So after owning the Manbrolet for 5 years now it was time for a freshen up and a colour change. As the gti has had all the attention for awhile.
So heres the cabby in all its faded glory
Mechanically nearly everything has been replaced from a new steering rack, brake bomb, power steering pump and lines, every bush and link, KW's etc etc and now a 5x112 hub conversion the list goes on.
So the paint was looking abit tired and cracking in a few places due to the high UV here down under. Its been a slow process as Ive dug deeper and deeper under the layers of paint over the years finding repair after repair.
New wheels as well as fakes no longer cut it lol. So will be rebuilding some RH 2 piece 17x9.5 and 10 and a set of 3 piece Autostrada Monza's specs unkown yet but will be wide!
Im probably being lazy too by wrapping the car but its easy and can look good.
So hopefully it will all be done before winter is here in oz and I can enjoy the rest of the summer with the roof down!
