thesharkfactor 0 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 after 5 long weeks in the paint shop and a near four figure bill..SHE'S READY!!!!!!!nearly a full re-spray.. to keep within budget, i havent done the front bumper and it still has stone chipping. there is 2 stone chps on the car both on the boot lid and un noticeable..still a couple of minor odds and ends to do to make it 100% mint- front bumper could do with paint, and the driver wing mirror case has a crack.. and ive still got the fiddly starting issue with the fuse box.. minor niggles aside.. she's done!.. its been along time and ive enjoyed seeing her come back to life.now will be offered for sale in the next couple of days....

jimmyb 2 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 good luck with the sale mate!looks great,nice thread.shame about the fiddly fusebox thing. Link to post Share on other sites
thesharkfactor 0 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 yeh.. i just need to find out which relay is faulty. when you touch/move the fuse box, you can hear a relay clicking on/off.. i need to pull them all out and clean up the contact points or find the loose wire..no major drama.. she runs sweet and i can say there is noticeably more torque than a golf vr6, it pulls harder and the throttle is very responsive. surpirsinlgy confortable car to drive, great driving position and comfortable seats.. brilliant cross country tool..
