[roccodingo]

Looking good Glen, hit us up with some pics of the finished paint job ( clearcoated ).

whatever you do, dont lose the clips that hold the trim around the rear quarter windows, there totally unobtainable from anywhere...

Thanks Jarred and Grant.
The clear is done now , but want to get some parts on to get better idea
of " the look ".
My Brother [ previous owner ] has some neat spoiler / skirt accent
ideas which I will be painting today.
Sort of break up the colour of the car but with accents to draw attention to
these parts. Looking forward to how it looks.
Have lots of wheel polishing and tyre blacking to do.

that looks really good. congrats on getting it painted!

I think taht's a really cool colour, always wanted to do a mk 1 that colour. Speaking of which, what colour is it?!

[Hydro]

it was so close to being Turquoise.........
The colour is Moonstone Blue - Toyota.
Very Metallic.
In sunlight its " Silver ".

I got bogged down on the bumpers today, I thought they were in excellent order.
When unpacked - they were shocking. So too much time spent there.
Spoke to Mathew at Camden GTI, getting brake upgrade tomorrow - hopefully.

Its got one of those Sirocco Signs on it like everyone has
.
I could not find the screws or plugs that hold the Foam Rubber rear spoiler
on.
If any one knows what normally is used for this could they please tell me.????

Brakes will need fair bit of work. Fitting bigger drums and may have to
rebuild Master cylinder.
Discovered two tyres are stuffed [ other two change soon ].
Exhaust has badly fitted muffler [ knocks against spare wheel ].
3 bulbs blown.
etc , etc.

Sorry I missed you mate, glad the drums were just the ticket.

Good to see you rattling along with the progress.

Gutter trim.

Where and what did you find in the way of gutter trim?

I had to pull all the mylar trim off my B1 Passat and I haven't had a chance to figure out what to replace it with yet.

Cheers,

Pete

I will have to take pic of it, it is a chrome [ or stainless ] covering that clips
over the gutter. This may be a different gutter to yours.
Will need to see the pic.
