Rain? What's rain? We don't get that in Oz. My grandfather says he saw some back in 1968.

Love how the Golf is going though.

small update the old chrome bumpers were just starting to show there age so i bought some polished stainless steel ones as i started to swop over the parts i decided the other old parts just werent clean enough so ibought new end caps
the problem was the rubber strip that runs through the middle werer genuine ones i couldn't bring myself to replace them with non genuine ones, after some searching i found a pair of nos genuine ones i was a very happy bunny ! as these have little tags that just go over the end caps a nice little touch






some chrome goodies arrived enough chrome to do all the window trim

bonnet catch and door pins
