MadManMike Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah that's on my to-do list already, the seats are so small I sit on them, rather than in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The transformation so far! How bad were those wheels?! So far I've changed the wheels, removed those nasty chrome rings off the indicators and swapped the mirrors. More stuff planned this year, most of the money so far has been spent on audio, brakes and other mechanical stuff - making her pretty is next on the agenda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I don't want to blow my own trumpet; but I cant wait to show you guys my headlights. They've turned out loads better than I thought they would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 So. Dremel and cutting wheel to get a rough outline and a flat service to 'work' from. Lots of grinding from what I believed to be 'square'. It fits! Black plasti-dip. Plasti-dipped the lower trim panel of the grille. Fitted the original headlights so I'm legal whilst I work on the lights. And the new grille obviously. Plasti-dip dried. I haven't fitted proper H1 xenons to them yet, I'm still waiting for them to come in the post. But that's with the H4's taped into the back of the lights. They're f**king awesome! I haven't regaled the glass on yet because I want to make sure they work fine before I finally reassemble them. I can't wait to do the inside lights and get them finally wired up properly. I might even go back to the single light grille if they look right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartMini Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 They look really good jardo! This annoys me: Its the trim clip thats holds the trim onto the c pillar. I've spent weeks looking online for replacements, and found nothing. Tried removing second hand ones off cars at scrap yard and failed at that. I found out today by complete accident, that if you twist them 90 degrees, the pull straight out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartMini Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 got bored today and carried on hacking away the front panel: A few holes drilled: opened up a bit power tools that my dad keeps buying for him me to use how far i got today: finally got all the pipework for turbo to intercooler (after the ally pipe not turning up, and having a new 45 degree silicone hose made up because the first one was wank!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Dunce took this picture at the weekend. I f**king love it like a fat kid loves cake. I don't know why, but I look at it and it makes me think of a really cool atmosphere and just being with mates and cars and stuff. Gay I know, but it reminds me of the days when I used to hang out in car parks with all my mates and to be honest that's why we're into cars innit? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartMini Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Little bit more modifying to the front end. Painted the vw badge black, it being chrome was annoying me: Also cut out the hole through the grill to match the front panel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharn Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Went done the local scrappers today to have some new tyres fitted ( they have a tyre bit ) and as i drove in one of the lads working there stopped, turned around and came over to my car and said ' Youre not scrappin that are you?' Haha turns out he has two mk2s and was appreciating mine.. After some discussion i told him i was thinking of selling it for £1300 once i'd serviced and M.O.T it and he said he thought i'd get more! Because it's an older one with the quarter panels and the chrome trim, in the champagne gold colour and the VVV number plate. He commented on the arches ( As many mechanics seem to do!) and the miles and the overall condition and said i should try and get more than that?! Now don't get me wrong.. i absolutely love this car but i'd almost feel bad selling it for much more than that! Anyway, just thought i'd share cause i thought it was quite amusing the way he turned around and i figured i could use what he said as a bit of a sales pitch So anyway.. Got it booked in at the garage for the suspension plate thingy and an M.O.T.. Then it's officially up for sale. For what price i'm now currently unsure.. Pictures soon ( needs a polish first!)

I'm sure I've got it this time, it must be this one. But from this angle it might be this one? Do you know, I was sure I found it then. But then I saw this one, and I just thought it had to be. FFS this is impossible, this is it isn't it? Nope, found it. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
