Found this little gem on ebay today, at least some people still have a sense of humour http://www.ebay.co.u...5#ht_500wt_1156 Might be worth bidding on James

Haha never seen it before, but i'm glad I've seen it now, thanks for sharing James

Cheers mate Yeah that's right, luckily it worked out , and just used a basic spray adhesive it seems to be holding so far. James

Thanks michelle Yeah you want stretch in the material, as there's a lot of pulling to make it fit right. What i used is a shirt fabric, only downside is its a bit thin so you've got to watch you don't use too much glue or it seeps through. Definitely going to look at either re-upholstering my seats or buying mk1 audi tt seats next James

Not yet Koop, finished and fitted the rears though: Glad to be an inspiration, I got by material from ebay was a lucky find really, and the size was 2 yards x 45" Luck forward to see what you've got planned for yours James

Yeah i wanted to go for something a bit different hopefully it'll work James

Been really getting into re-upholstering the interior so bought some more fabric to do thee door cards with, only done one so far but will hopefully do the rest tomorrow and fit them James

when i did mine i just used spray adhesive to glue it down, start at the top where the sun visors are as they're the hardest part then make your way down just make sure you pull the fabric tight to fit it properly not get any creases and most important take your time doing it will always get the best results James

cheers guys Had some material left over after doing the headlining so decided to use it on the parcel shelf here's how it came out James

After thinking about what i could do next i decided to have a go at some basic upholstery so decided to do my headlining in black suede, here's the results: Also in the process of spraying ceiling trim black Next step i'm going to have a go at something a bit more challenging and re-upholster the door cards. James

Welcome bud Good choice of first car, have you got some pics? Cheap mods are removing bump strips, fitting aero wipers, shark fin aerial and vinyl wrapping trim Just have a look around members builds to see what you like James

Carpet and spray adhesive arrived today and with it being a really sunny day today decided to finally finish off my boot build I'm really pleased with it as the false floor didn't cost much at all to build with pretty much the same sound And looks a lot tidier to original sub enclosure James

Not been on here for while but here's a very small update Only change so far is that I've fitted pressed plates which look much better then the old plastic plates, Also gave her a good clean and polish after work today Will soon be carpeting my boot build when the bits arrive James

Looks really clean mate Really nice colour as well

definitely Lupoboz

glad i don't have one of those

good start mate it looks much better on those coilovers seems like you've got some good ideas for it, cant wait to see the outcome James

Haha i know! I did think about taking it out, but i don't fancy getting a flat tyre and not being able to get home

wow looks good mate good job you're doing too cant wait to see it finished

Small update decided to make a false floor for the boot as it looked like this: After a bit of work it now looks like this (just needs carpeting and its done) James

welcome mate, got any pics? advise on parts the internet is you friend, just have a browse you'll soon find want you want there's lots of places you can get coilovers from with different price ranges, and fk do a badgeless front grill if that's what you're after James

welcome mate definitely get some pictures up what plans have you got for her? James

welcome mate car looks sweet on those wheels James

Mk1's are the way forward! Looks like you've got a good project ahead of you James
