BaileyMex Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Posted January 1, 2012 Can you believe something as basic as a set of VGC rear door cards are SOOOOOOO hard to find I know you can buy then brand new but at well over a hundred quid I'm struggling to justify paying that much for things we used to throw away back in the day
Big_man Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 Well I almost wasn't going to make any shows this year as I nearly took a crow bar to the fez!! It took me a whole bloody week just to change a turbo . But not to fear the light is near
tazrocks88 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 here is hoping that i can finally get mine done this year its beein 5 years in the making and the only thing left to hold me up is the interior and a short ish list of exterior and engine stuff i cant wait
russ105e Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 I've only got a few bits left to do on my mk2 , but it's been that way for a while
BaileyMex Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Posted January 1, 2012 Get the winter blues out the way and then we can all crack on and get them ready, I'll be the first to admit that in this weather it's hard to find the motivation to spend all day at work and then ditch the family and kids and spend all weekend in the cold outside OSF bigger and better in 2012
RossMK2 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 sort of. still gotta finish front suspension, change master cylinder and swap my whole interior to my new one. why isn't there more time in the world.
turnover Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 i need to find a descent car to start with,got 70 percent of the parts but need car to start with
Savvi Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 I'm hoping to get my mk1 Estate sold so i can spend the money on doing something to the others. Ive decided that im just going to bolt the van back togeather and use / enjoy as it is !!!! I think it's easy to get carried away having it all looking nice and losing the fact that it's still good fun to use in any roadworthy condition, my van has been parked up for nearly 3 years now, it's time to get it out &about again. My 2 door is needing paint under the bonnet then i can get that one running as well
SebringRS Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Mine should be done tail end of February, can't wait, first year im able to actually drive to a show and not be driven Which means this years CF Show will be a weekend event for me Usually go to Billing saturday instead, but ill go billing in the morning on the saturday and then shoot to Pod after But yeah as others have said, loads left to do, one being paint the damn thing Got few little things to add, got my new carpet to go in, which means seats out Rev counter to fit, get it lowered, fit new wheels, get decals bought and fitted All should be done by wheels day
