Wow! Very shiny! IMO it will either look good, or really bad!

could you get me a pic of how the gear cables run to the box? I can't route mine very well without the shift feeling tight! read impossible to move!

shitttttttt. sorry pal. forgot to get a picture!
i'll try and remember to get one tomorrow
finally got the seats in!;
they were a right bugger to fit, still not perfect as they don't slide very well. think i might just get some mk1 front and rear seats in there. the rear seat back bit is quite heavy too….
some cutting welding measuring;
a bit quicker on the D/S seat as i knew where and what to cut…
rawwwwrrrr;
fitted the chrome grill too;
can't really see it in the rubbish light though! might try it again when the suns shinning (keeping my hopes up!)
but put my other single headlight grille on;

IMO the standard grill looks better!
The seats look pretty good!
If you are ever thinking of selling those wheels, you know where to come…

I think I agree with Chez mate about the grill. Well done for persevering with the seats.
Mine has got Vectra recaros in and they just don't feel right to me for some reason. I think they're not quite aligned right.

the power at the minute is enough for now! ![:D](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/grin.png)
whipped the new drums the rear, slight bit of surface rust on them now so, took that off and painted them;
also fitted the new handbrakes;
and finished off the lower strut bar;
and painted it in hammerite!
i'll make a skid plate sometime soon that'll attach to that^
took the stub axles off, but sods law, the last bolt bloody snapped!!!!!!!!!!![:(](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/sad.png)
any ideas how to remove it?
cheers

You got any thread extractors? Try that, just don't snap them! You are really stuffed then.
Maybe hit it with some heat first if you have the facilities.
