Cheers for looking

Liking the engine. I see the bay is now black, is the yellow outside staying or is that going black too?

Thanks it is starting to come together now..

The yellow is staying I have spent today fitting the rear window and side decals will post some images tomorrow..Looks SWEET!!!!

Still undecided what to do with the wheels though, I have a spare set of g60's but they look to big on the car..May go for standard gti rims….what do ya think???

Thats better………

That is looking wicked mate....very nice.

Thanks….

Bugger I have already ordered new front door cards and also a new headlining….How much you want for the washer bottle I don't think i have one..

Sorry mate - my signature means that I am looking to buy those items… also looking for them but reckon i will just use my rear washer bottle for the front.

Early door cards…. that is a tough one!

Good luck mate.

Ha i see now…I think it will do the same with the washer bottle as i only have a rear, It will free up some room in the bay also…

As for the door cards i dont know anyone with any but i have ordered mine new from: http://retroretrims.mfbiz.com/ not a bad price..
I have not got them yet but i will let you know what there like when i get em..

yeah check the washer bottle thread…. http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=111553

let me know what the door cards look like.

cheers.

Hi,

Are the door cards covered in leather and if so, would you mind saying how much it was for the pair?

Thanks,
D

Hello,

Mine are not leater, i went for the cheaper option, they were 55 i think. But you can get them in leather from retro retrimmers, there link is below
