Took some of it apart
Yea your right there, I don't mind as it's very satisfying when done
Decided to give the rear disc guards a freshen up as the rust on them annoys me no end, really should of done that first but I forgot until I was putting wheel back in and it looked awful.
Not perfect but certainly better than what it was

Get some POR15 on there and you'll never have to do them again.

Is it a spray or a brush job?
Looks to me as if some bits are missing

I brushed it on. Smooths out perfectly. Put it on new discs but gave them a few weeks to rust before applying it. That should be it for the life of the discs.

Brilliant must get some
Me too, save me sitting on a Saturday head busting from fumes intake
fitted new rear shoes and a brake cylinder to the mighty Swift, braking like a champion now! just need to get someone to help me bleed the brakes properly as the cylinder was burst so the fluid was pissing out of it.
also trial fitted the MR2's standard wheels on it.....do not like but it was worth a try.
now just to service it and give in a clean tomorrow and it's ready for the road!

It's the bits that are left over when I've put it back together that I'll be worried about lol.

Give the Passat a good clean inside and out mostly anachem products then some Poorboy's black hole and some c2v3. It also got 4 pirelli's a few weeks ago. Car is serving me well until I get back into something good once new house it built 
We must be related
That's why my wife calls my DIY as destroy itself yourself. Needless to say I am not allowed anywhere near electricity, plumbing or any other product that requires physical tools. j44nty

Diagnosed and fixed a broken wire for the rear window release on the heep. Dogos won’t be too hot now in the summer.

Fitted a new alternator, new thermostat and replaced the coolant on the mk4 Golf. One more issue to resolve and hopefully that is it.
Been never ending with this car since I bought it. Not so cheap after all. Amongst the smaller jobs, it has had inner door handle replaced, new door lock, new alternator, new aux tensioner, new aux belt, arb bushes, track rod ends, driveshaft, lower arms, and thermostat.

Reading things like this worries me when looking a cheap runaround! Worse still when I'm after something decently quick too
