Been giving it a bit of a thrashing with days out to Castle Combe, Teesside Autodrome and Blyton Park since the last update :)

This was from Teesside;



Not actually done much to the car recently. The scratch polished out so was pleased about that and I have fitted the rest of the interior too. The only problem with the interior is that the passenger front seat sits very high for some reason. I don't know if this is because the seats are from a pre 90spec car or whether they are just like that, but I'm thinking of getting a drivers side base with the height adjustment and swapping the material over (if this is possible, not actually looked into it yet) so that passengers don't spend all their time banging their head on the headlining  :grin:

I will be putting the G60 engine together over the next couple of weeks and hopefully it will be fitted in time for a day out at Castle Combe on the 2nd August. If anyone else is interested in that then have a look on Apex's website for details and also for other venues and dates - I'll be at Donnington on the 8th July for the day too, would be good to see some other Vw's there  ;)

Cheers for the positive comments :)

Had to look up who leo sayer is :grin: no argument there, haha

Unfortunately it is starting to suffer the dreaded 'old red paint' syndrome, need to give it a polish soon!

Just checked out the jetseal 109 and the reviews (especially regarding red cars) are excellent so I'll be making a purchase methinks, thanks for the tip :) I find the whole detailing lark properly confusing, but hopefully will be able to get the car looking good for more than a week :grin:
