Yup that's right £35 worth of trim clips from vw because the eBay ones lasted about 3 seconds















On the list to do

Change rocker cover gaskit
Spark plugs
Ht leads
Coilpack
Dizzy cap
Rotor arm
Oil and filter
Clean and paint rocker cover
And hope it all goes back together lol

Surely this isn't very pic heavy, but more like ALL THE PHOTOS OF A MK3 in the WORLD ever.

You've definitely put in the reg time though mate, looking good! :happy2:

Looks great, I want it. We need to see more of the splits though. I take it they are from an anniversary? What else are your plans for it?

Mighty me!! Was there any part of the Mk3 you didn't mod/repair/replace!! :-o a well documented ownership though, I like it.

Depending on your taste/needs/funds/timescale I have my Mk5 GT TDi for sale at the minute. Cast your eyes here for a min if you're interested:

Well, got a hole in the radiator!!  :oops:

. Not as straight forward a job because I didn't want to disconnect the aircon, so had to try and slide the old rad out under the aircon rad, but I did it, and fitted the new one today after work

Old one









It's surprising how wel the cold works as a pain killer lol, didn't feel a thing
