Cheers mate. Got them Direct from VW dude, £15 each...if your local vw parts department tell you that you have to buy the whole rocker cover than they are lying lol. Get the guy to click on the rocker cover, the deselect the rocker cover on the order form and order in just the gaskets.

Not much changed lately! been cleaned and polished and it gleams! :) (yes even through the lacquer peel and rust :lol: ) No pictures today but will get some good ones soon.

Anyway, some plans that I want to get done soon......ish:

- Remove the ARB completely, strip it down and clean it up (for the future)

- Replace the passenger window mechanism

- Fix the passenger rear door card

- Tint the fogs yellow

- Pressed plates

- Rear spacers 8-)

- New exhaust / custom?

- New bushes and wishbones (doesn't really need doing but looks like they've been on there for a while...)

- Fit a replacement open air roof and sort the rust on the roof.

- Replace all seals on the roof

- Upgrade to 6n2 roof strips (would also replace with a 6n2 windscreen if my chip ever gets worse)

Slightly in the future:

- Respray bonnet, bumper and wings (first)

- Cut rust out and respray car. <- Will most likely be panel by panel mind.

OR. save my money and get a Corrado :lol:

Will start cracking on with the small bits for now. Picture updates soon :)

Thanks mate :) do it, shouldn't be too hard to get hold of!

On a side note, managed to pick up a spare Open Air roof, motor, wind deflector, seal and headlining today all for £20! 8-)

Will buy a replacement cover for the top and re-condition this one as the inside is in better condition than mine.

Only picture is of donar car:
