Killed some rust



Repaired some things


Refitted the GTI interior


and this was the result the week before

Today i bought some nice toy's that give my project back a boost:

- Wolfsburg GTI steeringwheel



- placed the dashboard back


- made some ice


- placed a luggage carrier and refitted the bumper with smoked blinkers


- Sold my wolfrace 14'inch rims


- Bougt some new 15inch OZ Rims



-And fitted some Hella taillights


Hope you all like it next i wille do the roof and fix the engine bexause my cooling isnt working

Hi, i dont know what you really mean ? to fit the dashboard wasn't a big task only to click in the rear studs wasn't easy. some friend of mine fit a 'tietendash' i think it called in english boobdash from a 77'er into a 82'er and it fits, only the wires where not the same color

cheers

white rims where lovely but i couldn't drop enough with the 1500cc carter so i decided to buy a inch bigger 14 > 15inch and no i'm almost happy with the ride hight my friend bought the wolfrace rims for under his MK2 1300cc and he can go much lower than i so the rims are on his car fantastic   i will post some of the pics then you can see

if i got a 1100cc or 1300cc i wouldn't sold my 14'

cheers

The dash fitted in your car is different to UK dashboards, we have glovebox's that open upwards and so no there is no top tray to place items on.



Nice car by the way!  8)

thanx gav, also gav do you know if that dash comes in a right hand drive

I've never seen a RHD version of that dash, shame as I wouldn't mind one myself.

what dashs are pretty much a straight fit other then a re wire side of it becuase thats got to be the easy right

im pretty sure its a jetta dash, they look sweet.

those dash's are standard on some LHD golfs, i have one in mine and i have also seen a few others on LHD cars  8)
