Amber_Nunny Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Dont bother with products, its wax, just use the kettle.Easiest way is just to warm and remove, I did mine on the Polo yonks ago.This worked really well, just wiped off Progress so far:Just need to finish cleaning all the little bits but its nearly there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber_Nunny Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Due to my new seats I'm looking to sell my leather interior.Front and back seats with doorcards.Looking for about £500 but would be willing to negotiate a bit as I need a gti rear bench and a full set of gti doorcards The drivers seat is just starting to show a bit of ware but is still in almost perfect condition.I believe there is a scratch from those stupid buttons on the back of jeans on the front passenger seat but that's me being picky - it's not noticeable!I think I have all 4 headrests but ill have to check.I'll also get new pictures tomorrow.

joewf10 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 whats the lowest youd take for the seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'll take the interior for £500 if that includes shipping to Denmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 whats the lowest youd take for the seats? The lowest I'd take is £450 to be honest, there's not many of these left out there now I'll take the interior for £500 if that includes shipping to Denmark Haha. I imagine it'd cost a lot to ship to Denmark. But for £450 you can have them and sort shipping out yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber_Nunny Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 So the latest update for the engine rebuild...Primered the engine The white vht paint that I had for the engine turned out to be really crap and thin so I've been waiting to get the new paint.To be honest the new one wasn't much better but it looks fine - just needed quite a few layers.So the final result:I've also managed to buy a few of the last needed bits such as the clutch release bearing and spark plugs.Just need to get all the fluids now In other news...I actually gave Alva her first wash since she's been off the road!Also a bit of prep before she goes away for a bit...High Alva!Striped - also took out all of the interior plastics, carpet etcAnd then Alva went away...She should be back in 8 weeks - I'm very excited!!
