Very nice mate,how much would I be looking at if I wanted my headlining looking as sweet as yours?

Cheers, Its was around the 200 quid mark that's with quite a few extra bits though, and them fitting my sunroof as well.

More updates..

mate. that looks awesome.

springfest? :p crack on!

Wow! That looks brilliant. Like it just rolled off the production line

Looks more like it's been plucked off the production line part of the way through. The front end looks amazing, how did you get the bumper and grille looking so fresh?

looking amazing mate!

Bet its a massively fun job as each bit makes it look so much better as you go!

Bit early for congrats so have a congr...!

haha cheers :)

The grill and the bumpers were just cleaned with Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care. They were in a bad way before and I'm really surprised how well they came up!

Trial fitted the stickers for the guys at PanelnPaint to attach this week

Also I've been painting

looking good. ill give you £50 for it mate

Awesome :)

How come your putting stickers on the B pillars and not the plastic trims?

which trims? everything will be going back no apart from the side rubbing strips... but even those might be fitted :-)

spent the day changing this

to this ready for painting

also test fitted the new gaskets

Canada???

Seeing those interior shots makes me wish I'd stripped mine bare like this. That said, it's solid enough not to need it yet. I fancy taking the engine and interior out in a few years to make the rest of it as good as the bits painted last year, but then I'm sick of it being off the road so it'll be a while haha!

Can't wait to see this in the metal though. Sadly I'll be in Germany while Stanford Hall is on - and that's just down the road from me too. :(

Canada???

x2

Why would it be made in Canada when the rest of the car was built in Spain (?) using parts from Spain, France and Germany...

The ally end plates on my AEA were made in Canada. My uncle, who used to work for VW parts is adamant that VW never had parts made in Canada.

Matt, the coupe has thin vinyl/plastic stickers on the B pilars, whereas the bready has those ridges plastic trims.

This is awesome mate!!

wooo, my cam cover making an appearance :p

this is stunning :)

Thanks guys... :)

Yeah I thought it was strange that it was made in Canada... but thats what it says!!

Well it really it touch and go to see if I can get it done for Stanford but I'm trying my best and I'll be gutted if its not..

wooo, my cam cover making an appearance :p

Yes.... It looked liked I killed something after I got all that bloody paint off!!

Picked up some new driveshafts today..

Never seen new ones before. Something I did notice though is the long drive shaft does not have the balance weight mounted on it in the centre of the shaft so i'll just take one from the old one

where did you get the new driveshafts from Mark please pm me if you can and how much were they bet not cheap but it maybe the only option for the front syncro shafts i need

oh and btw nice going its all looking great yours is probably the complete opposite to what I'm doing lol
