Oh and forgot to mention swapping the rusty passenger door for a solid item. Just glass and door cards and locks swapped. Easier said than done

Nice play in the workshop today, both wishbones changed for new ones from vw herritage, complete with fitting kit. My only gripe is that they send all the fixings apart from the nut and bolt holding the ball joint to the hub. Minor but can be a tad arward if yours isnt in the best of shape.

Also fitted new front dampers & springs with top mounts, managed to salvage the old camber ajustment bolts but will be replacing as it spoils the look

Just new bonnet hinges to get as old ones have went walked in the garage. Hit a wall with the restoration but with the lighter nights in full swing I can crack on
