Bottom one was electrical and that's why I included it but it seems you've made your mind up![]()
Saw this a couple of hours ago....looks good sitting how it does!
I bought a "run around" car but it's a little too rough so I'm parting it out! Tell your friends
Wrecking Whole Car - 1996 MK3 GL Golf
righto, lil update time
I refinished that killswitch blank panel properly, looks much better now and am happy with it...
Boring I know, but I bought a new roof; Apparently the roof that's on there was new when I bought it? either it wasn't or it was a **** china roof because the seam at the rear has opened up. Been like it for a little while and is slowly getting worse so i've ordered a new, german made, seamless, original cloth top. Just need to summon the motivation to get it on!
Getting silly with the shaving now, i've decided to shave the headlight switch, haha.... plans are to convert the headlights and ignition switch with some oem looking buttons, hopefully it pulls off.....the "finished" pics at the end are unpainted but you get the idea....
gutted light switch with the locking mechanism left
Made a blanking panel
welded and sanded
Also bought some GTI clocks though the SEAT's light up orange and no one likes orange. whilst I was there I "flipped" the lcd.... (I'll throw up a DIY if there's interest)
Voided warranty?
BRAAAAAAP! yeh right.... haha
The polarising films are pretty cool, here's it removed;
First pic is the standard way and the second pic is just the film flipped over.
New light "filter" (piece of cut out paper)
and done!
I had white LED's for the lcd's to light up the digits white but they're too bright and they actually lit up the dark section a ****ty blue colour, so the standard bulbs will do for the moment till I figure out what ima do to achieve white digits.....
Now I opened and closed and installed and uninstalled this cluster I don't know how many times to get this right so like I said earlier, if you're interested, i'll make a DIY for everyone to follow with my tips included....
Some random pictures courtesy of instagram.... if you're on there hit me up, i'm a little more frequent on there with this thing than here...
new sticker, pretty much sums up my drivers vocabulary driving this thing static on the daily......
Wore down the fronts with my ghetto-****ty alignment so steelies were selected! bogans eat your hearts out!
