Cressa 40 Posted August 5 Bag up all of the fixings marking where they cone from. Mark the switch looms when disconnected. Do it methodically and it isn't as bad as you think. Make sure you get all the fixing locations. The ones behind the speedo at the top and the ones in the centre dash. Slow but sure. If you are doing the heater matrix, the bottom fixing in the bulkhead has normally seized Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilko13 2 Posted August 6 All back together now some what pleased that I at least gave it a shot. Had to paint the sunroof seal as it seemed easier that way. Came out well. Looking at taking the sunroof panel out and redoing it that way but it wan wait until the winter now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilko13 2 Posted August 23 Finally got hold of some oem rear lights. Rather happy with them. But what a pain they are to line up lol BeforeAfter Yea it was getting dark when I started lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mooG60 11 Posted August 23 I've never liked those modded lights, the originals look much better. 👍 What make is your exhaust, the tailpipe looks identical to mine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilko13 2 Posted August 23 Would have to double check as it came with the car but I believe it’s a jaytex cat back system Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mooG60 11 Posted August 23 I found a Milltek sticker in a box of bits that came with mine. Could be a red herring though.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 40 Posted August 24 👍👍 to standard everyday. Aftermarket lights look dated now. IMO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilko13 2 Posted August 24 to standard everyday. Aftermarket lights look dated now. IMOI agree they can look ok on some cars but when they start going onto classics just just look tacky.However much I tried to get them to line up they never did. The wiring was a disaster waiting to happen (I bought the car with them). Been waiting for a good set to turn up are a reasonable price.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Matt_ 24 Posted August 25 That is much better in my eyes. A tint across the top is okay too but those lexus style are not for me. Period mod though to be fair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G60OG 0 Posted September 14 Hi Wilkos G60 I have just signed up to the forum as I used to own this car! Got mistey eyed the other day talking to a friend at work and got linked in via google. Couldn't find the original plate on the government websites (feared it had gone to the great carpark in the sky) but good old google image search grabbed it. I had the car in about 2002 and only owned it for a year but I bloody loved it and it's the only car I've ever had that I and my (now wife) ever regretted selling. Annoyingly I had to buy a stupid house 😒. So pleased to see its in good health and you are doing a cracking job looking after it and getting it back to it's former glory. I have some old photos if you are interested so DM me if you want and I will keep logging on to see how she is getting on. Also may I just say thank you for keeping the original colour when you respreayed it. You never see that colour on old VW's but it's amazing up close and looks cracking in the sun. Also going to offer an opinion: put an original grill with the VW badge on it as they just look better. Can't beat a G60 😎 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilko13 2 Posted September 15 Hey bud thanks for getting in touch and for the comments. I would love to see the photos. I have also had previous contact with a chap who owned it from 2004. So your contribution will add more history to it. I love this colour and really does pop in the sun. I do plan on getting another grill as this one has unfortunately now got broken tabs due to me having to pull it off when the bonnet cable snapped.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60OG 0 Posted September 18 Dumb question, can you not just drag and drop images into the thread. Do you have to have an online photo app like photobucket to share pictures? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
