Well, everything is mounted:






Nankang NS2R TW 180:







Last week, i saw this open air with a 'f****d engine' but very nice paint conditions, i could not refuse it..








It has serveral small things, but that makes it more fun! Sunroof doesnt go open, with the last owner its never been open cause he's been told by the first owner, its broken!
SO, got out the motor, and saw the problem. Bought another replacement part so its nicely and neat again !!






Well nice to meet you guys!

Welcome

Lovely 6n GTI. Nice to see another 6n GTI owner on here

@alexperkins: Thanks man love it too... cant wait, it will have APK -> yearly dutch road legal check this comming week ^^



Today, was a great day here in holland, and i manged to take off the openair. Its a hell of a job to take everything apart but, it worked out. The openair was stucked, the motor worked, but stopped at some point. I took litteraly everything off to see where, and there it was. A small screw 'Screwed it up' was stucked in the thing that has to slide open. (sorry dont know the word).
It was closed for over 3 years, and its open agian!!

For all the content together, i'll upload some etka photo's maybe its handy for people in the future.




The Roof.





There it was, the screw was stucked in the 'corner':

All new grease to make it ready for the summer! Also i got my ebay replacement gear for the OpenAir motor:

Productive days! -> OpenAir roof cleaned, but its time for the steam cleaner. I did not get the green stuff out of it. *hell job haha!



======================================
The track polo needed an adjustment on the shocks, it was to low for the new NANKANG NS2R tyres. there was 1 shock, completely stucked, sadly i had to force it his way free haha... But, its all working very smooth again! :thumbup:




















:tu:

Cleaned the roof for the 2nd time. With a water vacuum cleaner

There we go:
