Also got bit more done on the interior.prepped, primered and starting painting the back and suspension turrets- decided to do them black to tie in with the black headlining and carpet and some new black doorcards. Pics:

Not finished yet but will prob tomorrow and give it a good polish once it's dried properly.
Charlie had the idea of using patches to repair some old seats she had lying around so after looking for the sewing machine pedal for about half an hour she set to work and here is what she did!

Fabric was removed, washed and dried then put on fresher back rest foams as old ones were ******.
Rear Badges to tie into the black and white theme..

Hole in floor fixed where some numpty had jacked it up wrong. First Charlie cut it out then we made a plate to fit.



Then a bit of welding (Charlie in action) Im teaching her to weld

Finshed welding, has now been ground back with grinder and dremel..


plus we flared/rolled the rear arches..

and trimmed the trims down so wheels won't rub when on the car, there's more than half an ich more clearance now.

Plus we smoothed off all the sharp edges inside from what got cut out the other day- just needs finishin paintin and floor sealed then carpet can go in! :)

Quick update...practically finished paintin the inside today and painted the bumper and clock surround pinstripes white. Sprayed the carpet black and refitted it along with my fresh seats...let us know what ye think...

Nice motor, looks cracking in white.

[Cobb888]

Have to agree, white is the best colour.

Just sold my White Mk2 Golf.

Cheers for the comments guys .. I have been hard at work again . About time after a week or two away from it . Too much stuff on with my friends Mk2 Polo Coupe and a mates Mk1 Cabby .. Getting that readdy for some summer driving :biglaugh:

It's been a while, as we've been busy with other Mark2s and the cabby.
So today we picked up where we left off.
Firstly we set about fitting the Mark3 doorcards to the Mark2 doors, with a bit of cheeky modification they went right on :wink:

Here's a better piccy of the interior spraying. False floor will be going in to cover the floor pan.

Managed to get the rear arch trims back on, and put some black carpets in, as the grey ones I dyed were pants :lol:. Wouldn't advise ebay carpet spray dye at all.

Rick!

[StevieDavison]

Well

I have found some leather seats to go in . I really diddnt think i could afford anything liek these till next year but have come across this set for ridiculously cheap .

Well free infact with a mk2 golf i will be buying for £400 as a buyer and seller .

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v693/charlie-says/carfaults006.jpg

Im extreemly happy with them . Cant wait to get them into the car and get all the electrics sorted out . :biglaugh:

[Gal]

Any more updates on this? looks wicked

[hongkongstuey]

looks very nice so far, i'd get a bucket load of leather treatment on those seats though to bring them supple again, they look like my old bmw seats and one day they just split from a crack like that, same place. better to prevent that i reckon.

[JIGGY C]

Thats one hell of a black and white car!!

Nice one. Hope all is well and going well

[TheSeeler]

Sweet. What kind of engine's going in it?

[brightside]

Do you still have this? Little cracker, Ive got one myself as a little project/hobby car. I love it :)
