It must be a good colour because even Mrs Tea likes it, and she is notoriously hard to please.



So, job one was to get rid of the stupid goonie boy stereo system.

All this junk.




It seemed a shame to take it out as it was so nicely fitted.

Look here.




That big red dustbin and the amplifier thing were just rolling about all over the boot, which was nice.

It did prove remarkably easy to remove, as despite the use of weapons grade cable, all the connections were just half heartedly twisted together and taped up.

One slight tug on them and they all fell apart.

Before I start any mechanical work I needed to clean out the inside, as the PO was a real filthy pikey, judging by the state of it.

I've taken the seats out and given it a once over.




It still neads a bit more work, but it's a start.

What's more, he must be a real tight wad, as I only found 35p under the seats.

Another reason for removing the seats was...




I think I may need to fit the seats from the black one...


The PO said 'you'll love driving it'

Well, I don't know what he was used to driving but the thing is a feckin death trap.

It was MOTd about three months ago, by Stevie Wonder.

There is that much play in the wishbone bushes you can move the front wheels back and forth by about two inches.

When you drive it, it weaves all over the road, yeah, I loved that...

Just as well I bought all the bits for a complete steering and suspension rebuild for the black one then...

So, all in all, I have to conclude that the PO is, infact, a complete dildo...

But...

There is another dildo in this story too, the new owner, for buying it.


Though I have to admit;

I was secretly half pleased that it needs all of the bits that I have stocked up with for the old one.


Well, I like a challenge.

Told you it was a bit of a turd, the seats worn like that as the clutch is so stiff it literally takes the pressure on the seat every time you change gear, I am surprised the cable hasn't snapped its that heavy.

You will sort it.

Tea, should you require any A pillar trims to hide the hole made by the expertly fitted tweeter I can send you some. They are without the ultrasonic fairings though.

That would be nice, PM me with details of what's what if you would.

Ta.




I got them here.

You really need the proper crimping pliers to do them, they are not expensive; from the same place.


I've not done much as I have been really busy at work, 16 hour shift yesterday.

When I looked at the car this evening I found myself lamenting the lack of the GTI 6 badges on the doors on the three phase.

Some time ago someone pinched the ones off the back of my black car.

I got this to replace it, but hadn't fitted it.




I removed the 6 badge from the black car and stuck them both on the new one.




I don't know if they look a bit chavvy?




I would have preferred some chrome GTI badges but I could only find the later smaller ones, and I don't think they look as good next to the '6' as the large ones do, so red it is.

Looks a totally different car to when you got it now on the inside at least.

Thanks mate.




Cheers, even Mrs tea said they looked ok.


This evening I finished scrubbing the doorcards.

I bought some dettol multi surface cleaner as it was on offer for a quid and I have been using it to scrub all the interior plastics, it works very well.

I did the driver's side first.

I used some of that foam upholstery cleaner on the fabric bit of the doorcard and the dettol stuff on the rest of it.

I then jet washed it all off.

The fabric came up great as it was filthy to start with, the plastic came up good too but the handle part turned white!

I went to the shop and bought some proper car cleaning stuff to do the other doorcard for full up pay through the nose money to do the passenger side one.

That b**tard turned white too!

After a root through the cupboard I found some tyre foam, worth a try I thought as the handles feel a bit 'rubbery', and luckily they turned black again.

Someone in the past has changed the driver's door handle, you can tell by the crap rattle can paint job on it.

When you open the door, the handle sticks a bit and you have to push it the rest of the way down.

I will either change it or paint it properly at some point, but whilst I had the doorcards off I thought I might aswell have a look.

The rod which comes up from the door catch was held in with some kind of blu tak stuff.




I decided it would be better if I just took out the little plastic clip which the rod locates in and re fit it the right way round.

That way I don't have to take down one of the nipper's one direction posters to nick any more blu tak.

Honestly, some people should just leave things well alone.
