Well I\'ve not driven the golf Last week since the meet due to having other commitments but jumped back on it on Saturday.
Picked up some banded steelies (14x8 driver steels) all with 195 45 14s on, although one had suffered a blow out so has been refitted with a new 195 45 14 yoko I had lying spare.
Tooke the fuse box apart and it was a grot fest inside. Cleaned up all the contacts as best as I could and managed to get the headlights working again via the fusebox, omitting another section of sketchy wiring added by the previous owner.
However the brakes still didn\'t work boo! I\'d already tested the switch which was working fine, and if I fed power to the black/red wire of the rear loom the brakes light came on, so it must be a dodgy internal connection of the fuse box. Just rigged up a circuit from terminal 30 on the fusebox to a fuse to the pressure switch, which then feeds into the rear loom for the brake lights.
Rich kindly donated me a later blade type fusebox and hopefully a loom and I can replace the woeful s1 boxs at the fraction of price of replacing the early fusebox.
Made up an over axle bend for the exhaust as its been half finished since I put engine in and welded a flexi into the system where then downpipe meets the centre box.
The rear system is just a straight through pipe with a bastuck style upswept tip.
Wanted to weld on hangers but ran out of gas
however the mid box is still sitting to low despite moving it further towards the front of the car to clear the handbrake cables, so think I\'m just got to fit a straight through pipe in place of the midbox and use the midbox as the rear silencer.
Finished up this evening by sticking the wheels on, will get some more gas tomorrow and crack on with the rest of the exhaust , hangers and if I get some time, some seat frame adjustments to the new seats.
I\'ll grab some pics tomo of the new wheels in the day
But for now
