well, not sure if anyone is checking in on this forum.. But the car went for paint last week, a few panels have been bought. Quality of aftermarket stuff is very poor, couldnt live with the front wings. So i have managed to track down and buy a pair of NOS ones. US spec so will need the banana light holes welded up, but thats a small price to pay for wings that fit properly
Attachments:
stripped down the heater box, replaced all the foam and finished off with a new core. All quite easy bar the new heater core being slightly fatter, so i had to file away a mm or 2 from the housing.

been slacking a bit recently 😀 Been on holiday in my other syncro, among other places parked up by a volcano and a 32km kayak through the gorges of Verdon.
The Golf is back on its wheels now and is ready to go off for metalwork and paint! should be taken in, in roughly 2 weeks
Now, if anyone is sitting on a set of genuine G60 front wings, or genuine standard ones, im listening….Attachments:
Front subframe built back up. consists of.. New genuine subframe, recon rack, polybush’d the rack and new bolts. New engine mounts, have fitted a hydro mount for the RH side as my mount for the normal bracket was very rusty. So it actually works out cheaper.
Attachments:
slowly getting ready to drop it off for paint (using a different place now) Interior out as well as lower dash and heater box. Will get that all replaced while i can.
Oh, if anyone has a westmoreland front end for sale for a sensible price, im listening….Attachments:
see, told ya! 😀
it dont half make a racket when the prop falls off! Glad you found it before dropped.yeah, being booked in with Resto Shack in Exeter. Stripped to a bare shell (by me in the coming weeks) and sorted to a good standard. followed by 30 years more service hopefully. My daughter is already claiming future ownership!
Pretty normal to be honest, and a lot better than some I’ve seen.
Well worth sorting now, rather than later.its been decided the car is getting completely stripped to a bare shell and getting restored. I’ll then build it back up at my leisure.
1st job i chose was removing all the arch and sill trims, showing off all that lovely rust! 😀Attachments:
Congrats! i had a similar noise, from a similar area. Then my prop fell off! 😀 check all the bolts are in between prop and angle drive rubber disc
