Yeah, paint needs some work as well as the engine and interior. But it wouldn't be as fun if everything was already done haha

So for a while now, my window seals and scrapers have been doing my head in, and being so expensive to replace the whole lot, I decided to go digging.

I read on another forum that mk3 window seals could be used, so I took some measurements and, low and behold, they were almost the same length and height.

Here is how I did it.

Pick some seals up from your local scrappy (they're impossible to get new).
Now let's make it fit in there...
You will need the following
First, cut the thing in half along the join in the rubber like so
and trim to fit the mk1 window scraper slot
Then place it in there and make sure it's tight
Now simply trim the remaining seal to fit the upper section. Do one end at a time to make extra sure it fits nice and snug
Put it in and put the windows up firmly. This will help the rubber change shape. Leave it for a while and should be good to go.
Cost me 12 bucks from the scrappy for the pair. Much nicer than these old things haha
Good luck.

Btw, I left my inner scrapers for the time being, to be replaced at a later stage
