Mini Project: Save the Hooker... MK2 GTI 16v

**ranton-inc** · 16-03-2013, 11:19 AM

Central Locking kit fitted + a Boot Popper Installed (Just need to work out the wiring thanks to the half arsed chinese instructions!!!)

Thanks again MM and Hennie

Bumpers and Side trims Blackened with Bumper Paint...

Most importantly Model designation badges installed!!!

Last night was mostly consumed by the central locking system and running the wires for the Electric mirrors etc...and the power windows.. very frustrating work especially due to the wiring being so old and original!!!

More work to continue tomorrow night

Electric Mirrors installed and Working
Electric Windows working & glass installed
Central Locking all working
Sunroof Panel also re installed..

http

have a little bit of work to get the doors and the boot lid hanging right... they just arent 100% at the moment.

Headliner will also be reinstalled soon as well!

Tailgate and Windscreen hopefully going in tomorrow night...

and Quarter windows will go in when the Rear Panel Cards are Finalized.. (one is installed now)

Its starting to fly together now...

Also acquired a genuine set of Corrado Storm Speedline wheels today.. (I'm going more for the OEM look at the moment)
They clear the brakes perfectly and had nearly new Tyres that matched factory fitment...

Yes the car looks a little high but im not going for stance look.. (not at this stage any way)
So my Compomotive Wheels are up for Sale

It lives, runs, drives (what ever) with virtually everything working! (except reverse lights at the moment...)

All fully kitted out now and interior re assembled..

Speakers

Gauges and Panel being installed...

Doors and Panels Installled.

By the end of it all the seats were back in and we went for a test hoon!

Went nice sounded awesome.. not a super sonic jet but fun none the less..
