We’re doing some major repair work to the house, vet and garage at the moment so I e not been able to work on the car. Busy packing up the tools and parts so that the builders can get cracking on the repairs inside the garage this week.

Finally found a gap to give the Bowie a polish, the brass guard shined up nicely but the blade still has some staining and discolouration. I might need to run in on a polishing wheel and see from there.

Finally found a gap to start testing the electrics in the Golf. #vw #vwgolf #vwgolfmk1 #vwgolfmk1gti #volkswagen #volkswagengolf #hothatch #classiccars #projectcar #projectcars #projectkirschwasser #builtnotbought #tool #carsofinstagram #carrestoration #oem #oemparts #oemplus

I noticed lots of air bubbles going through the fuel filter. Looks like the clamp is giving up the ghost.

I’ve done a major service on the car quite a while ago, this included a coolant and engine flush, thermostat replacement and the usual oil, filter and spark plug changes. She’s running very well for a 53 year old vehicle.

So I made this Bowie inspired knife many years ago. It was the first time I made one of these so please forgive it’s crudeness. I’ve notice that there is a constant discolouration appearing on the metal and I would like to see if I can stop it. I suspect it’s from the sheath I made for it so I will need to make another one at some point. Any recommendations on how to clean the blade up? I was going to try polishing it with a light polish like Brasso or Silvo and see how it turns out.

A quick recap on a new snag that has popped up. Not impossible to get around so we will push on with some help.

Finally managed to expand the firewall hole and pull the wiring harness through to the engine bay, starting to go through it inside and one to make sure I have everything I need to get this car running again.

Getting ready to take her back to the mechanic to have the clutch checked out. Randomly decided to stop gear changing for some reason.

Topped up the radiator and added some Wynns Radiator Stop Leak. Let’s see how things work out.

Just as I was getting her ready to go for a roadworthy inspection, she sprouts a leak.

Fiddling with the car the other night. Fixing previous owners mistakes.

We've been very busy playing catch up from last year. Let me know what you think of the progress. I would love to see some comments and interact with everyone. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Hey guys, Thought I'd do a quick general update. It is a bit jump cut heavy, had to refilm a few items due to background noise.

Hey guys, Just thought I'd turn the camera on this afternoon and give an update. Sorry for the jump cuts towards the end, there was a lot of road noise interfering with the video. It's gonna be fun to get the motor and everything back in and started again. Time to push push push.
