The A reg Mk2 GTI Project

My b plate doesn't have height adjustable belts so I'd assume his a plate one wouldn't, unless it was an option?

 

Cheers mate i had to get new ones they cost me a small fortune i spotted these on ebay

yeah the lines on my car need sorting out iv also just seen that there are big bumper brackets on the front of your wings

 

Just bought them, cheers

 

That was quick Your not going to bet putting big bumpers on it are you?...

 

Trying not to waste time .

Nope, awaiting my small bumpers to arrive in the post

 

Early vinyl strips FTW. Mine are Mk1 stripes modified to fit but look decent i think. Very nice early car look forward to seeing how it develops




Cheers

More updates -

When under the car today I found it has a 4 branch manifold and full scorpian exhaust system

Plates came form classiccarplates.com and arrived within 2 days of an order -



Started hammeriting the arches and underside -



Polybushed the exhaust mounts, so my pipes are straight



Also bought another 7 slat grill, as it has spotlights along with a porsche golve box handle.

And finally, bumpers, interior handles, rubber trim, seat belts and a few other bits arrive on Monday, so should have a complete car bar the wiring by tuesday

 

Cheers for the pics and links scobie and cbc - both cars look great!!

A couple of updates from today.

Went out to the guy I got the car from and got some seatbelts, so they are now in.

That's looking good. Love the early details and choice of wheels.

Nothing exciting happening really.

With obligatory Club GTI sticker.



And I washed it.



Bumper still havent arrived . But means I can get on with the wiring this week.

All for now!

 

When you do change your interior get in touch with Neal H I think he's after your rear bench. Might have been in touch already.

 

Going to look very nice indeed !

 

This is looking very nice. The bumpers you're getting, are they new? If so, where are they from?

 

Ok will do!

Cheers

The bumpers are second hand off eBay. Reason I havent got them yet is they were part of the deal with the previous owner and he hasn't received them yet
