Small Update. Got the heated seats working!
Lots of wiring!!
How the wires come out from the carpet! OEM!!
Switches with Illumination working!!
And i put a relay in just to stop people leaving them switched on and getting a flat battery!!
Ive been busy seriously looking at doing a 1.8T conversion. Ive even got some people willing to help me!! Looks like im going to use the AUM engine so i can still have fly by wire for cruise control
while trying to keep it as OEM as possible!!

Nice work mate. Look forward to seeing the 20V T conversion. I am collecting parts for doing one myself so will be interesting to see what route you take

I'm gunna buy a slammed up the arse mk4 golf! Take all the bits off I need so far I know that I'm gunna use MK4 engine mounts because apparently don't need to cut a huge bit out the chassis leg for gearbox to clear! And R32 dog leg gearbox mount. Biggest issue I can see is the wiring loom!!

I fitted some ghetto blasters this morning.
They sound banging!!
I also didn't need any spacers for the speaker fitment!!
I've also used the wiring that was already there only because of that stupid plug on the car body!!

I'd assume because of the crossover theyre components, any trouble swapping tweeters?
