I also took the opportunity to wash the car with the much needed rain :

Also cleaned up the wiring in the boot. Still need some loom tape over it, but it started raining, so I went inside.

I started with cleaning off the engine today. Covered in old oil and dirt - blegh.

Before :

After :

I also polished up the rocker cover yesterday. Didn't overdo it - more of a clean and light polish :

Can't wait to fit this guy :

And my car with the Jetta my brother recently bought :
