whats tat about stripping out your car? the one thing i hate is when people say "ive stripped my car ouyt for a race/motorsport look. then i mdf'd the back" thats fine if you want a show car or whatever but defeats the point of stripping it out. i dunno, maybe im wrong. (still not gonna md...

odd that, theres a pair sitting in my room for a set of F1 stylee mirrors.

god knows where they came from then...i remember an advert in a pvw or golf mag where they were sellin base plates for a tenner though

hell yeah...

i dont know about the derby but on the mk1 youve got to do a fair bit of cutting...worth it for the end result though

oh my god.

your acctually nutter.

i cant wait for you to finish this and show the end result.

you must take loads of build up pictures

yeh, the dash board finally finally found where i was going wrong though. turns out they have 2 nuts holding it in place like the mk3's and 2's under the scutle panel. only when you look under the scuttle panel, loolk up slightly. the amount of times ive looked under there and ive been missing them ...

can any one tell me how the dash comes out?
ive loosened the 3 screws that hold it in place yet its like theres another screw at the back of the dash holding the top down.

thanks

to remove the dash on a mk1 (my mk1 anyhoo)
i had to take out the ash tray and undoi the screw behind that.
then undo the screw either side of the dash by the doors.

mk2's and mk3's is when you start havin to faf aboot under the bonnet

it has been a while so i doubt it but is it still there?
after doors, bonnet and tailgate.

thanks

just out of intrest.
what inlet manifold are you going to use?

Is there a bolt I've missed 2 to be precise. ste's pretty much hit the nail on the head. but i would also advise heating the sealer up with a blow torch. not to much mind because it will ignite eventually (trust me :shock: ). other wise you'll risk bending the wing when you try and pull it. dont fo...
