Thanks. I really can't wait to get it done and enjoy it either. Even tho I love my mk2 I miss this car and how much fun I had in it.

The plan tonight was to weld the final brackets and have the centre console/handbrake surround mounted 100% but I lost my box of speed clips so could do **** all on that front.

I grabbed my A pillar trims and decided to cut them to suit the new dash. I done the usual of taking a bit off at a time and keep offering it up but somehow on the first cut i cut the wrong angle and made a balls of the drivers side. The longer one is the correct length and angle I needed. The shorter is what I cut lol:

I got the passenger side cut perfect and here is it in place:

I brought it home and trimmed it in the same material as the door cards (excuse the clips holding the edges in place):

Cheers lads. I spent yesterday clearing out the yard and getting a load ready to take to scrap today so all I got done was made the brackets for the handbrake surround. Today I'll weld them and going to paint the inside of the car.

I'd need to watch out because this is the 3rd update in 3 nights. It's looking suspiciously like progress is being made lol.

Done a scrap run to get a few quid coming up to christmas so didn't get a lot done today.

I finished trimming the a pillar and got the excess tucked round the back of it with a method that will never let go so the door cards will be less of a worry now

I've been talking about painting the car inside as I'm sick of it being multicoloured so I decided to start under the rear seats for tonight. Got abit carried away and ended up near the dash. I need to remove the dash to finish it so this is as far as i got today:

Frig me is that handbrake secure lol?! Suppose it'll be pulled up and not to the side

Handbrake cover will look grand once you get the rest of the updated dash in i reckon Grenade knob is

 

[natogreen16v]

the handbrake is well welded cos i purposely tried to break it to test it. the plate its welded to is bolted to a flat surface so its going nowhere.partying this weekend so no updates til Monday

 

[DaddyCC]

I never once doubted your skillz Conrad

 

[Fatman]

I never once doubted your skillz Conrad

[natogreen16v]

stefan you've no skills to doubt judging by the progress on the mk1 and your love for fitting wheel bearings... ohhhh :-P

 

[Fatman]

He went there! Well judging by the progress on this... UD 2020 is definitely a possibility!

 

[natogreen16v]

don't mention UD round the mk1. or did u forget that was the original plan? :-P

 

[Deemc]

In seriousness tho.. Do you think itll be ready for UD this year?? Dont see why not really...

 

[Bono872]

He went there! Well judging by the progress on this... UD 2020 is definitely a possibility!

I think that's being a tad optimistic. Should be ready for paint about then

 

[natogreen16v]

tbh dee i can't see why not myself if i keep at it.

 

[Boydie]
