na, you can spray anything. one of the benefits to spraying is that if the wheels do take a hit, the paint doesnt crack like powdercoat can. but its swings and roundabouts from what i understand
Wheels have been blasted with a nice fine grit and are silky smooth. Etch primed and ready to go off for paint. This photo really set me along the hyper silver route and not the powder with flake that thay had before.
well... my talents know no bounds in that i drove the Golf to my parents today, it pissed down and the rear windows are 100% dry on the inside and the seal has performed as expected.
Finished off the loom for the pop out windows, its a fused, ignition live triggered relayed one, so behaves exactly as the front windows and won't drain the battery
So its all in and works a treat. I have to take the brackets off and paint them black, then put all the trim back in now but thats just a minor thing to do IMG_20210819_213155 by Laxadams, on Flickr IMG_20210819_175337 by Laxadams, on Flickr IMG_20210819_175334 by Laxadams, on Flickr IMG_20210819_213216 by Laxadams, on Flickr IMG_20210819_213236 by Laxadams, on Flickr
That's really cool. I like the idea if the 2nd set of window switches. How waterproof are the pop-outs?
been talking with some of my mk2 friends about next steps. Basically, fuel system upgrade / Refresh MK3 tank - used Loom connection for the Tank VR6 pump - New 1H0-919-651/Q ? Inline Filter - New other items required. drivers side roof gutter with good seal C pillar trims - need to get the part number
found a good link for an electric sunroof guide.. so that will be on the list of mods https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=93758.0
not much to update, life has been busy! IMG_20210827_211551_659 by Laxadams, on Flickr BBS Painted and going back together IMG_20210827_144621_594 by Laxadams, on Flickr IMG_20210827_171515 by Laxadams, on Flickr
So, I’ve got a set of these coming from dodgy. I’d love one of them wiring kits you’ve made up. Any pictures of the inside? How you’ve sorted the C pillar trim etc? looks wicked Apart from the wheels, they’re just meh
i'll get some phots of it with the trim on... i had to bodge the first one a bit but the second went on well.. i'll ultimately order 2 new trims and get it perfect on them. Wiring is easy, i'll do a write up on whats required and tag you. Simple loom, just a relay and fuse to switches which can be easily replicated
I probably have 2/3 sets spare in the shed. I’d rather you just make it for me because I’m a useless snowflake but thanks
you are the guy in Japan working... this would suggest you are not "useless" and infact have some skills.
