Interior pretty much sorted. It was leapin'
Few bits of trim broken which will be replaced and the radio is waiting a new loom which arrived today.
Also stuck a new aerial in and spent an age getting the wire through to the headunit slot. What a pain in the arse that was.
New hot and cold air feeds also fitted.
And thats pretty much it for now. I've an advance timing light on order so I can do the timing properly, there's a slight blow on the exhaist and need new mats and a few odds and ends but hopefully next update will be it on the road.

Ah don't worry. Thanks for looking for me though, hope you didn't go to too much trouble!
I've ordered most bits now, but I'm still missing the caps that cover the bolts for the base of the rear seats (x3), lower boot trim on the inside and the plastic peg for the interior door lock on the passenger side. The gear stick surround also looks like it'll need replacing soon but it's there at least.
Thats great work so far i'm sure your over the moon with the gloss to the paint work, my last mk2 i stripped everything from the interior including the heater box as i wanted to replace the matrix found this inside
ended up like this new seals matrix etc

This was a bust, he's really only interested in tuning and trackdays so didn't really get why re-creating an old dealer sticker would be so cool.
Yours looks spot on but I think doing it in the OEM font would be nicer? Maybe talk to @Neil@rockvale as he has a strong VW background?
Brilliant thanks
Left hand drive? What is it?
was a Rallye but it's long gone now
to be honest i was done with it anyway.Had a rummage in the garage but the only thing so far i can find is a brand new sunroof arm, will keep looking i have another couple of boxes.
Like the way your following up with original dealer stuff , i did it with a mk1 gti i had years ago, had mike wylie make me original font agnew plates for it.
can't believe how good a shape yours is in even the scuttle looks mint

Haha yeah mate of mine didn't get it either. Thought it was mad I wasn't slamming it on £2k BBS rims.
Re the font I'm not sure if there was any consistency at all on what way dealers stickers were made up? Can only go from a few examples I found online from the time. All over the place...
So I figured maybe they used the same font as the keyring if they had dealer stickers at all. Was the best I could come up with lol

I'll have a plunder, I've boxes of trim bits lying...still raging about the cassette box as I'm not one for throwing stuff out.
Defo dont have the inner boot trim, assume the one the runs along the boot lip? they are very rare to get one that ain't bust to pieces as they are pretty flimsy, I do have a rear boot panel itself that clips on inside of the bootlid
Funny those dealer back window stickers, I've a spare tailgate and it had that dovercourt dealer sticker as I remember thinking it was quite jazzy looking for 90s sticker.
@jimc did the Rallye stay local or go across the water?

@Coog what clocks are in your car? Found a set of vdo 120mph clocks you can have as zero use to me.
door pin, set of small bumper front moulded mudflaps, harness adapter, gearknob, gear surround. No rubber bit for gear stick though or rear bench mounting bolt covers
If any use? Its just clutter to me!
Dovercourt!
