    Got the trim pieces off and they have been stuck on with sealant. I’ve managed to scrape the sealant off but it’s damaged the paint so looks like this now needs flatting down and spraying. why is nothing simple and one job leads to multiple others 😁

    Which engine cover?

    Another job well done 👌 can’t believe you now have this on the road. I’ve followed the thread for years and didn’t think it was going to happen. looking forward to seeing it next year at some point 👍

    Do you do any other 3D printing?
  5. ChrisL
    I reckon those are gone and lost. Some seem to remain though which is strange.

    I had the rears and fronts made Alex (volksworld13) but I had to supply the genuine pipe and unions to him. he didn’t want to make the front to rear pipes for me so I found someone on eBay that made pipes. I sent him the original lines as a template along with the green pipe, 3 x m10 unions and 1 x m12 unions. I sorted delivery and collection from the guy on eBay. I opted for genuine unions for originality but these are about £5 each (20 in total 😬).

    To move through the pages I have to hold my finger on the next page button an it opens the next page in a different window but closes the one I’m on (if that makes sense?)

    I did think of some fishing wire or something like that 👍

    I’ll look into the Wurth stuff thanks. mine are bonded on so dreading taking them off.

    I am trying to keep it as original as I can so need to stick with the 3 piece trims. the clips and inserts that fasten the trims are available from VW Classic parts now so bought those. I’ve also bought new genuine metal clips that fasten the fronts of the trims. unfortunately the 3 pieces aren’t available new so going to try and get mine back to the black finish.

    Facebook is useful for parts and seeing what people are doing on their cars however, it lacks the facility for a build thread with all the pics etc in one place like the forum has. Here you can go on somebody’s build thread and go through from the start to finish.

    Next job on the list, sort the 3 trims under the windscreen as they are damaged and faded. Got a new drivers side piece to replace the damaged one and got all new clips and inserts so no more sealant to hold them in place.

    Looks spot on, what did you do with the heat shields underneath, they look new

    Great to see people about. Need to get more people using this again.

    Cars looking really tidy there Matt. Bet you glad you kept the Audioscapes 👌 How much difference do the Cams make? Think I have some lined up for mine but interested to know what the extra power feels like.

    Just to keep the updates coming. heater matrix all sorted and dash back in along with the re-trimmed steering wheel and new gearknob.

    I’ve not left this site and still update my thread as much as I can. shame this forum isn’t like it used to be, much better then Facebook as it’s easier to see what each person is doing with their cars. bring back the forum 👍

    Excellent, hopefully you come on here and share photos for us. having started using Facebook for the CCGB only I don’t find it too good for build threads. This forum is way better for project cars.

    Looks fantastic mate, well done

    The stickers are from a company called OEM car stickers. They do a range of original design stickers but for mine I sent him a photo and dimensions of the stickers I wanted and he made to suit.

    Hi, didn’t end up sending mine to royal Steering Wheels. They had been on shutdown so couldn’t send it to them and then a NOS one came up so bought that instead.
  22. ChrisL
    Selling my gearknob as I’ve managed to source a NOS one. its on great condition, no damage to the stitching with only tiny marks on the edge near the top badge part. £40 including postage

    Small update. Refurbished the servo and had the master cylinder done at Past Parts. I got some new stickers for them so it’s back original. all assembled and I’m pretty pleased. Shame the engine covers it all when it’s done.
  24. ChrisL
    Im really happy with it. It’s done in mercedez Benz grained leather 👍 Yes Royal Steering Wheels. I’m waiting for them to tell me if they can do a gearknob, they didn’t want to do mine as they said it was too good to risk. I have a spare one with the leather removed to send them.
  25. ChrisL
    Sent the steering wheel off for re-trimming but had to be OE finish so had to be specific on the leather
