My New Cabrio

[stainesy]

that looks sick.

Well the dye is on order so should be to long and then I'll give it a rub with leather sealer, then on the look out for leather 3 door front seats and leather Beetle hoop headrests. Think finding the door cards will be harder but I'll grab them when I see them, might need some Cabrio colour concept ones and dye the the red bits above the arm rests black so only the arm rest are red on a totally black door card. Then get the door handles and door pull surrounds covered in red leather.

Anyway, just fitted door and main dash switches, green for red lite and swapped the blue Airbag for a black one.



Switch on the left is the Corrado spoiler one and looks crap (so new blank needed) which I have the Corrado bezel, so I'll fit it into the replacement black dash between steering wheel and drivers door under main light switch

Also managed to dye the gearstick and handbrake gaitors too.

Today I decided to swap out the blue carpet for a black one picked up for a tenner.



And also swap the headlight wiring harness for a Fog light one.

Booked the day off today to fit the coilovers and replace the O/S lower arm as that N/S one needs booking in for a pro to sort.

Anyway, with a 45mm drop at the rear and a 60mm drop at the front I have a bit of rubbing which I put down to the 17"s and the fact the arches need rolling which I'll get done to the replacement front wings.

It's getting there mate. Looking good now it's lowered

[dubstar9]

Cheers mate.

That N/S arm is bugging me at the moment, had the tyre replaced today and as they torqued the wheel up you could see it moving back 10mm or more and after a good drive it knocks like hell over potholes and rough surfaces

Got it booked in at the same garage in a couple of weeks to replace the bolt, then I can get on and replace the arm, free of the track rods and book her in for tracking. Then I'll be 100% happy with the suspension and once the wings are welding up and the arches rolled it's sorted.

I can focus on finished the interior (Black dash and kick panels and leather front seats) and the bodywork, that spoiler/bootlid and a respray

Looking good mate, can't wait to see this finished 

[dubstar9]

Replaced the dash this weekend and converted my original clocks by swapping out the Anni faces which isn't as straight forward as it sounds and fitted red LED's and then sewn on a Black leather steering wheel cover.

Those seats would look great in an 80's porn movie..
