Dom’s Tornado Red Gti - round two!

<< < (2/3) > >>

While I waited for my welder mate to have time to sort the sill out, I tackled the interior. Other than the drivers seat it was in pretty good condition, but the drivers seat really let it down.

I picked up a full Ed30 interior, gave it a decent clean and fitted it:







I also fitted a cherry red hazard switch, replaced some scuffed trims and fitted a new gear shift boot:





much more to come later

Jons1001:
Nice work looks great!

dom069:
I swapped the key case for a Mk7 one:



Tackled the paintwork, which was insanely swirly:









Then went about replacing this mess of an exhaust:





With a non-res Scorpion:





Also fitted a kill all wipers delete:





Had the hole patched up:





I also took the side skirts off to check that no other rust was lurking underneath, thankfully they were solid:





While they were off I decided to smooth/paint them:





A bit of orange peel, but pretty happy with a rattle can result:

dom069:
Next up I changed the cambelt and did a full service using genuine parts, getting the engine mount bracket out was an absolute nightmare:



While the mount was off I fitted a polybush insert and replaced the bolts:



It had an MOT which showed that it needed a droplink which I replaced:





Then I took it off the road for the winter and started collecting parts:







More to come later...

Nice GTI, my favorite colour! Any more progress on this?
In the last picture, are those TT arms or  passat ones?
