well thouight i would give a lil update

aint really done much to it lately. it broke 2 vv joints in one week which was fun. cheap gsf parts so now using a genuine vw bit which feels a lot heavier and more sturdy. so hopefully that will last.

took it up the pod to test the driveshafts got a 15.1 which aint to bad seeing a s i werent giving it any. but the main thing is that it didnt break. ( it was getting me down all the breakinness)

anyway have been slowly getting rid of all the sound deading in the boot and respraying going to try and do the whole inside but its such a boring life draining job. but ill get there eventually. lol.

tidyed up the engine bay a bit. still needs loads of work in there though :(

.

apart from that aint done much else. iots getting some new tires this week. need to get a uprated engine mount after modified nats. then (if it doesnt break again) get all the bushes uprated get some collies. then hopefully get to work getting the bloody interior done ive been on the look out for something intersting and comfortable seat wise but nothing has caught my ear yet. but ill let u all know if i do find something.

(sorry if that was boring ) lol

did the vr6 seats fit straight in or did you have to get frames made up?
