That's not so bad then.
I remember my sunroof seal had shrunk and just kept popping off.
I used someone to hold it in place whilst i shut the sunroof..
Did the trick until my mate mashed up the mechanism whilst the sunroof was wide open...

we shall see how my repairs have done. In the mean time as got the interior out. iv started hammeriting everything taht had got wet as it had started rusting in some places.











not sure if ill do the front yet as its taking ages and might be a bit pointless. going to try and get the headliner back in tomorrow and then just pop the 2 front seats back in temporarily til lippy can come on friday and wire in my amp and stuff.

Looks mush better bud, imo the front is the most important place to paint as thats where the water was sitting for the longest and rusted the worst, I did 2 coats on the areas you have done so far, covered a treat!
Friday I might need to be doing my amp rack on the roof as I was supposed to get it done last friday but was helping adz, but il let you know!
You could remove all the stuff in the new car and the old car to get the ball rolling then I can start with a clean slate so to speak ;)

EDIT : Didnt you want 4 gauge power cables before it goes back in still for 2 amps?

very nice looking car mate like the white wheels

im going to do front tomorrow :P
let me know asap man, cus i might need the car on saturday to drive to cardiff, so would be a plus if theyre was a stereo in. but i dont want to put you out.
yeah i did want 4 gauge power cable, so thats new rather than swapped from other car. but i can take out the front comps, crossovers, amp, and stereo, anything else i need out?

Im going to re fit the roof lining tomorrow and then pop the front seats in temp so the car can be driven, but like i said i could do with the stereo if im driving to cardiff saturday, but anyways let me know!

Hai its Pillz! Looks much better now! Glad your puttin all hard work into it!!

ooh name change, very snazzy

yeah, want to look after it! so after throwing a little hissy fit this morning, decided it wasnt so bad and got my arse in gear lol

Update!
So after a day or 2 of sealing, plugging, swearing and negotiating, i got the car back together. Or back together enough to drive it. Its got no stereo AT ALL! Or rear Bench, but one step at a time!

Hoping the leak is fixed for now.

So Onto next things, Iv been looking at options for my dials.

Plasma Dials or MK2 Digi Dials with Blue LED's??

Plasma Dials From Visual Performance



LED Plasma Dials (Credit To Lippy For Pic :y:)



Im not sure, i like the Visual Performace Plasma dials But they look a bit crap when theyre not lit. Theyres a bit too much blue on them,

but then the problem with the MK2 digi dials is that its a lot more work to swap over the wiring. I do have a guide however, but there are a few grey areas in it that arent very clear.

Cost wise it will probably cheaper to do the digi dials and swap for blue LED's, but may not work completely.

So you decide!

I would go for the standard ones.. look cleaner when they're not lit..
Thinking of changing the colour of mine to red to match my stereo...
It would be a lot more work with the wiring and everything though..

Also if you want some Mk2 dials.. the ones i have are between 60-70k miles i think..

yeah true, someone on here does MK2 digi dials to the mileage you want, but its £50 delivered, and thats more than the plasma dials straight away!

so still not sure. not getting anything yet. hopefully gettng a new centre console and heater vents in next week or so. then going to start small, swap LED's for the rear heater button, then maybe fag lighter etc

Plasma dials for sure, im gonna get me some soon too. Car's looking spanking.
White VT kit? oJ

get the plasma dials from visual performance! i want some so bad lol

haha no, not on this car!
But I'm leaning toward the plasma's actually

i really wanted some when I had the 1.1 and now I got a car they will fit on they changed the design!

Get the plasma dials! :y:

or do both as pred has done

looks good mate id go for the mk2 dials with blue led's. and new the centre console and vents choice will suit the car down to the ground

I really wanted plasma dials tbh! It was when I saw Pred's ones but they dont look very clean imo, bit messy/confused looking??? maybe just me
Cant you save some pennies and just swap over dials with roughly the same milage as your car has and go from there? I say that but im sure I know who you might be asking to do the SMD's wiring which is an arse lol

your pretty up on your style, so that helps :P haha

but that still requires MK2 dials, hmm

yeah i think it would, if i just do plasma, theyres going to be odd lights at the bottom that i couldnt change. I think its Mk2's!

lol, well you have done it already so it should be pretty easy to do ti again :P i was thinking of doing it myself, but if your offering?! haha

think i might put a wanted thread out for some :P

EDIT: Dude, iv only jsut left! thats commitment to commenting lol

Update Time!

Lets look back at my list a page or so ago of things i needed to get done this week...


- Sunroof is fixed, i think, hasnt leaked in days, but we'll see!
- Decided Im just going to get an alarm instead of getting the remote fixed as it will cost about the same and ill have an alarm!
- Still need to do the morettes, quite high on my list now.
- Iv put the green filter on the raceland, but need to nab 2 brackets of lippy so i can attached the housing properly.
- Hoping Lippy may pop over later today and finish off the amp wiring for me, but as pictures will show, HU is in, poor pods are on and theres a big jumble of wires!
- And finally, car still needs cleaning, but the weather is so crap at mo, ill only do a light clean.

Pics!



...clean



...carpet back...



...door pods on (and 1.1 door cards)...



...jumble of cabling...

...and the rear bench is back in, but photobucket is being a douche and messing with my pictures...but you all know what it looks like...

Hoping some more updates audio and lightin wise fairly soon!

Haha why thankyou :P



Woop got the sunroof fixed!! :D Cant wait to see what you got planned for the sax! Keep us updated! Hopefully you will have some audio sorted soon! :)

By the way very clean carpets ;) Although i rekon i could get it cleaner :P

Haha that carpets arent clean at all! but deceptive photography! :p haha

audio is sorted now, well the comps are wired in, got 4 gauge power cable in so that i can run a mono block as well as the 4 channel i already got, but currently its just one 4 channel, a headunit and a pair of comps and tweeters ha.

ill get round to buying some more stuff sometime :P

Ooo well thats good deceptive photography :P lol

Lol well atleast theres abit of audio in there atm :)
Ooo yeah? what you got planned to buy?

not 100% sure yet, but need a monoblock amp of some description, 12" sub, power cap, and another set of components, but not sure what yet.

want to try and track down the same pioneer ones i have in the front.

we'll see! off to the scrappies now i think

Update (With Pics!!!)

well its been a while coming, but i got some update pics:

So picked up a gti rear bench for a lovely price through lippy, has seen better days but its not that bad really.

also the bulb in my rear heater button had gone, so replaced it and my hazard light with a blue LED. start of the interior lighting. just waiting for my LED's to arrive so i can do more!

anyway pics (sorry for crap quality, iphone FTL)

I love the white with blue looks tidy.

Woooo you got the update up! Looking good duude! :D
