap on the back plate. Turns out a slither of shoe friction material had come off which was jamming between the drum and shoe. While the drum was off I found the cylinder was leaking too. So need to to fit new shoes etc...to the back.
The GTI tank pump motor failed, which I suspect is from me fitting (bodging) it in a diesel tank which allowed it to run dry. I've now bought a GTI tank and a 406HDI in tank pump motor which will go in the original housing. (Still to fit)
Got new drivers belt to fit and tidy up the fuel filter arrangement. Besides all that I finished boost pipework and intake, fitted new brakes and 15" speed lines so when we had our first dry day of the last few months I took a few pics of the old girl.....
And a pic of the engine, filter is a bit of a lash up and will be properly secured eventually.
Just before we moved I made a short vid of the engine running, nowt special but sounds good I reckon.
Wish I had more to show but been reet busy and very skint
