Joe's Gti Progress Thread- Leaky

[joe2612]

Cheers guys! was pretty pleased with them Craig, they are storage marks yes.

Also sprayed my grills gloss black yesterday as they were looking abit faded and tired..

Primered:







Freshens up the front lovely

Here's the drivers bolster that was repaired a few years ago- nice if all the seats were like this:

Grilles look fresh, I did this to mine at one point but stone chips kept making the primer show through, ended up getting new ones

They had been painted a few times before though including all silver by the previous owner

Hope yours stay as they are though, looks good

Love your work joe.

Yep had the same problem myself when i did them before, i just primered these and did about 3-4 coats of gloss black- time will tell if they hold up!

I hope they do Joe, mine had all the honeycomb cut out and swapped with mesh which didn't help mine, yours may hold up a lot longer being the original plastic.

Interior looks great Joe and top marks for spraying the grilles too

Cheers man! i haven't installed the heated looms yet. Think i can get hold of the 6n2 heated loom for 50 quid or so. Will need some 6n2 switches on that, bit of soldering and modifying and hopefully they'll work! There's only 4 wires inputting into the whole seat loom so hopefully shouldn't be too tricky..

So continuing with the interior theme, I've acquired some audi tt pedals. The seller also threw in a mk2 accelerator pedal, which looks much better than the tiny mk1 one!

Also got my front 10mm wheel spacers on... pictures to follow shortly

Here's polished brake pedal compared to old scuffed accl. pedal



And just to throw it in: the seat fitting process
