      But no really, I like to look distinguished when I step out of the car. People are like, "wonder what he does for living."

      I had fixed half the broken crap but that just meant it was still halfway inoperable

      • messed around with the linkage today and was wondering what was causing so much play (5-10mm of play throughout linkage) and saw that almost all of the bushings were either missing or worn, so just ordered some new bushings. i want this thing done by vdubs in the square.

                also took the car for its first drive yesterday after installing the new bushings, great news is that reverse works, bad news is that it doesnt select first properly :')

                • Sounds like it's a normal MK1 gearbox.

                      • Any electrically operated horn will do (not air horns). Mount it anywhere at the front.

                        • I got a spare horn you can have man, and I'll show you were it mounts. Pop around one afternoon this week.

                          • golf went in for rego today!

                            it failed

                            only on some very minor points however

                            - left low beam not working
                            - reverse lights not working
                            - battery insecure
                            - oil leaks - repair and clean
                            - rear engine mount missing bolt (i was so dumb, i had the bolt sitting ready to go in)
                            - exhaust loose where extractors connect
                            - fit proper fuel cap
                            - rear tyres starting to separate (new tires are coming in soon)

                            • That's not too bad.

                              When are you taking it through again?
