Thats fine by me.... You got any ideas for me ? Spotted anything ive done or going wrong ?

[litlekris]

just love your attention to detail.. i was going to skip a few things on mine but not anymore..

[scratchfree]

Every time i do a section i think should i skip this or that, its really hard at times, even bits you cant even see, but i just cant live with knowing something is dirty... This thing might never see the road again !! haha

[scratchfree]

Things should look mighty interesting come Thursday will have everything back from the powder coaters..

In the mean time i got some Original bits from this place http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/vwaudibits/&_ ... 1423.l2754 they are very local to me and always sort me out...

So Driveshaft was off for complete overhaul and powder coat, it seems there was a clip missing on the inner joint so the grease had just started to mush up... The passenger side shaft is stuck on though splined bolts ROUNDED off... Will look at that when i refurb the gearbox sometime...

Hey mate, glad you like I was just starting 3 years ago I have never worked on cars just cracked on with it reading Haynes, has got OCD! ha and is good on the tinternet to know where to get things done..

Powder Coating will be Monday now, so kept myself busy with a full overhaul of the outer CV's also picked up the last bits from the Zinc platers...

Top job....The only thing you have forgotten is that when its finished, you will want to do anther one !!!!!..Judging by what you've done, that isn't going to be a bad thing !.

In the process of saving for a Mk1 and a Mk3 ;)

Can anyone confirm if the Inner Boot CV requires a clip on the outside to keep out muck, both inner CVs are in original state and are without. The Haynes manual image doesn't show one. But all renew kits from dealers show a new clip...

All installed along with some nicely freshened up original Ronal wheel bolts..

Again if anyone can confirm the comment about the inner cv's that would be great
