Chucked my borbet copies on at the same time. Amazing the difference a change of wheels makes

Excellent work Nate - gotta say whatever anyone does to a MK2 it'll never look as good as a nice MK1. Very kool.

Look in good :-) Is there any reason why all the pictures of the car are in black and white?
I really enjoyed the fitting every thing back on the car bit of my restoration untill I could not find those little bits or screws I put in a box some where then spending hours hunting around the garage trying to find them..

pics are black and white so i don't give away the colour. don't want people to see the colour until it's finished.

i started realising i'd lost stuff earlier today. sadly not just screws and bolts - i can't remember where i put the wiring loom!

The loom is a big part to be missing you must have to much other stuff in your garage for it to be hiding away.

Liking the wheels, are they the ones I sold you? They do suit the car. Intrigued about what colour it is :-)

I'll be driving through Swindon fairly soon, I'll have to go do some spying ;)

Nah only joking, I'd never give it away!

It's looking great man, can't wait to see it in the flesh. Thanks for all the communication the other day by the way, even if it did fall through for both of us!

I bought them from someone, but can't remember who! About 5? years ago, and they were to go on a b3 passat that I promptly wrote off. They're gonna be my winter wheels for the time being, and I've got a different set for the summer that are polished. Assuming that they fit over the brakes I've got. Getting nervous that I might have to go to 16s

I sold you the wheels then, it was about 5 years ago. I know I struggled to fit them over standard calipers without 9.5 mm spacers.
