Some progress...
Long driveshaft removed & 2 new CV boots with re packed CV joints.
Exhaust removed & refitted with correct rubbers & clamps.
New complete air box sourced, along with 2 spare chargers and a standard chip/pulley.
Yokohama A539 185 50 14 Tyres ordered.
Rear badge sourced (in pieces) which I've slowly rebuilt (pic below), I will use a vinyl repair kit from ebay.de - I've already done the front & it looks bang on for 4 Euro (pic below). Sourced a new genuine front too as a spare.
Rear wiper & motor re fitted.
Oil, filter & air filter - Quantum Synta.
Fitted new passenger wing mirror with all correct door hardware. I picked this up from a chance meeting with a guy in my local who said he'd stripped a MK3 years ago & had one in his shed - turned out to be mint for a fiver!
Touched all stone chips / blemishes up with a genuine Windsor blue touch up kit from VW parts international. Wax oiled the underneath & given the rear brake pipes a good clean & re coat as some of the paint had flaked off.
New header tank fitted.
New number plates fitted with 'Trust Volkswagen' strips underneath for a cleaner look.
Replaced the tie wraps holding the fuel pump carrier on with bolts & rubbers. I welded some M6 bolts to the L brackets then sandwiched some rubber blocks between the carrier & the bracket then secured with a washer & nyloc nut.
New genuine charger belts.
Interior stripped & re -fitted with good used rear shelf supports with Alpine speakers in rear, removed all old ICE wiring & freshened up the general staleness. Interior is decent to be honest & still has its split/fold rear seats.
Been using the car every day & it's performed well so far. Got a nice folder building up with some original documents like sales brochure & spec sheets. This car is really getting under my skin!
Next job is to refurb the 13s & 14s & fit tyres. I'm also thinking I might fit an alloy rad.
Cheers.
