Trust you to get the speakers in first!!!!!

Nice to see the steering coloum and ignition all sitting nicely now

Moving fast now.

Well impressed,looks great, no messing about here :)

I feel inspired to go and weld the caddy now...

nice work there, this is gonna be a proper GT conversion.

startin to think maybe a servo is a good idea? i'd go remote tho screw all that welding!!!

Shoulda put a newer dash in kat!!

Work your dads done looks really up to scratch fair play to him!!

:)

see you sat night my lover XXxxXX

Well dad thought about it, and it cant be done, my braking system didnt have a compensator, so if one bake went then one front and the opposite rear brake would work, if that makes sense, u would have to completely change every single thing about the braking system blar blar lol

keep u up dated tho

my coupe S had exactly the same rot hole in the battery tray, pain in the ass. was talking to my old man about a servo conversion, looking at these pictures i might not bother! respect to you and your pops for tackling that one.

your dads not the legendary Dick Strawbridge by anychance is he? spitting image :grin:

lol nah his name is wilf and i reckon he will become a legend in the dub scene seeing as he is getting his own industrial sewing machine to do interiors.... he already does motorbike saddles and chairs lol

but yeah its a big job but the overal performance of the car is alot better and safer, i need brakes driving the way i do

i need brakes driving the way i do

Yup I've seen your driving!!!! You lost me round the streets of Southampton :p

fuckin hell hoppy was tellin me about this but fair play, your dad certainly knows his stuff, always loved this mk2 I've got a cool pic of my sis leaning against it at of the festivals last year

Hahaha wicked, shes not much to look at atm but just watch this space.....

someones not messing about lol

That was in the horney, shes a bit sneaky round corners

First time I've seen this nice one musher! Wilf is a legend big up the wilf! Glad youve put the servo in now driving it without it was a bit scary

See you tomorrow mater for you happy birthday song!!!

Beautiful job. Wishing I did my old A-reg now :(

Superb work. Its a credit to your Dad and yourself to go the whole hog and do a "proper" full GT conversion.

The best practical engine/performance/fun balance in the best looking Polo (IMO of course!)

Enjoy!
