If theres one car I want to see in person, its this one. I'm well made up you've got a thread on here as I'd thought it was gone after the demise of the ED38 forum. You've worked fast.

 

Really appreciate the comment and yeah lost all my info on that ED38 thread which is a shame as was also documenting it for my own personal use..

Anyway another small update most of the exterior panels all back together and starting to see final form as some of the ideas were thought of / sourced many years ago and only just i've i got to seeing how they look like on the car.










Dash


And how the front looks

 

This is amazing. Good work mate. Thats going to catch a few people by surprise thats for sure haha! Just a right amount of mods / updates meshed well to the original character of the car without going too far.

 

Very nice
Jon

 

Externally i've tried to keep it as close to original with small changes round what came out the shelf from vw but inside and the bay had to go with what worked for the engine

many thanks

 

gotta love a TT dash

 

Cool build.

 

Stunning car, nothing spared

 

Appreciate all the comments, hoping to finish the interior off this weekend

 

Should try to update this more often but not much has happened although car is now UK registered which was a big milestone for me.

Still got some small running in issues mainly fuel related but is mostly back together now.

 

What a thread!

 

Awesome build and fair play some thought and skills gone into this!! Not been on the forum literally in years, this was an enjoyable read and visit! Ps what’s the plan for the roof gutters...

 

Many thanks just tried to do as best as i could within my head, i tried shortening some mk2 ones but didn't like how they turned out managed to find some jetta 5door ones which also need a bit of work to make them fit a coupe thats currently what i got on photo above was before i fitted them

 

Are the headlights good?

 

Headlights are fine passed the mot no problem im obviouly running the sidelights in the indicator and the xenon angel eye has a shutter in it which is wired to the main beam which opens. i went the extra mile and have them on adjuster switch for up and down movement

 

Bit of a whole section i didn't include so here goes.

First was the Engine cleanded it up was a right dirty mess.
