Sorry to be a pain but i promised Sean some close up pics of the Ronals i bought from him. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_hll3hdT--bE/TKNtd3cnuhI/AAAAAAAABAA/Rv0sARsPqqw/s1024/Image096.jpg http://lh6.ggpht.com/_hll3hdT--bE/TKNuIFZqDTI/AAAAAAAABAM/bQGDrUFLTcE/s1024/Image097.jpg http://lh3.ggpht.com/_hll3hdT ...

Oh! i neglected to comment on your white GT.

I can only repeat what you said - that is one good looking car - a fine example and little wonder we fall in love with 'em.

Thanks, Captain.

She's been on steelies all her life and i've never liked them. Today i fitted the Ronals and i'm very pleased indeed.

I thought i'd have a quick peek at Poppies progress but it turns out to be quite a read. So i'll pour me a large one and settle into the thread.

Cheers

Well here's mine. I bought her in 1990 and have known her longer than the Mrs (a point i let slip out once :? but we try not to mention it now) Anyhow. The photos were taken a few hours after the new RONALs were fitted (bought from Sean) and i'm dead, dead chuffed with them. Thanks again to MarkH ...

I saw this project in the flesh yesterday when i called on Mark to collect some wheels for my MK2. I think it's important on any project to have a good method and plan in place, remain patient and don't cut corners when it comes to quality. It was pretty apparent that Mark's right on top of this ...

Perhaps the torque setting in the Haynes manual is relevent to a cork gasket only. I'd take it up to three white knuckles (about 40nm) ;)

Seriously, i dunno, but the torque value might need to be different.

Just a quick hello from me. Been driving Sciroccos since 1982 when i bought my brand new MK2 GL Then in 1990, changed it for my current roc, a MK2 GT2 (1989)

I'm from the Wirral and was delighted to see that my roc had been 'spotted' somewhere in Bangor, Gwynedd.

Really good to be here.
