Re: TD Daily Project

You've only just passed your theory and already have 2 cars? Doing better than me when I was 17 :lol: Even though they're both low spec models LS and E and the polo is 8 years newer, the Cav definitely has a better spec, as the polo only has 2 speakers (front and only the drivers side works at the ...

Re: TD Daily Project

Looks good! Can't believe you got it for that price, especially after he had a new clutch and cam belt etc put on it! You did well! And they tune very well too :D It had the cambelt but it needs a clutch and was why I got before they emigrated, your videos on YouTube were the first time I heard one...

Re: TD Daily Project

Looks a clean car mate. Reg is really close to my old Cav. Yeah it is dude, I'm enjoying the progress on your WIP by the way :thumb , There are a few bits of surface rust underneath so that will have to be sorted and undersealed but the only bit that needs attention so far are the pictured holes in...

Re: TD Daily Project

Cheers Andrei :thumb , yeah I have a fair bit to do, but I plan to take at least a year for a more affordable insurance quote. I also plan to fit front fogs and asking the previous owner he told me that he had seen and wondered what wires in the grill/headlight area were for, so those sound like fog...

Re: TD Daily Project

Looks OK for the price :thumb the rust in the boot may have been caused by the plastic vent above letting water in that's where mine was doing it, you have to take the bumper off then it pops out I used plumbers leak sealer on mine but ordinary silicone will do it as well. Cheers for the tip, will ...

Re: Standard Bumpers with GSI side skirts?

Yeah I would be, the reason I'm asking is that I managed to pick up some gsi skirts at a good price as they didn't come with end caps or door mouldings, as I'm not really interested in the full kit I was wondering what it would look like as it would save time and money looking for end caps and mould...

Standard Bumpers with GSI side skirts?

Has anyone done this? I'm wondering because it seems to line up to where non gsi/turbo front bumpers recess in the centre and it would be something different to do.
