JoeA Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Not sure if you're interested but if you pm vpolo, I think he has great condition gti arches and side trims for cheap as!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 the trims are good, just need a bit of TLC.ive just been driving it ATM, the cleaning will commence tomorrow! (Hopefully)also, today my passenger door didn't want to work,Managed to get it to work in the end! I just wont Ever put the Key in that side again. (I have central locking)also i do want rid of the back-box, I fancy either a single or double Upsweppt Jobbie, or just a 16V box, but its a full power-flow system, so not sure if the bores will match. (also I don't have much $$ at present )Also, tried on a rather Mucky G60 steel today, and was a bit sad to find that they didn't really suit the car.maybe with bigger profile tyres but im still not sure they will quite cut it!Overall I love the GTD, propper Man car. No Power steering is a Pain but it feels and Goes very well on the Move. Also its a 1.6TD engine is any ones interested, its on 180K, its had a top end rebuild, but everything else is original (exempt: clutch, timing belt etc)Il take Many more Pictures over this next few week, and on my camera!

James827 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Soo, I gave the car a quick clean today,I also found Lots of damp under the boot carpet and generally gave the car a good look around in the light for pretty much the first time. ( I have seen it up on the ramps and had a look at it, but didn't start looking under seats and stuff)Rust reformer was used on Surface rust in the Boot the can did leak a bit mind..Still not perfect but acceptable!I want to Wet Vac this away, but dont want to get it Wet really.. The cars all under-sealed so i don't know weather its just inside surface rust or what.. Made with the Duct tape to help Protect the back of the boot a bit. The outside only had a Quick wash, Just to get it acceptable. will be giving it a good Clay down, a good polish and wax when the weathers in my favour!Also, the rear bumper seems to have been sprayed with some kinda Clear Paint. Not quite sure what to do with that really. would like to strip if off, but not sure if it will damage plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Change the carpet, centre console, seats and doorcards.I have a huge boner for your intercooler and if you ever crash/destroy the car; I'm calling dibs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 haha! its pretty cool, not sure on the VW spray job mind. I want to get switch blanks and black carpet, but apparently changing the carpets annoying as it never Quite goes in the same again! and I like the seats. they are comfy. Just wanna wire up the heating elements!I really need to spend money on practical things at the moment, it needs 4 new tyres pretty soon, tax at the end of the month, and I dont even have a radio that works!theres a battery cover and under-tray on Ebay, but they are a bit expensive.

Rich Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 four tyres = new wheels time.Carpets out and in is an easy job, anyone that can't get it right needs help.I haven't had a carpet in one of mine for six months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 hmm I dunno, il think about it!

James827 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 true, my mate has some steelies from a vento just sat in his garden, im tempted to run them as they tyres are good. but i don't know if i want 14" on there. i have a set of scala snowflakes with good tyres, but again, i don't think they will suit.
