Hi love the look of your mk1 bet thats fun to drive

Cheers,
Yes its a good bit of fun… it goes a bit quicker than most people think it will.. but compared to alot of the berkshire MK1 cars this is slow…

Hi Neil and welcome along. Like the look of those rear seats. Keep the pics coming.  

Bit of an update…

Seats have started to get put in..




I also have a new full black carpet to go in courtesy of Newton Commercial and some new matching door cards on order from Chris @ Retro retrims.

Both did me a stonking deal on the items and should help finish off the car.
I have a Black knee bar to go in and a Dark blue hood cover to use when the roof is down.

If anyone is after some seats and door cards please get in touch.
Need them gone so happy to do a good deal on price.  

Oh yeah..
New wheels are also on now as well.

Looks great, love the combo of alloys, colour and interior!

Did a bit more over the weekend as i was oncall and unable to stray to far from the house…

Seats are starting to look good. Just waiting on new door cards.


Trimmed the back of the rear seat to cover up the plate that holds the 60/40 bits together.. nice 5 nim job.


Re did the boot trims and false floor with some hard board, 10mm sponge, spray mount and a staple gun.




Sat the false floor up on 50mm plastic foam pads to give a bit of space below and should any moisture get in it wont ruin the trims..
 

Nice work, looking good

Love the seats dude. Nice looking work on the boot as well.  

Just got the heads up from the trimmer.
These are on their way to me this week and will be going in at the weekend. Happy days,

Should look sweet with the rest of the stuff.
