I like the idea of dark blue as will be different to black which does get used quite a lot.

Can't help with a full length sun roof - but my granada has a leccy sunroof which I'm happy to donate - also got the back seat arrangment which almost matches the seats already sourced.

Looks great, you gota do a bit more of a youtube on this :wink:

I reckon go vinyl on the roof and gotta have the lekky sunroof over the cab at least 8)

If it's staying at reading for the next meet and I got a weekend off I might be able to help with my upholstery skills and sturff. I'm not an automotive upholsterer mind. I spose a mk5 is almost an antique :lol: . Did any bits come from the surrogate mother Tim?

So far just the scuttle panel and the wipers! By the next meeting we may be having the plastic step 'buckets', if I can remove them :lol:

Get yourself along if you can Luke, we all have a load of fun and your skills will come in handy :D
