Yes mate they fit straight on there, I'd advise you have some way of getting in. Boot I suppose but check the keys turn! They often seize up. :wink:

Boot lock works fine by key. I'll take the handles off the donor and stick them one mine :smiley:

is it hard fitting the new handles? Is it a door card off jobby to line the hook up?
-
you can do it without taking the card off, its when you got to try and position the lock it gets a bit tricky

Nope not that hard at all , yes got to take the door cards of , makes it much easyier to fit then. :evil:

Nice one, cheers guys. I'll get to my donor at some point next week and whack them onto mine :smiley:
-
You know how to get the door cards off?
BTW the car is looking nice, have you had it machine polished?

Yeah mate done them loads of times. To be fair I don't know why I ask cos I had to take the passenger side front handle off the other day so I know perfectly well how to do it :grin:
-
Cool. :)
Is it Mystic Blue?
It looks more blue then mine, mine looks more purply. Looking 8) though! :)
-
yeah mystic blue, hand polished :smiley:

You don't need to remove the door cards, takes a max of 5 to 10 mins each side.
-
leave the drivers door one on - I found that the central locking "all open", or "all shut" linkages would freeze and put the windows down, and the doors open when you hit the remote fob.
VW have since restored the door and handle to normal condition!

I never had that problem
-
neither did my friend have that problem??
but it is a good idea to keep the drivers side the same just incase.
-
Never had that problem and so long ad you keep access through the boot then no probe getting in even if the battery or Fobs go belly up. I changed my piece of p1ss and no door card removal necessary. When's the transplant happening?

Nice one dude, I'll change them sometime this week.
Transplant is happening next weekend, starts midnight friday, should have the 8v engine out in the early hours of the morning and then saturday morning get the 16v engine in the shell. Spend the rest of the day setting up the new engine and making sure it runs smooth and reliably :smiley:
Ferry trip back is on Monday at almost midnight, so got 3 full days to do this conversion in :smiley:
-
Plenty of time for a celebratory beer the night before then. Good luck with it all, hope it goes smoothly
