GTI Project #2
and lastly from the rear
I was going to take a couple of it on the back of the lorry but my friend was busy and I didnt want to put him out anymore. Cant wait to get it back and start puting it back together. I think that there may be a chink of light at the end of the tunnel

So it looks like I'll be using the camshaft, head and crankshaft from the DX engine with the EV block and pistons. Just waiting for word from them then it will be time to fit all the new shells, shims and bearings.
Anyway I popped along to the bodyshop today and took some pics
They told me to come back on friday as they should have some of the panels painted. So Im looking forward to that.

My first view of the old girl with some new paint on
and another
Back home in my garage
and the inside
Then when the lovely weather started I rolled the car out and took some more pics
.
I have since fitted new rear lights and the two door mirrors. Talk about being peed off I marked the sunroof when refitting it However the painter came along for a look for me and its amazing what a bit of wet and dry and a buffer with some cutting compound can do in the right hands. No more mark on the sunroof yeeha.
Off tomorrow to collect some fuel line and brake line and the necessary fittings.

I popped along to Clarick Engineering in Rosyth on monday and bought some 8mm kunifer fuel pipe, a roll of brake pipe and some various fittings, however I havent started either yet.
Bought a new head lining and some material to replace the tatty ones I had for the C pillars.
Ive just been digging things out, cleaning them or painting them or both then fitting them to the car.
I will take some pics of the car tomorrow and post them.
Is it easier to fit the windscreen before fitting the dash?

Wow I can't believe it's been that long since I posted on my thread. A lot of things have been done since then.
Stick something up on it and some pics if you have them. Would be good to see.

Firstly I looked out my wiring looms and reinstalled them to the best I could remember.
Then I fitted the new headlining which I purchased from fleabay, all the way from Lithuania.

It wasn't too bad to fit. Got some carpet adhesive and used that to stick around the windows etc.
I then bought some black vinyl and cut out some new material for the A and C pillars which again were glued in.

If you get chance, would you be able to put a pic up of the texture of the headlining? I was planning to buy one from Newton but seeing a recent post it looks like the material texture is different to the original one.
I've seen the ones on ebay from Lithuania but didn't know if OEM material or same as Newton's?
Cheers
