I dont know what you mean!!...........Cough.........start my first of 10 days anual leave today...cough :oops: :D

Thanks mate, it was'nt that hard to do either, about 5 hours work in total. Not done the boot or mat's yet though, but they should be easy.

I forgot to mention I got some A6 handles got them out of a car at the scrappies :D £20

Finally finshed the passenger side carpet, it just needs leather edging where it joins the base of the rear seat panel. New alarm has arrived Toad Ai606 bargin at only £99 brand new, Ordered a few styling bits from DDI, Took bonnet, wings, doors to join my bumpers at the bodyshop, (Eleven 80 Customs) for smoothing and A6 handles.

Thanks for the encouraging words Nick, I hope I can get it all done, I've got a picture of what I want it to look like in my head & it just wont feel right unless its all done. As far as the courage to pull it apart go's , I'm a bit like that with everything, I've got massive Ideas for everything house, garden, cars etc can be a bit of a bad habit :oops:

:D Yesterday I went to dropped my rear bumper off at the plastic welders, but when I got there he had locked up :( , so I left it at the side of his unit and sent him a text telling him that I wanted to delete the exhaust and towing eye holes and plastic fill the lower swage line, I also mentioned that I needed it back ASAP. So Imagine how suprised I was when I phone him this afternoon to ask him if he'd found it, and he tells me its fininhed :shock: :? :D . I still needs a bit of rubbing down but it's near enough ready :D

Daz, as you know Crazy can be good sometimes :D If I get this finished in five weeks, I'l never be able to make any excuses again as to why the Golf G60 project has taken 6 years and it still not done :D :shock: P.S remind Steve to bring my G lader back, I need to get it chromed :wink: DAZ

Hi all, just thought I'd show you lot how I've been getting on with the carpet. I started taking the old carpet out at about 23:00 and have just called it a night 02:00 ish as I've got to be up for work at 6 :sleeping: I manage to seperate the original carpet into 3 parts, Driver, passenger and rear, I then used these parts as templates on the new carpet. After cutting the carpet in the house, I went back out to the car for a trial fitting. I'm not finished yet but so far so good :D .

Now your on my wavelength :D , I've got a good few mates doing all they can to help , so fingers crossed.

Didnt I put that in the list :oops: because so many panels are being tampered with I'l have to repaint it.

Just took a load of engine and gearbox bits down to be polished/chromed/plastic chromed, Heres the list; RS rims 39 bolts (various) 8 door card screws 3 nuts, 10 brackets,(various) German spec 2.9 inlet manifold (upper & lower) throtle body, 2 bonnet hinges, 2 door catches, (and bolts) 3 engine mount brackets, fuel rail, reverse switch, shift weight,

Thanks Bally I know its a mammoth mission But I do like a challenge. "this message will self destruct" :onfire:

good luck with its a big ask. If its a factory carpet, dead easy you won't any problems. If its custom made show quality one like mine it will take days to do even for a pro. I'l see ya in a couple of days then :D

I took my engine to get rebuilt this evening, been told I should have it back within a week ( Big thanks to DAZ fom Dub Shack) :D Also took the RS's apart,which was a nightmare, endless undoing of bolts and then seperating the 3 peices :shock: for a while I was convinced they were glued.

Thanks for all the good luck shout's I know i'm gonna need it :) logicaltunning "the essentials, yes, the carpets, install etc, not a chance lol" Those are the easy bit's, the carpet should take me no longer than a few hours to cut to shape, bond together and fit, and the ice install, (less the wiring, which will be done with the carpets) will proberbly take a full day ti fit. I might start the carpet tomorrow. :)

LOL :lol:

LOL, thanks for the offer but no way, these will be kept and handed down to my great grand kids :D DAZ

It needed a bit of engine work, which the owner had been over quoted to get done, so he thought he could afford to keep it. I knoked him down from 1300. I've since found receipt in with the paper work for £4500 a year and a half ago. DAZ
