iv given the fork a quick wipe over so the damage (hopefully) shows abit clearer....... looks nasty eh !! it hasn't worn through though thankfully !!, forgot to mention the steerer is just over 230mm long and the fork could do with a strip an re-grease, there is no play in them, they...

not very retro im afraid guys n gals but i figured someone might have a need or use for them :) 1st up are these.... usual scuffs expected on 10 year old forks, but this is a bit more nasty... looks like the rotor bolts have worked loose at some point and munched their way into...

strange you should say that as iv started getting more of those 'must resist' ideas since i found this piccy..... i did end up using a pair of wizard doors on the vw as i wanted frameless doors on suicide hinges - thats was a proper arse ache to get right :shock:

i think an it IT manager must earn a LOT more than a part time s/employed mechanic then as i couldn't even afford the sodding flight, let alone anything else :oops: phew - its a good job i aint a footy fan i guess :D

ahhhh well............ it didnt quite get that far :oops: i finished everything off and it went to a local painter 'car nut' (he's got a b/block 71 corvette with the plate ..HOT 454 8) ) to have the final roof filling/sanding finished off, a few other little bits sorting out and it was...

love the notch and that Ghia is sweeeeet 8) iv also got a bit of an aircooled 'thing', this was my last vw, during 'surgery' :lol: ....... after working on modern cars all day i just love to spend my weekends tinkering with nice old 'simple' cars :)
