Take them out of the packet and compare them, I ordered about 3 or 4 of one side as it kept coming blue/grey but in a packet part numbered up as the grey one!
Ooh, bit harsh that Mark! TBH I wouldnt want to take on anything like this again.Quote:

Good luck with the project. Seems strange seeing the first pic outside my parents house.
I have good pair of early doors here if your require some...
Well done Greg.
Awesome work, agree on the original part comments, but what done is done.
Good stuff fella! I also agree with the parts comments. Real shame the original stuff has been split from it.
Good luck with the project mate, will be keeping an eye out :)
Hi mate
love the sport good progress its just a real shame it cannot be reunited with its original inteerior and engine a real shame:mad: but keep up the hard work!!:thumb:
He's buying the original engine from me to put into the Sport :thumb: But the interior is staying with me for my Mk1 :)

Good luck with the restoration. Glad to see somethings being done with the car :thumb:

The original interior from it isnt that amazing anyway. Had some fag burns (No by me) back in 1998. The drivers bolster had worn and the rear seat tops faded from the sun.
Also forgot that a ferrel cat snuck into my unit at the time through a hole and bedded up on it for a few weeks. Wonder whether the fleas are still alive?lol
