Stunning mate - I know the interior will be covered up but will you not see some blue still ?
No, no blue at all. The only original exposed metal was above the rear passenger door cards, I have a set from a GTE to go which come right up to the window.Quote:

Not sure about the rear bumper though, I think the mk2 looks a bit more manly lol but its all good. Are they my old rear door cards your referring to? as im not sure they come right up to cover the metal, thought that was just gsi's?!

iain
top job love the colour!
Got a new thermostat, alternator (& water pump) belt and new jubilee clips today so I could get some coolant in there and get the engine running for good. Started first time, then started smoking like a chimney. As expected, the paint on the manifold was not up to the job and is starting to blister. Anyhoo, got up to temp and all the air is out the coolant system now.

Got the carpets in and trimmed around my boot release handle.

Then in went the passenger door seal and rear side window to keep the roof cloth in place.

Happy so far with how the roof cloth is looking.
Have glued the drivers side roof cloth down around the windscreen and fitted the drivers door seal. The windscreen is going in tomorrow. Then the rest of the roof cloth will get glued down.
