Love this thread mate and pmsl when you said you was having a radiator for your birthday 10 out of 10 for commitment on your project I think:awesome:Keep at it mate and keep us posted It's great to see a young gun having a go and talking about end float and tolerences etc Hope you get it sorted for Japfest where I will see it in the flesh. Good luck with it bud

lmao! Cheers mate, yeh I have had an odd set of birthday and xmas presents I am not giving up with this car!

Way I see it, I'm either sitting inside with a box of tissues and a Laptop, or hunched over and engine bay watching my efforts reach an ultimate goal. Both are very appealing I must admit, but the car has a whole lot more going for it!

Me too, can't stop thinking about what it's going to be like to have it up on the stand, Sad I know, but this is 2 and 1/2 years of my work.

Cheers,

KP

only seen this thread top job you are doin there mate fair play to ya

 

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Thank you mate It's been a lot of time and effort to get it this far!

I've made yet another trip to the garage today and it looks like I'll have the GTi back in my possession by the end of the week which is just the tits!!!

I've ordered for the Windscreen to be fitted again tomorrow, slight blue tint I just need to get the side-mouldings ordered in which is going to be interesting as Mr. T wants about £100 for them.

Wheels and Sunroof should be delivered this week too, and I am looking into ordering all the clips and fasteners that I need to get the skirts, rear screen and other bits and pieces back in. I am quite concerned because I cannot for the life of me remember what type of clips the bolts screwed into on the underside of the skirts, and like wise I cannot remember what the Skirts would "pop" into either. Not sure what to order so anyone who could maybe take their skirts off and show me some pictures and measurements of the clips would be a legend in my eyes!

I've got my plan together on getting her ready for the show, and my god I have my work cut out for me... as does everyone coming in to help, but this is going to be the final hoorah until she's ready for show.

Anyway, enough of the chat. Of course I had to get some pictures, and she has now been polished - this is now insanely sweet!!!

If you haven't just dribbled and found yourself strangely aroused, you need to look more often

Ooh and I have ordered a set of these just this morning :drool:

Cheers! Yeh my bad mate, my excuse is that I am running my own OC now, I will be keeping this Thread far more regularly updated once she is back with me. I'll have something to post about then!

As an apology for not posting enough, you're the first guys to see my latest order as of 5 minutes ago:

Custom sizes to fit perfectly

Thanks for looking everyone!

Tell me about it mate, it's gonna be a crazy month to get her ready for Japfest!

Got my Plates and Oils delivered today!

I should have my wheels delivered later today as well, the suspense is actually killing me!

KP

 

[KPARRIS-JONES]

My wheels have been delivered!!!

Here they are om nom nom

They're exactly what I was going for. The Toyo T1R's are very very sticky and soft, exactly what I wanted, these are just perfect.

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Thanks mate, yeh she is way closer the the end than the beginning!

Got a long way to go but I'll be damned if I don't get her there.

[Nickygixer-k5]

Well hurry up then may 14th won't be long:disgusted:

 

[KPARRIS-JONES]

lmao! If there is one person who knows that it's me!!! :lol:

She'll get there, next weekend I have a mate coming down to get the rear turrets into an MOT passable condition, and I have the whole of April off to get her finished off.

I'm bricking it yet it is still very doable I reckon
