Thanks for following

Thanks 🙏 

It's good to know people are reading and following it, when no one comments it feels pointless.

I'd like to do a caddy to match it 👍🏻

 No keep posting mate, I'm certainly enjoying the read. I sold my caddy about 6 years ago, ready to start the golf but life got a bit busy! But finally getting round to it 🤞

Picked up a set of mk7 golf r seats. This build I'm not putting in mk7 rear rears to keep it more original but I'm so comfy in the mk7 seats.

I've got "G60 electric" Recaro in the front of mine, I was going to try to have the rear covers cut to match but will just live with the red stripe rear bench

Keep on posting here, it's helping with my motivation to get mine going  :thumbs: 0C08CEE1-86D9-418F-86E2-C9C06A73CEE1.jpeg

Oh and a set of wheels have come.

C72A4FFD-803F-40A6-B4FA-94045D11452C.jpeg Rubbish in black so will be chrome powder or polished again but I'm not a fan of maintenance on wheels so would ceramic coat them.

There the Audi winters.

I agree with the orange and black theme but black wheels just get lost with the tyre etc.

I'm going to try get one chrome powder coated to see what I think of it.

I had one that colour that was affectionately known as the snotter that I needed a front end for. Really regret getting rid of it now!

Still absolutely love the colour.
