Another quick update, mixed emotions!
The bad:
Upper strut brace fitted and fuel cut off relocated on Saturday.
On Monday I had to cut the lower strut brace to get it off, one of the cups was seriously fucked! The now fully damaged cup was a little misshaped when I got it, second hand parts and a dodgy description.
So upper brace came off and as its pointless without a lower brace. I can seriously notice the different in the handling.
Now the good:
GTI gear knob and new leather gaitor fitted. Much better than standard.
New boots Toyo TR1's arrived today, going to put these on my freshly powder coated S rims when I pick them up Thursday when my new wheel bolts turn up. I know there not the best tyres on the world but there within my budget and I'm just going to use them as Summer wheels and as soon the weather turns the R rims will be back on.
Little done, but the new wheels will have a big impact. A good used wing will be turning up in the next few days so I can swap it with the old one with a chip in it.
Going to get started on the grill and boot lid badges this week, get it sprayed up and smarted the front end.
