Some nice work being done, spending the money is one thing but it’s so satisfying getting these jobs done. I think secretly we quite enjoy it, gives us something to do  :happy2:

Clarky:
Very true, I am so happy that the majority of the mechanical bits are sorted and hopefully now its just a bit of a tidy up and enjoy for a while. The bonnet strut appears to be on its way out after twatting my fingers fitting the wing ( replaced with broom handle on a temporary basis!) so will order one of those...headlining is a worry for me tbh, especially as its a sunroof model...don't seem to be many options out there.

Clarky:
Back from Le Mans after a little drive down the Mulsanne on Sunday evening! Found a chunk of the wrecked Jota as a souvenir too. Can didn't miss a beat, though a front wheel bearing is starting to protest so a new pair going on order after payday! Hard to find 97-99 Ron fuel in France..the Porsche is a real one with a giant statue behind it..if you have never been it is well worth it..this was my 10th and still magic!

Didn't fully appreciate how long I had left it with just little bits of tinkering till today. Decided as I have 2 days off of work with cars to work on my car. Have removed the front grills to restore the plastic from grey to black. Easy enough to remove, was going to put them in the dishwasher as that works a treat only to be told by the good lady wife that it would be a quick and easy way for me to change my gender pronouns...did it by hand in the sink. Also for Christmas I bought myself a DA polisher and had a practice on the bonnet as I am probably going to replace the panel anyway and didn't want to just go balls deep all over the car. Has made a real difference to it, but it's not Harry Potter's wand so it's still a chipped but very shiny bonnet. I also had the pleasure of having someone swipe the rear wiper jet cover so popped a new one on. I don't want a trailer queen, but just want people to perhaps think " that's pretty tidy for a Mk5 Golf" and for it to be reliable is all. Have also done the interior and used what looks like the kids slime to pick up interior dust and boy does that work too! Topped off my a mighty car mods airfreshener ....just need to find a 5 door sunroof model roofliner, it'll probably be in Atlantis guarded by unicorns and a yeti . Being forced back into the office means a few more miles on it this year so booked for 2 rear tyres soon and a good once over Incase I've overlooked something obvious.
