too me £400-450 for a mk5 full seated interior is not expensive as some are not even that old.. 4-5 years compared the the mk2's 20 year old interior.. better looking.. more comfortable..  and if in the end it costs more it costs more not a lot you can do about that its all about pushing the envelope lol

Bargains are too be had a guy in the mk4 section won a set of 25th anniversary alloys on ebay last night for £120 full set these are currently going for £400+ so im optimistic  :grin: :grin:

Nothing as of yet to be honest bud pulled it off the road a few weeks ago and I've got an abf I'm about to rebuild then the fun shall start.. Going to respray the bay probably in cream and do a pretty much full restoration.. There's a build thread started but just getting ideas at the moment..

You can get the mk5 interlagos cloth from me, but last time I bought some the suppliers were getting close to the end of their stock and said they probably wouldn't bother getting anymore in. It's cheaper than £90 a meter though!

I just did a Bora in it:

The mk5 seats are very nice, but seem to suffer from bolster wear very quickly, the foams are really bad! They use a completely different subframe but I never really looked at any close enough to see how they'd take to modification into a mk2 or similar.
