Been getting it ready for Le Mans!
Spent a full day saturday on it.
New rear beam off a gti6. Lowered it to match (took an age) and put new bearings in the beam and wheel bearings.
New brake pads
Oil and filter change
Brake fluid change
New front tyres
New drop links
New wishbones
New Balljoints
Tracking done.

Also got the roofbox painted up ready to get stickering. Not happy with the spray job, the textured finish to the plastic is coming straight through to the paint layer, so not got a smoth finish, tried a few coats of hi build primer but its not touched it, Not wanting to spend a fortune on rattle cans Ive made do for the few times a year it will actually get used.
