But I’m glad you gave me the tip to do it. The end results are awesome.

Has there been much progress?
Sorry, haven't done much more after restoring the roof successfully. My wife lined up big jobs in the garden, and a full refurbishment of my daughters room. After that we'll get back to it.
Not that much more progress, but the time has come today to hand over the keys and teach my daughter to drive.

Can't wait to hear those gears crunch data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Hopefully not between 1st and 2nd* data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
*fairly common problem of a worn synchromesh on the 020 gearboxes
They are a bit of a bugger to get into second gear indeed data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 I've got a feeling she'll be better at it than me. Tomorrow is GTI-Daydata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I lived for 3 years with that “problem”. Turned out a £20 bush kit fixed it the week before I sold it.
I've got the 'refurb' kit ready in the garage which fixes that, and also parts for restoring the feel to get to reverse by pushing down and left instead of just left, just need to find the time data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Also got a short shifter ready to make it a bit more pleasant.
Well the car survived the first lesson data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
She was pretty good realising she went too far with that dodgy reverse gear instead of first and managed to correct. I’m very proud of the new keeper data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Better get my act together and we finish it off together data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
