ummm that is a question lol.
We hope to have the engine in and runing in a few weeks, but then it has to go back to the body shop for a few bits ?:wink:
Then it will need the turbo hose's sorting out I have made a temp thing up so it will run but it is going to have a few custom parts made and I will pollish them, as if you member at mo it all goes in the inner wing in the MK1 that won't be the case in the Caddy, then all the other bits and bobs i.e it needs a dash and interior.
We will have it running and the outside finished for May (the plan is to take it to International)
The interior will be in there but with time and money that won't be done till later this year.

Any ideas what you plan on doing?? Can I cheekily suggest a TT dash??!!  :wink:

I'd love to have the time/patience/money to do what you guys are doing, so I'll just live out my ideas through your new project, LOL!!!  :grin:

at mo have the orig caddy dash and also a very early mk1 golf dash.
The problem I am having is that I want to fit the Seat clocks into what ever I use.

Seats would like 911 seats and have them black leathered.

Caddys don't have carpet! so that needs sorting too, mk1 stuff won't work as using seat gear stick etc..... so another custom job and they all take time and worst of all money!

Will seat leon dash fit, with the necessary butchering?

Am i right in thining they are very similar (identical?) to an A3 dash?

911 seats would be awesome....

yeah the clocks part would be the same as the audi

We can get it into the old syple mk1 dash as it was done before but with no where left for anything else and no where to hide a few wires and the glove box would still have to be used and full of switches.

If we use the newer caddy dash, the clocks again would fit well that is a just with some more cutting up, but we could then use other switches to wire things in and leave the glove box free for stuff, and also might get away with having a sterio where the ashtray part is without it looking to out of place.

To many disisions to make!
