Cheers lads, it's a love hate project, I'm sure il love it when it's all finished and on the road and il forget all the money I have dumped into it, for now though I hate how it's taking all my money. I figure do it right now and hopefully won't have any problems in the future ... :| but it is a mk2 Golf, can they ever be classed as finished? You'll love that VR6 noise bud! :evil:

Few more parts turned up, the rear badge I have sprayed matt black, I wanted to get the headlights and fog lights fitted tonight but it got dark at 7 so had a tinny instead :lol:



Genesis 5 channel Amp



Polished door inserts and de-locked passenger door handle, had to swap over the mechanisms but so easy even I could do it! :lol:



Before I tackled recovering the headliner/sun visors/boot build/pillars etc I thought I'd have a play with a spare seat belt cover, didn't come out too bad :)





Also managed to pick up a centre console in good condition, didn't like how 'the hump' just hung over the end think this looks a lot better, just need to make a bracket up to secure it in place (although it fits pretty snug) and might need a little trimming where it meets the console at the front







Until next time ;)

Picked these up a few weeks back, don't hold much hope finding the loom and electric subframes so looking to buy some manual subframes.



Also ordered some new genuine G60 arches earlier this evening, £350 of 4 bits of plastic :huh: Full stainless steel none resonated Jetex system turned up today! Golf is going into the workshop Saturday for the 20vt conversion. Hope to be at some shows this year! :afro:

Yeah she has gone into the workshop :afro: not planning on getting rid of her just yet! Not much to update then the polybushes for the front crossmember arrived and the rear camber shims which I dropped off at the workshop! :smiley:

Rims are done, split and dishes polished, then been rebuilt with new gold bolts and stainless nuts, centres powdercoated, just need to decide on centre caps now
