recent changes include coilovers, oz superleggeras, m3 style rear lights and oem foglights still to be fitted let me know what you think guys

looking good, oem fog lamps will make a difference at the front.

are those factory rear lights or home made?

They were done with a can of black satin and some clear laquer
lasted well till some berk smashed one in a car park

Sweet Mota Buddy im sure ive seen your car befor where you from (this will be an egg in my face moment your gonna be miles away)

Cracking motor although Im not feeling the playboys plates tbh x

Just a little update gave the old beast a clean today, She hasn't moved in two months due to the head gasket letting go, theres still quite a few other bits still to be attended to, Paint the front bumper, fit oem fogs, new front spoiler, fit poly bushes to subframe and wishbones, fit new brake pressure regulator, headgasket oh and a new rear panel to sort that fooking dent

liking the new look. exhaust hanging rather low

btw hope you don't mind but i sorted the first pics for easier viewing.

Nice ride..... big fan of the second set of rims they look a lot better on the ride..... Black tints would set that thing off big time..... keep it going...

Nothing majorly exciting happened lately rehung the exhaust looks alot better chin spoiler and new indicators fitted and I've now got another engine to replace the current poorly one

the fun and games begin.

Anyone got any tips for cleaning up rusty bolt heads and what's the best paint to use on the block and the head

when ive done cars in the past ive used a hight tepreture hamerite buddy they do one for vehicles etc think its quite costly though

Cool i'll have to look for it next time i'm down halfrauds

that car looks the dogs! i love the jettas in black! they just look good.

Car is looking fantastic and also lovin the new leggras.
The front looks so much better with the splitter and clear indicators in-place.
Maybe see it at Stoner Park?

Cheers guys unfortunatly don't think it will be at stonor, due to work commitments and getting a dog the engine swap is taking alot longer than planned, but will be more than likely rolling up in the girlfriends bora

Got a couple more bits painted up ready for the rebuild and finally made a start at painting the front bumper

Wahoo got the bumper finished doesn't look too bad for my first spraying effort, got the fog lights in finally as well, while the bumpers been off it seemed like the ideal time to clean up the cross members on the front and fit the poly bushes i've had sitting around for them since last year will get some pictures up once I can find my camera

Just need to bolt it back on properly when the crossmembers are finished and get a new grill rail

looks great!

Thought i'd get shot of the black tape on the back of the front door and front of the rear, what a pig of a job but looks alot better for it imo
the start of the process dog got the sack, good at barking at me but crap at polishing

after two hours of cursing starting to get somewhere

whatever they used at the factory it was meant to stick, onto the rear

not bad for six and a bit hours, two thumbnails, 1 can of wd40, half a bottle of meguairs and alot of colourful langauge can't wait to do the other side

Job well done James, car is looking awesome.

Finger nails grow back so get on and do the other side.

Love those wheels so much.
