    Not sure, they are height, rebound & dampner adjustable. I need to check the adjusted on the bottoms as i forgot to see what it was set to & the rear need more height adjusted. I did set the top (dampner?) to 50%.

    I decided to replace the rear cut down bushes and get some poly ones top/bottom on there:

    Picked up the wheel centres & back halfs & placed the 3 pieces together & took some pics:

    They photograph well enough though they are no show wheel and i will use them on track later on.

    Brillant road legal !!

    Seems a shame to have to get a number plate on the front, but cable ties can be cut off !!
    tip if you are doing it that way either a number plate holder or actual plate can have a foam/felt glued to the back not to mark what ever it's against

    battery looks tidy [%]

    Cheers all

    I have magnetic number plates made by Michael Wright "pascal77uk" on there.
    The front one i also put some masking tape behind it in case just for the 1st trip to the MOT station as there wasn't a great area for it to stick, i put it over the large hole on he passenger side of the front panel (i might put it in the windscreen on a trip).

    MOT wise got given some tips on a few things things i just missed out which i am sorting out now.

    Wheel info.... nuts just arrived while typing this :-)

    Was great to be able to team up with vw heritage & the Nothelle family with their famous golf.

    camber/tracking were the main problems worked on...amazing help by Chris Eyre and Paul Haslam going well out of their way assisting us to get to the show.

    A replica of the oldest Mk1 Golf racing car (right), next to a replica of the most famous.


    Looking great from every angle:
