 Green machine! Posts: 585  Location: Bromley, Kent | Thanks mate appreciate it  , to be honest the windows were pretty easy to fit. i bought a nut riveter of eBay. the holes that are already there but coveted they was only little plastic covers. Took them out, used the riveter to put threads into the holes and then rest is just putting the windows in mate. | ||

Green machine! Posts: 585 Location: Bromley, Kent | Went down to Worthing yesterday to collect two rear arbs dunno what I'm going to so yet might double but in the other hand might sell one. Been waiting for a rear arb for a while and only thing left to complete full GTI spec is front shocks so there next  Thought I'd put this up, 3 hours later after cleaning the car...  | ||

 Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947  Location: Bromley, Kent | This car was fully welded up by Sean the other day. There is no rust on the car at all now. 6 locations needed welding. Driver's jacking point, passenger jacking point, driver's side rear seatbelt anchor, rear arches in boot and a small patch to the rear the floor pan, not sure what you call it. Haha                   | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | GTa decided it needed a new wheel bearing on the rear passenger side. About 0 degrees outside.  How we love cars.    Old bearing pretty fooked.  Cool carpark photos.    The end. | ||
