Could this not be delt with via private messages and not on my thread please.

As a site admin I'll deal with it where I deem appropriate. In this case it is in public here.

Well, it looks awesome- I am looking forward to getting mine off the road in about 18 months when my pension starts, has given me inspiration to spend a bit getting it right again!

 

Keep up the great work!

 

I'm not jealous! Much!

Took care of a few smaller jobs today and was hoping to have engine started as I have had it cranking over and have good oil pressure and spark so it was all go only to find my fuel pump knackered and jammed so that put a stop to proceedings so just did a small walk around. I will have to give it a good detail soon as this is just the finish from bodyshop and allready has a good shine.

Only one person with a problem here. I warned you some time ago about having digs at Mei. It seems he has enough self control to not do so. Persuade me why I should not suspend your account as I previously stated I would do on repeat of this?

I don't really think its appropriate weather your site admin or not, if you have a problem with someone then just message them and sort it out?, no need to ruin the guys build thread and saying why you should suspend someone's account is just childish in my opinion,

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

Its coming along nicely Justin, i had the exact same problem when i was starting my car, it stated fine then the next time i couldn't get it to start without banging ontop of the pump, really annoying!

let me know if you find a decent pump as i would like to get a new one for mine

1) I don't think it's your place to say.

2) Folk complain when nothing is seen to be done.

3) Folk complain when things are done behind closed doors and they cannot see what has happened.

4) Are you not disrupting the thread equally as much?

5) Farmer has repeatedly had a dig at Mei, so is it OK just to allow that to continue unchecked?

6) Is it not fair to give someone opportunity to explain themselves?

7) As a moderator you can't really win either way but we do our best to keep the peace.

As a relatively new member to this forum, I have just read this thread from start to finish and I have to say its absolutely top notch.

Great committment to detail and the result speaks for itself, well done and thanks for posting the journey for all to enjoy.

Finally got round to starting the car had a few issues like the tachmetric relay and fuel pump failed but fitted a new pump and bypassed the relay with help from this forum and turned the key and it fired straight up and ticked over at 900rpm so really happy.

Fould a few small leaks one was fuel and one was oil these have been sorted and all looking good will break out the haynes manual and go through setting up the throttle etc but cannot do anything with mixture so will have to go to garage for that.

The car has even moved under its own steam aswell allthough a little difficult to drive with no seats so sitting on a box with a couple of cushions is not ideal. So next on list is to finish all the small little jobs and tidy up some bits then seats in and off for mot then it maybe finished for time being.

Finally got the car running just needs a bit of a tune up took time to finish a few hobs off so really bow waiting for interior to come back then its mot time.

Looks lovely. Nice work.

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Top work Justin, I'm intrigued to see the interior back.

 

Will you drive often?

[woodymi16 24 2 Cars]

Outstanding mate

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

Looks bloody lovely apart from ya driving lights are wonky but at least the grill is straight, I hate to see them wonky

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

sadly thats how the lights sit in bumper and i cannot get them straight design of dimma bumper. I wont be using it much will just be a toy and as for the interior that should be back soon but it might be a bit marmite to some people i think.

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

Are they siems or denjis?

[Juttie205 123 2 Cars]

siems

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

Man that would irritate the piss out of me looks like its normally like that too

 

 

[speno 239 2 Cars]

Nice colour Justin just like mine ^^ You not doing your seats black and blue leather like mine too >?

[GLPoomobile 958]

Looks so awesome. The colour is lovely and really burts with the orange front indicators. Have you considered spraying the mirrors too? I think they would look really good since you don't have any other bare plastic along the sides like a standard GTI.
