You're not the only one, I'm not to keen on it myself, I guess we'll get used to it tho..
I still admire the amount of work you put into your car, she's already a beauty but you just keep making it better!

Cheers Dan 6N!


Just picke this little fellow up:



Won't be using the axle though, it's a Golf mk3's, I'm just interested in the mounts for the discs and calipers want to fit it on the mk4, but with drilled Zimmermann discs and EBC pads though.

Got working again today, gladly got some help with the electronics from me bi-turbo mk4 mate, couldn't find the solution to my problems myself. He gladly sorted it out, had some major trouble with the alarmsystem and the alarm-indicators. But all works perfectly now!

Made a little video of all mk5 interior/dashboard parts working + the climatronic:



Next step -> window electronics, electronic mirrors, new airride electronics in the dash, sort out the working of the mk5 tacho & hook up the audio in the dash, then I can finally put in the dash without having to worry about any of the electronics which is behind it

Nice work mate!! I love seeing a car in pieces, makes it tht much more special when it's all back in and working after

Jarno is teh sex!

Sweet work as usual jarno, now I know someone who will tell me how to get the wiring sorted on the dash conversion when I get round to doing mine.

BTW. What parts did you have to change/get retrimmed when you did the roof lining and pillars? Which parts did you have to paint?

Daz

Daz, You'll need to recover the whole of the a b and c pillars if you want them to match....

Just so happens that I have a full set that you could purchase from me if you're interested as I cant be bothered to do it to my car now!

More details andy, very interested

I just had to do something retarded with the daily mk2 again, so dug up some crap on Ebay, and just let myself go today

What do you all think?

Thumbs up for the retro racer look!

Thumbs down to this lame forum look!

Haha, gets my vote!! That thing needs a damn good machine polish though!

Why? I've only washed the mk2 3 times now since it's mine
Got to work on the mk4 too tonight, finally got in the relais + relais harnesses, so got working on hooking up them electric windows.

2 quick pictures:

2 electric windows, 8 relais+8 harnesses, 2xpower+2xmass per side, and therefor a sh*tload of wiring involved


Buttons in the centreconsole, didn't like to looks on them in the doorcards, so get these instead, matches my preferances better.


Also made a mount for the 8 relais, which fits perfectly into the space where the codrivers airbag used to be, got rid of that so that saves me a hugh space in which I can cram al this stuf

good work !

love the malteasers

Great job with the relays, quick question, since the passengers side air bag is gon are yoing to convert that into an opening hatch/glove compartment?
