She’s had a de-pit wash , got some nice smelling cleaner and she’s so much better . Have stripped off the rear tub wings , mine are separate as I cut them up yonks ago , all bulkhead bolts are loose , so once she’s dry , I’ll reposition the tub so me doors line up and shut again , big bonus having the day off . Lovely jubbly

The rear wings were looking rough around the edges , so cut them off . Tub is all but done too . Need to get it out of the garage for final line up and tighten . Few jobs I gonna look at in the future , move the rad to the rear , get a winch in the front but not sticking out by a mile , might even get a tube arse end too , but time will tell . One thing noticed , I have to remove me roof to get it into the garage , when I remove all excess weight , I can’t get it in at all , may look to going back to the series screen idea

It's surprising what you can get done on your day off  1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

Cheers dude after a days graft it’s hard work in the evenings sometimes , in the mean time , I have repositioned then tank to the rear , but have raised it to prevent damage at the pit , this will free up the area for a rad and poss central winch . Will weld it all up another night

Great pic's there and the 90 looking right at home

The snorkel worked all okay i take it  1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

Here there , yep the snorkel worked perfectly , although I still don’t think a snorkel is required unless the lake is 4ft plus deep , you can see the air intake is clear because of the bow wave , the pic here is when the lake is deeper , snorkel is needed then

Yes i did notice the vent was visible but you just never know if there is a sudden hole but for sure you need the snorkel when over 4ft deep  1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

Lots of small garage visits today , the drivers side of the tub is fitted and I spent a little time lining things up , behind the scenes are much stronger Ali brackets , bigger bolts and bigger rivets , so much stronger now , more odds n sods ordered , next up , do some wiring
