Due to the fact that not everyone feels they have to open a thread about their builds (no offence to those who dont want to post up their builds) and maybe we can keep dirk from dying of bordom while his car gets some attention at the paint shop........ go ahead and feel free to post what you did on your car today?

Well, I had to clean and resurrect another dead spark plug...
It's quite annoying, since the spark-plug fouling from by Beetle's Cylinder #3, has spread to the other cylinders too

Re: What did you do on your car today?
Well my bugg decided i no longer needed access to the spare tyre and tyre weld by permanently locking the bonnet. So got in there today with some persuasion got it open , adjusted the cable latch and greased her up nicely, workin like a dream now, while i was dirty topped up the oil and gave the airfilter a good scrub.

Re: What did you do on your car today?
Put Rui's disc brake conversion on. put new sound proofing behind the rear seat. put new carpet over the sound proofing. got a crack in my windscreen this morning that i need to get fixed today. but ya, this is since friday. should have been taking the engine out of the other car but thought stuff it, the bug comes first...
From fastest to slowest:
Birkin race car, not much is standard
Lotus Elise 111R, almost everything is standard
'75 SP 1600 with a few mods
B8 A4 Avant tdi, towing made easy
