Hi all, so having sold off my Golf R last year due to not using it, I decided to have a look around this year and find myself a wee project that I could potter about and have a bit of fun driving it. So I just got myself a 156 petrol that’s only done 40k and 1 owner who also just used it on a weekend 
. Needs some TLC and that started yesterday with a new window regulator and motor on the passenger side, Pipercross air filter and a full deep clean, polish and is booked in for 4 new Michelin PS4’s on Friday 
More expensive than my R for tyres 
Next weekend it’s onto the rocker cover seals to fix the oil leak on the top end, rear discs/pads and change the badges (thx Bex) then oil & filter. Then it will be a stage 2 paint prep and ceramic polish probably in a couple of weeks time ready for some summer fun 
(if the summer arrives in Scotland this year.....) There’s other wee cosmetic bits that I’ll sort out over the summer but once the main things like brakes, tyres and engine are sorted then I’ll get them at weekends, weather permitting 
cheers!

Which part of Scotland are you in ? I'm just north of Inverness.
So I got a complete set from a breakers and then just changed it all together as a unit. It does mean I now have the spare original passenger window motor as it was the cables that had snapped and not the motor, but no probs will either put it on gumtree or eBay for 60 or 70 quid and see someone else alright. Apparently the frost causes the windows to stick on the rubbers and then put strain on the motor/cables so I put silicone spray on the rubbers to prevent it happening again
