Do the tracking at mine if you want - a couple of the neighbours have old-skool dunlop gauges. You can do the camber with an iphone, a spirit level app, and a piece of wood. It's much more fun that way ;)

The other thing that can cause random flashing of rear lights is corrosion bridging two of the tracks on the backplate, if the lights have got a bit damp. I expect you know that though. Having said that, I'm not 100% sure if Mk1s have those sort of circuit tracks on the rear lights...

A few little finishing jobs and it'll be transformed!

Swapped wheels with the Storm and gave the front a quick smack with the lowering stick...

That shouldn't look that good on blue wheels!

They might have to come off - mysterious knocking has developed since I put them on

From the front?
Spacer related?

Did lowering it involve changing suspension? If so, I'd be checking it's all done up tight.

Deffo something to do with the wheels/spacers/bolts as it's back on the other ATS and no problems. Anyway, more importantly, I finally managed to get around to doing some of the little jobs on my list..

1. Fit NOS grille badge

Look closely and you may see the sign of the second job....

2. Fit early mk1 Golf manual bonnet release catch (stripped, blasted and zinc plated)

3. Fit new bonnet upper catch

4. Fit Momo Corse gearknob (originally in this car many, many moons ago)

Picked up some ebaytastic goods at the weekend

Now just waiting for a sunny (or just not so bloody cold) day.

So, despite the weather, I fitted my (imported from the US) "Scirocco S" door cards and the Storm seats. I am quite liking the black and beige look..
