Been going through "poor boys trim restorer" like nobody's business recently, trying to get a bit of life back into my plastics. It's pretty good but seems to fade after a few days.
Purchased this gear and got it through the post yesterday:
Seems to have worked quite well:

Having just spent the best part of two weeks in and out of Hospital after an operation I'm taking a weeks holiday fly Fishing in the Alps.
So in about 7 hours from now you'll find me here!
Four of us in this lodge on the lake, does it come any better.
The only downside is I had planned to take my Mk1 with me and my Wife the 4x4 with our dog and stuff.
But as the weather is looking a bit ify with from time to time some heavy thunder storms I've decided to leave him at home.
Which is a great shame because the photo opportunity is massive, see first picture!
Oh well have fun with whatever you're doing with your Mk1's and I'll be back in 7 days!

Be proud of your VW Golf Mk1, it's very special!

Got mine back from the trimmers with a newly trimmed dash, wheel, custom door pods and new mohair roof
That looks great; who did you use?

Alpha auto concepts in Huddersfield. They do loads of T5 installs and retrims. They did the rest of the interior as well. Pretty happy with the resultsKevMk1Tdi said

In in the meantime I reversed my passenger sidelight that appeared not to be working at the weekend, and also spent time cursing at my rear number plate lights which I can't get working. Let's hope the MOT retest is kind…..

So far this month have managed to rack up over 1,000 miles more out of necessity rather than pleasure as I have needed to drive in some rather inclement weather this summer.
However a drive in the Golf is a sure fire way to lift the blues.

Few more pics of the interior as requested:
Will also update my progress thread if anyone is that interested
There are too many online users to list.
