4 months since fettlings began and it was all but done. Just missed out on VW Action as it wasn't ready on the Friday due to the new rocker gasket weeping oil. Whipped it off on the Saturday morning and gave it a thin bead of black silicone on both sides which cured it. Drove it home for a good clean as its proper dusty at the unit! Was good to have it back in use again!

Sorted through my parts stash a few weeks after the build finished - probably need to sell off some of my junk to make way for the next one! This is just the stuff I'm prepared to part with!

The badge turned up in a box of polocrap when I sorted my spares hoard at the unit in October. Was duly clipped into place finally completing the back end 6 weeks after the rest of it was done!

Got a bit of use out of it until the roads were salted at the end of November - This brings us almost up to date - just under 500 miles since built.

Its been too cold to be bothered doing any work on the cars recently. Instead of freezing my c*ck off in the unit, I've been gathering parts to fit when the ambient temperature is a little higher. Bought a new scuttle cover from VW Heritage - These have not been available at main dealers for a good few years. They also supplied me with a proper Leistritz back box to replace the badly fitting pattern one I bought last Spring - The VW dealership wanted £271 for one of these when they last had them in 2009! (?)

No probs - G40 back box - 871-253-609G Scuttle cover - C867-819-413 - its intended for a diesel engined car but it looks identical to a normal one, other than having a thin layer of foam on the underside.

I've been meaning to sort out the worn gear stick mechanism on the grey car for a while now. Its not terrible but when compared to the one in my other car it is definitely sloppier! Got the mechanism out and dismantled it - Repair kit from VW for the bottom of the lever - And the bush that the gearstick to gearbox shaft goes through - Should feel like new again

Looks great! enjoyed the read. i did the mechanism on my mk2 last weekend, i imagine it would be so much easier with the shift box out the car!

Looks ace Cheers - really pleased with how it turned out. Looks great! enjoyed the read. i did the mechanism on my mk2 last weekend, i imagine it would be so much easier with the shift box out the car! Cheers - glad you enjoyed it! Certainly a lot easier (and warmer!) with it all removed.

Been adding to the collection of parts to fit to the blue car when its back in use again - recent additions include floor mats, rubber mounts for the fuel pump bracket, and a blank key to cut as I only got one with the car. Considering fitting a spare pair of fog lights too. Undecided as yet!
