  1. How can I protect my fuel pump from corrosion? I've got a 1994 1.9 Gti which is a LOOOOooooNG term project. I'm on about my 4th fuel pump. Every time I buy and install a new one, then sadly don't progress anything for a while, the fuel pump either fails (which is why it's the first thing I check) or I take it out, and it's COVERED in corrosion. Tried painting it with Hammerite then left it in petrol overnight, EVERYTHING had peeled off. Has anyone else seen this problem? Why don't they coat fuel pumps with something which is corrosion resistant? Why does SO MUCH corrosion occur inside a dry-stored fuel tank??? Suggestions welcomed :-)
  2. Hello everyone! I have a question that I'm sure has been covered before, but I am looking at buying a GTi to restore over the summer with my dad - not a full restoration, just a car needing a bit of TLC really. I've seen one advertised locally to home but the paint is pretty bad. It is Sorrento Green but I really like the Miami Blue colour, could anybody give me a ballpark figure of how much it would cost to have the exterior only resprayed in Miami Blue? The inside will be sprayed white further down the road, so it's only an exterior and possibly engine bay job. We would do much of the prep work ourselves, if not all of it, so that would bring the cost down somewhat. Thanks!

    Painting A Helmet.

    Couple of questions. Am planning to use car paint. is this a problem? Also what primer should i use first? it's a plastic helmet. Should i use a high build primer for the very small nicks? Should i clear coat the top with some kind of laquer? Is there anywhere that sells a pack of sandpaper so i don't need to bulk buy the different grades? Cheers J
