cheers mate, glad you like it (was a bit worried it would be slagged off on here)
i'm well pleased with it, and its real quick aswell :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:
its took me 5 months and lots of money!!!
     
but well worth it :wink:

Very nice ride. Theres a lot of things that arent to my taste, but i can fully appreciate the amount of time and effort that it takes to get a car looking that good. Good work fella!!

Good quality job mate - Love the Borbetts alloys - always looks spot on bolted to a MK1 IMO 8)

nice one, although I can't help noticing you need to fit those heater controls properly, I got some for my brothers cabby and they stuck out MILES, and the heater knob itself wouldn't fit in the switch hole. You have to crack the sandpaper / file out and do a bit of fitting on them, they are now flush with the dash just like the stock ones.

Car is looking very nice!  

Great looking car there mate.

Get along to a NWM so we can see it in the metal !!!!

yes i know mate, already filed them down, took me ages to fit, they were a pain,
but they dont stick out …………………….alot  

got them in as far as i could, :roll:

Very cool -really like it, sort of a 90's feel. Don't know why I say that but that's the vibe I get.
I think there are loads of cool details - the VW air vents are a wicked detailing touch and the interior - WOW  8O  that's some very well spent money.
Top job  :y:
