What I have done in the past as one is in a bad state , the thermo fan , was to position the wires where they should and clear silicone them in. Couple days later reconnect them up and the wires haven't moved . Anyway be interesting to see if new ones are possible
-
That second picture , my red door light had its day today and the inside of that connector in your hand is a bit mushy and the wires are just moving in and out freely . Must be a pretty common fault.

Nice one mate , no rush 😎
-
Had a reprieve from the rain and dived in the parts shed and took off the front left handle @242GT no red lights mate , I'll take a spare if you have one mate 👍 So , here's a shot of a back with a front and you see the difference in length Then I took the hook off the spare Grinded the v70 a little on the black one Then…

They're from a V70 apparently . Not a clue on the year . I've never seen one in the flesh , must be quite rare
-
@Ex850R Here you go , been trying to find one for a long time . So I settled with the one I got unfortunately
-
Hey mate , I'll let you know on that . My spare doors are in the other shed but it's pouring down over here , not stopped raining since yesterday 😟 Oh and no not changed the headlining mate 👍
-
I changed all the speakers a couple of years ago now , everything is now 4 ohms 👍 Yeah the headlining , if mine wasn't so good I'd go straight for black suede , here’s a couple of pictures of mine Pretty good condition and a good contrast being light grey I think, need to paint the rear grab handles...
-
Now Nice easy upgrade to do , I got the handles from the Legend know as Ash . Cheers mate appreciated , luckily he had these 2 in my colour the other two are red so need painting . While I had the door open the red light crapped its self Just another thing to sort out , hopefully have a spare . Side note... The top 6…

A lot of small parts in there and they love to pop out . I remember reading as well to use blue LED's on these they need resistors as well but no remarks on what kind and where they go ...
-
Yeah we were talking about a coloured stitch yesterday when he made it but I'm keen on black on black . I'll get the dash pad done hopefully this year in probably suede and he promised me a quick turnaround on that lol . Also to cover the boot in black vinyl rather than leather or suede. Head unit , couple of screen shots…
-
Bit of an update then on the interior , at last ..... Went around yesterday morning and watched him make it , looks great Also changed the rear one , got rid of the child seat Hmm pictures are coming out sideways 🤔 Been messing with vinyl paint again and painted the sun visors and front grab handles... Been trying these as…

Gently run in 🤣

You've got me thinking . Just been looking at web sites and found one in Rockingham 10 minutes from me . Prestige fibreglass . Looking at the site they also do body panels and custom work . I'll drop by sometime this week and have a chat ....

Iv'e been looking into these for a few weeks now as it's been bugging me looking at the car it looks like the wheels are 'poking out ' at the top . The alignment is spot on , but still yet to put new Eibach springs on the front . Hopefully when the new springs are in it'll give me some camber but i'm not holding my breath…
-
The unfortunate thing is i have to drive through my garage to get to the shed lol , the car just slides through luckily , also a good job i have a smaller shed that is now full of body parts 🤔 . I need another shed for the garden stuff now .....
-
Had a few busy evenings this week , got my arse into gear and done something about the shed so when need be I can work on the car inthe shed . How it was ... Then finish it off yesterday Enough room to get the car in now and open all doors , happy days 😎
-
So I rang the bloke on tuesday , not even looked at it . Apparently ready next friday 🤬 I try my best to keep things local , but this is a joke , he done a damn good job on the head lining on the tt and was done pretty quickly hence I went back to him . ..
-
That would be perfect for the dogs 👍
-
Minimum wheel size ? Out of curiosity
-
Yeah my guess was either 40s or 45s 👍
-
Looks lovely 😎😎

Gotta keep the hoe's happy

I recovered a set in mine with thicker carpet , due to the sub going in the floor . They fit a bit more sungly ( if that's a word lol) as I didn't want them to rattle . I'm thinking of doing it all again in black or charcoal vinyl, leather or alcantara....
