Make sure to wear a respirator when working with mould  :smiley: Such a shame though, how'd it happen?

Fingers crossed you can get it sorted. Seems a shame to just let it sit there.

There was a leak coming from somewhere that took us ages to find - we eventually found it to be the sunroof drains. So that was sorted but the car has obviously been so damp it's now a breeding ground for mould  :ashamed:

I've not used a respirator so far, I'm obviously an idiot haha. I'll try not breathe it in from now on.

Just a quick post to mention that shes now back on the road! Came back to life in February and I've managed 700 miles or so now with no issue! Dropping the car off tomorrow for a full respray so watch this space 😍

For MOT she had new pads on the rear, new OSR caliper, front discs and pads as well as new bonnet hinges.

Service was also done last weekend, first time I've ever done it myself!

Yay.

It’s very satisfying servicing your own car.

So an update then! A full respray courtesy of RM Bodywork in East Kilbride, Glasgow.

Also, two new front wings (didn't know they were cheap chinese sh*te as they came off another mk5 so will need to buy genuine ones) and a new bonnet as well as repairs to both rear quarters and the passenger side sill. Rear bumper re-aligned and splitter fibreglass repaired as I'll probably just put another hole in it...







I've fallen in love with her again!! 5 years ownership come August and she's still my baby.

September - Went to edition 38! Oh and I bought a house too  :grin:

October - Bought air-ride - and a cat!

November - lost interest again & upgraded the daily to a F56 Mini Cooper D!  :confused:

April 2020 - quarantine got me boredom buying, so got some xenons! Need a polish and some adapters and I'm good to go

First drive in 8 months - May 2020

Popped her up on the ramp to see what she'll need for an MOT but the car wants for absolutely nothing! Should fly through, but no point testing it just now as I have other plans...

98484486_10219015896242536_9073438465172963328_n by morgenn, on Flickr

Swapped it onto my other halves 19" speedlines for MOT purposes (I need tyres and haven't decided on wheels yet)
99136378_10219015898362589_4006243329321730048_n by morgenn, on Flickr

Bought some IDF camber arms and a spoiler extension! Needs painted as it was on an ED30 with some funky glittery green paint.

This is the start of the boot build... Cable running time for the audio. I've decided on a 12" sub but the one I bought years ago isn't going to be good enough so Adam has said I can run his until he needs it! So we're basing my boot build off of his amp & sub. My birthday is on the 24th of May so my Mum will be buying my front speakers too so it's all go!

This was yesterday evenings job! Woodwork. Went to b&q for the essentials and started building the frame. Adam did most of this as I'm inept, but I did try to help where possible!

Worked out exactly where I wanted each component to go.. Starting to take shape at this stage!

Tonights efforts! Wires all run and all components bolted down

My radio hasn't worked since 2017 when the RCD510 was fitted as the connections on the back were different.. Adam made it fit and now I have radio again!

Boot after a hoover

So tomorrow or Saturday we'll need to do another B&Q trip for more wood. The sub box has still to be made up and I'll need a sheet of MDF to complete it. I have a few little bits & bobs to order up so I can imagine progress will slow down now! Adam has other things to do as well but hopefully the car will be nearly ready by the time I go back to work!
