cornishvr6 52 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 So the mk3 saw the daylight last week, took it out for a short test drive to check wheel/arch clearance, luckily no issues to report at the moment however it has no interior and an almost empty fuel tank at the moment.Ordered these from Germany, really wanted a set of original RH centre caps to match the polished lips and very impressed with the delivery, only took 4 days from ordering.Finished article Link to post Share on other sites

cornishvr6 52 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 As some members already are aware I had a very special interior lined up which I collected on Friday. I took the long drive up to Dunfermline to pick this cargo up which ended up in a 1200 mile round trip with some challenging driving conditions in the snow and great scenery in 24hr road trip.Couple of pics from the journeyThe new interior comprises of Recaro CS seats fully re trimmed, matching rear seats, custom door cards, parcel shelf, Golf anniversary seatbelt set and a Audi TT dash setup.Fitted my focal components prior to door card installation too.Will get more pics and update as I fit the rest of the interior :-) Russvrt, Ickyketseddie and michael5556 3 Link to post Share on other sites

cornishvr6 52 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 So today I managed to get stuck in with fitting the rest of the interior, Front door cards all fitted with new door card clips,Next up was to remove the existing dashboardTo make way for this, Just having a trial fit at the moment as I need to fabricate a couple of brackets but it gives you an idea of how it will look, the dash certainly transformed the whole look of the interior for me, very happy with the direction it's going in, here's a few pics, trix2702, Ickyketseddie, VR6Pete and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

cornishvr6 52 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Glovebox also arrived now,The upper dash is now finally bolted into the correct position using the custom brackets I had made up, These were done in 4mm steel and cut to suit the TT dash and old dash support on the mk3. michael5556 1 Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Finally got the audio wiring all tidied up combined with some sound deadening before bolting in the rear seats with the required bracket I was initially missing, if I'm honest I wanted a break from the dash side of things. :-)Didn't get any pics of the framework but knocked up a false floor to hide my battery and my audio equipment, recovered with the original boot carpet and trimmed to suit.

cornishvr6 52 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Just to keep this alive, not many updates to speak of other than it's running superb, Attended ultimate dubs back in March and took the trip over to Dubshed in April, here's a few pics from the past couple of months.

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Well, it still looks like a pukka bit of kit and you've performed some superb mods. I hope to see your car in the flesh one of these days! Nice work fella! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yes Lukey, I will be there that weekend so no doubt you will see the car around somewhere, unsure it will be on display most likely parked next to the tent and a very large drinks/beer cooler :-) Will be good to meet up anyway Link to post Share on other sites
