Thanks mate, I'm really looking forward to driving her again :D It's running & I have driven in & out of the workshop which has given me some enthusiasm to crack on & get it done.

If there is anyone out there with a mk1/2, van or pickup that has picture of their interior I'd be grateful if you could post it up as I'm not sure how the door card fillet trim panel things fit. The bits that hold the front door cards in place.

Wow Josh, that paint has come up well! Looks well good :)

EDIT: Also, that hoover looks IMPRESSIVE. I bet it has a high flow capacity rate.

Looks nice Josh, good job.

Have you seen this? a certain website has a guide on how to fit them, I think Newton Commercial do :w00t: Did you buy your door cards new from them or are they originals?

I'm just not sure which way round they go & which way to bend the folds Craig, difficult to explain.

Actually just looking at that diagram, I had them upside down >_< That might explain why I thought they didn't seem quite right!

& they're the original door cards Craig, they cleaned up pretty well, new trims though, you can see the difference.
