[engine_work] 205 Gti 1.9 Miami Blue

[BlueBolt 156]

 

Header tank isn't fitted in the pictures - the bottle on the other side is the standard screen wash reservoir.

 

I guess I should know that... Will learn to pay more attention to my car at some point...!!

Almost there and if it wasn't for leaving my laptop at home she would have fired up today although without the exhaust on a tad loud

 

So started to install the new Driveshaft's and from being told the brake lines seemed short, well the picture tells all, you cannot even get full lock

I'll let Welshpug guess the supplier

Brake lines, Take 2

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

Brake pipe lengths' As you can see from the OE standard pipe the replaced which was bought as a GTi6 calliper pipe must be all of around 2mm longer

 

But engine's almost there, Just waiting on the Silicone pipes, Exhaust gasket and acc belt

Lmao

Well now that you say that...

Umm......

 

Possibly, in a controlled environment, and all proceeds go to the charity of choice (me) and as long as you can't see a single hard item that the car could possibly hit/touch/scuff!!!

And even the ground counts in that list!! Lmao

 

Thanks for the compliment tho!! You never know, a drive of it may happen some day, I have NO intention of parting with this car ever now!!

We are all up and running now, Just waiting on the water pipes and to order a rear brake compensator as it's one of those years I've had loads fail by not passing any fluid, then I can confirm the mapping date

And a new/recon rear beam... Always a nice cheap surprise to find a seized item attached to the car!! Lol

Planning on making it to the meet in May... Tempted by all of them, even the Scottish ones... I just wanna get back in it and drive it!! Been off the road a long time now!!

 

We should perhaps meet on route and head to it together...??
