82 Cabriolet S3 TFSI TSR conversion
The first card i've made up is the one that has the filler on it. I know it's not the best but it was a first attempt and i got better on the second as seen in the pictures.
I've only managed to get the first layer of fibreglass onto the second car at the moment as i've ran out of resin When i get the resin i'll crack on and get it finished. I've also got to put some more filler on the first card and level it out a bit better.
The cards are off to the trimmers in April so should look a lot better once trimmed
On the first card I countersunk the plastic lugs and they went into the door holes perfectly. When I went to pull them out the new lugs were so stiff that they ripped straight through the ply , so I have got to fill over the holes i made on the first card.
I am thinking of using 3M dual lock on the cards and doors so that the cards are still removable without having to screw into the doors but I need to see how thick the two pieces will be once stuck onto the door.

Stripped down my doors as well so that i could get the chrome trim off and polished up.

The 6n2 dash is also being fitted as well and the car should be finished in about 3 weeks. I have also took the seats and door cards up to be trimmed today and should be ready for about 3 weeks time as well.

No engine shots yet as the car is still at the body shop waiting to get finished off. Once it goes down to TSR I'll get them to send me some progress shots.

I bought some dials from speed hut in the states last year sometime and with the 6n2 dash going in I was wondering on how to fit the dials in place of the originals ? I thought of putting some perspex in and mounting the dials to that , but after getting the dials out to look at them and getting the originals I wondered if they'd somehow fit into the originals. I managed to remove the clear perspex from the dials and by ding this they fit perfect
Really happy at the outcome !!! what do you think ?

I really liked the look of the dash in the car but have had to put the standard dash back in for the time being. I also was told that my door cards had warped as well and that the trimmer hadn't trimmed them. I'll find out some more info on these on Monday.
On the plus side the car has been painted and i'm really happy with the colour when the sun hits it , it looks amazing !! body shop have run over by a few days , so instead of taking the car to TSR yesterday i'll now be taking it this Thursday coming.
What do you guys think of the colour ?
