Lovely looking car

When it dies does it start up again straight away?
Could be the ignition switch? Or the plug that pushes on to it? Or a relay

Could be a bad earth somewhere, which could limit the current draw through the lights and cause some but not all to come on.

Its worth giving the earthing points a check for tightness

I'd like to have gone to Stonor park but already got something on tomorrow :-(

The wheels looked a lot lighter shade of silver before I put the lacquer on then they went quite dark. Theyre ok for now and a massive improvement on the mullered p slots that were on the car but I might spray them ...

Yes I definitely want to go to some shows! Ive had the car long enough to be confident of it being alright on a long trip now :-)

I spent some time over the past few days respraying and fitting the Zandvoort wheels

It can be done in situ, I recently changed mine and although its awkward it does come off. I took a lot of the other hoses off first to make access easier

Seen three mk2's this week,
A white (gt2 i think) travelling south on the a26 between Crowborough and Uckfield on Tuesday night.

A black mk2 Gti around Peacehaven and Newhaven, lowered and a really nice sounding exhaust note

A blue Scala around Peacehaven, also sounding great

Everything went well and now have an mot:-)
The polybushes on the rear beam make a real difference on the road, much more stable round fast corners

Ive just bought a new tank from heritage for my mk2, £109 inc vat straight off the shelf.

It says it is galvanised so i wasnt going to go mad painting it, just a coat and then some sort of stonechip guard for the underneath?

Thats about how much i expected it to be. I just hope everything comes undone easily, looking at the rear beam brackets the nuts holding them to the body are really rusted badly

These things always happen at the wrong time!

Well, its mot time on tuesday and spent the morning going over the car looking for anything that it might fail on. Noticed the petrol tank looked a bit wet near the filler neck pipe, had a closer look and the tank has rotted through just above the connecting pipe sticks out for the filler neck :-o ...

Im missing 3 centres for the p-slots.
Picking up the Zandvoorts tomorrow and I have a feeling the centres might fit both sets of wheels, the mounting clip looks the same but not sure of the outer diameter

Did you get them?

I didnt bother in the end. The centre bore was only 52.1mm, i contacted two local firms about enlarging it, one wanted £100 and the other wasnt interested!

I'm now looking a set of 14" zandvoort wheels from a b3 passat gt :-)
Its not that I'm not happy with the p-slots on my ...

I did some work for a local machining firm recently, might have a word and see if they could do i. In the meantime i'll go take a look at the wheels with me digital caliper gauge

Oh no! Thanks for that mr.brown, I never even considered the centre bore size would be an issue. Darn those Swedes and their small wheel centre bore sizes!
