Dan's Golf GTI Work

[DangerDan]

Wow they come up a treat man...well done!

Scrubbing the grit and grime on the inside was by no means easy but well worth the effort. Probably need to get them refurb down the track for the grazing.

Also what do people think, centre caps or no centre caps.

[DangerDan]

Also thinking of changing the exhaust from this:



to this:



Any recommendations on where?

[DangerDan]

Also about the whistling in the engine bay, not sure which belt or something cause i've lubricated them several times including rubber grease:





Not sure if the belts are out of line?

[DangerDan]

Finally, this is why i took the g60;s off (no im not crazy). just too wide for the wheels i've got, which i want to keep for a while.

one vote for centre caps!

[DangerDan]

Can anybody recommend a good, reliable place to get a respray, planning to respray whole car soon to fix some of the blemishes and different coloured panels.

Also a good exhaust fitter to change over the tips

Also anybody got any interiors bits and pieces, im searching for some stuff to fix things or replace. Anybody have a uncracked dash?

Might pay to check your timing belt tension, they do whine when done up too tight.

The early golf side trim has gone on today and the holes line up so no need to fill them, just need some small bumper arches or even spats, im not sure.

[DangerDan]

Do the regular steelies centre caps fit on the bottle tops or are they different radius. Also anyone got a neat dash, planning to swap it soon. Also need a uncut parcel shelf.

Can anyone also recommend a good place to fix upholstery or what other seats fit a mk2.

Back bumper on, just awaiting the valance for the front

is it at all possible to repair a cracked dash. Probably not going to find one here or overseas. Just hate the huge hole in it and thick cracks.

Is it hard to do yourself or is it better to get a proffesional?

Close to impossible to DIY, it can be repaired but not cheap, I remember someone has used these guys http://dashboarddoctor.com.au//
