well after the influx of pm's i've recieved it seems people like my car as much as i do!! the old leather interior is sold on and fitted in a mates 16v oak green and looking sweet, which has helped re-coup some cash from the re-spray. i spent ages scraping wax etc off the insides of the doors and rear quarters in order to install the dynamat. pretty easy to use although i need to get a roller to press it in a bit better. even in its rough state you can tell it will definately cut out a bit of road noise, which is what i was after, rather than stereo performance. on the down side though my lovely tilt and slide sunroof is too narrow!! ha ha well that'll teach me for assuming it would fit! turns out the audi i took it form is the only one in the range that has its own sized sunroof! typical! so i guess i'll have to find another at some point. bit annoying though as i told the sprayer not to bother doing the old on as i'd be whipping it out!
anyway, now the piant is done, the interior is all but done, the wheels are just waiting for the centre caps to come back, so i guess new engine is next!!
as i kinda let slip i've been planning a 16v turbo. i've ammassed pretty much all the parts i need so i need to start getting it machined as needed and built up so i can work on it over winter, the theory being it'll be ready for next year. pics and details to follow but it'll be less bling than the last as keeping chrome shiney when you live 2 mins from the sea is a bastard!
