not much appearance wise has changed at all lately, but i did just get the golf back from European Auto centre in newcastle. after a pretty labour intensive session done on it, the golf now doesnt leak oil! which is great.
a few things a got fixed were:
- rear main seal
- sump leaking
- oil pressure switch leaking and ****ed
- tie rod end
- gear box bushings

booked in on friday for a wheel alignment and it should be running heaps better.

i still want to do all this:
-replace all leads
-new plugs
-get my stockies widened
-install coilovers
-and smoked spottys

but thats all gonna happen after the blueslip

now im gonna go for the blueslip soon but my number plate lights arent working. does someone have a wiring diagram i can get my hands on? the bulbs are fine. they just seem to be getting no power.


cheers.

***edit - found the problem with the number plate. Turned out to be the common problem of the wires getting pinched and chopped in half in the hinge of the door.

Oh man, I was a fan of that schwarz gti. You'll have to do the swap justice by bolting in a 16v or vr6
