Morgens ED30 No. 1871 - New suspension & audio!

[Morgen]

So, I've been a busy gal lately! No improvements to the car really, just repairs
Noticed at cumbriavag that my windscreen had been cracked. Damn stonechips. My MOT is due 16th of July so I've now got this fixed.. Put the car in for its MOT on Friday & it failed of course.. See picture

Don't laugh about the registration plate... They said they'd stick it on for me but clearly couldn't be bothered :(

But anyway - saturday went & got two new tyres for the front, went down a section size & raised it slightly too so now there's no reverse rake and more importantly, no scrubbing! Then my boyfriend sealed up the exhaust. Happy days - car should now pass no bother! In for retest today :)

Spent Saturday night gutting the interior, hoovering, treating the leather, rubbers and plastics etc then five hours on Sunday cleaning the exterior. Look how beautiful she is now!!

[Morgen]

Looks clean... Very clean. Good work.

Thank ya! She is rather shiny.. Paintwork's not too bad but there are a good few scratches on it so could be better 

Car looks stunning credit to you!!!!

Thaaaaaanks!

It could always be better until you start (like I did) getting quotes for full re-spray. Even then you'd not be happy because the engine bay isn't as clean... It's a slippery slope.

I've had a quote for a front end respray... But I've since scuffed the rear bumper on a stupid bit of rock & noticed it has slight lacquer peel too! So a full respray would be needed. 

Cleaned the engine bay too yesterday as best I could, but half of it is missing so that annoyed me more than the dirt did 

[Morgen]

Passed her MOT now, all gravy until 16/07/16! except the cv boots, those will get done next month

[Morgen]

Top mounts arrived from Australia and were fitted yesterday.. No more horrible knocking noises from the front! The dampening has also been adjusted and for how low it's sitting it's literally the comfiest thing ever  ... Quite possibly may have lowered the front again too 

Happy days! I'm on a stand at the Scottish car show next Sunday.. Then the following week it's time for Scottishvag! Busy busy 

[Morgen]

So, I take my dogs in the car and Imve decided that the rear bumper was gonna get hit with a rotary.. Boyfriends going over it for me just now but I know realistically that it needs fully repainted :( hopefully these look better once it's done!

[dazza]

could get one of these.

could get one of these.

Had a carbon fibre one in my ebay basket since December and keep forgetting to press buy it now this is definith the point I should buy one..


They look a lot better! Not sure how thick my paint is so didn't want to go over it again & find out the hard way that it wasn't very! So it was left as so:


Before


After!


Before..


After!


Not sure if my pictures show a difference because I'm posting from my mobile & haven't looked at them yet.. But can definitely see it in person ️

Hahah, maybe he's broken..



Got fed up of my GTI badge being missing at the front due to the clips snapping off. I've just superglued the edition30 badge onto the bottom & now glued it onto my grill as a permanent feature! That'll do

That guy asked me twice "what the rydell edition is?" :D think someone's wNting your attention @rich83

See what you mean about the grill, have a look into the magnets, quite an easy little project :thumbup:

And some plastic revive for that bottom grill ;)

[Morgen]

I think that bottom grill is completely past it to be honest! The other three are brand new so when I get paid I'm just gonna spend the £14.22 to buy a new one.. Somebody linked me to one previously in this thread 

I've spent a small fortune this month getting it through an MOT so no more car parts for me until payday, no matter how small
