Biggerbigben - Golf sold.. another new project!

Recommended Posts

dont suppose you could tell me where you get the leather from as i might re-trim my seats soon

 

I haven't got it re-trimmed yet mate, thats standard TVR trim. It's a nice cream/sand color but it has red stitching which dosen't match my blue car! Still deciding what to do about re-trimming! Just another expense at the moment..... need to get the car on the road first..

might be cheaper to re-spray the car to match the stitching :lol:

Seat 305mm discs( which are a bit small we decided and I could go bigger...) The calipers are of a Boxster S, nightmare to fit though as I have had to sand away the pads by about 50%....

Looking good mate. I hear you might have been out round the block in it last night?? :)

 

Jay

 

I was going to be but I started bleeding the brakes and I sprung 3 leaks, so decided against driving it around the block...

 

Will try tomorrow, fingers crossed... :roll:
