well done Petr, great to see it being used and lived off ! Being a Mk3 you don't have the luxury of the additional airflow being scooped in from the duct behind your head ala all previous Mk's I am guessing they thought it didn't make a difference, or the radiators in the mk3's were perhaps much larger / efficient.
your mufflers being drilled, good move, I also drilled the edge of the can at its lowest point (if that makes sense) so water couldn't sit in the cans.
nice use of the ratchet strap for the track bashing. Lynn is correct in what he is saying with regards to best practice to break the track at the sprocket, however, I have also had success breaking the track like you did.
quick tip (unless you know this already) when putting the track back together remember to loosen the front idlers so they slide to their rear most positions, it helps a bit, plus you have all the adjustment again when it comes to re tension.
I have no doubt you did this, but thought I would chime in anyway.
its never stopped me before !
Cheers
Richie
