Adolf the Golf
Clarky:
Polish done! Doesn't look too different in the pictures but much better in the metal. Have Mobile paint repair man coming out next week to look at the rust bubble on the rear arches and to look at the i3 bumper that some knob hit in tesco carpark. I have to rely on karma for that bit of justice. I cannot imagine hitting someone's car and just buggering off..maybe its just me.

Well...the dent man only wants to work on newish cars with no rust so that is on hold...have decided to treat myself/ Adolf to a Forge Twintercooler, currently hiding it from the wife as she would kill me. Thinking is this is plenty good enough for what it is and current plans, but I can always add an S3 intercooler to improve should the need arise. I dunno, just felt gutted about the body repair quote and spent some of the money set aside...could have bought anything at that moment. Probably a good thing it's small enough to hide and will make no visible difference to the car!

So today is fitting day for the Foge Twintercooler and also going to adjust the coilovers a bit...too many pot holes around here and I am being forced back into work so gonna have to use it a bit more than I wad hoping to. The twintercooler is okay to fit but the cutting of the hoses is a bugger of a job to do! Wish they were pre cut to length ,that would have been lovely! Other than that it is a good opportunity to have a good clean under the car and have a poke about too ready for new tyres and a CV boot next week.

Decided to give the front arch liners and under trays a proper good clean up while they were out and the car had a wash too. Just need to find front and rear alloy hubs, wishbones, better calipers, sort the rust, sort the curbed wheel, the headliner, and then I'll settle down a bit! Mk5 Golf= Forth bridge.

Yesterday was 4 new Pirelli tyres, the cam follower ( came out looking like new anyway apparently) and a bearing too courtesy of Fastfit in Cheshunt. Can't do tyres myself, bad enough on the mountain bike let alone a car and while they had it a few niggles ticked off the list too.
