    Some more updates:-

    Reason the car isnt starting seems to be a fuelling issue, where the fuel is only going through when I power the pump straight off the battery.

    Also, for some reason my wipers and washers arent working when they were before, as well as the front indicators?!

    In other news, the rear seat is now complete:

    And have been tidying up a few loose ends, like fitting the rear window surround, hammeriting the underside of the sills and arches again.

    And also bought this to match the US rear lights

    Bought some:

    Polished door locks, battery bolt, rocker cover nuts, air intake clips and door card screws to match the polsihed a,b,c and sunvisor screws and slam panel bolts.

    Also bought some 'rare' german spec post golf boot guards (top of pic) and a chromed alternator fan.

    Just have to fit it all!

    Did you have to take your rear window out to fit the black stripe on the tailgate? Need to do this myself, but not sure if I wanna tackle removing a rear window

    I also want to know this as i've bought a new strip myself but without any holes. I sized it up and it looks to big with the window in going to stick up a thread but your car looks really nice. Done anything else to it yet?

    I see it's up for sale... can't believe you're thinking of selling it just after you've made it look awesome. Love the seats especially. Your car though - your choice.
