Frah2o

Recommended Posts

While primer coat is drying on strut bars and rollacage i moved on Seats.

I removed the black paint and i stat to flock the seat.

I use the self adhesive flocking (0.8 m) uded for jewel

Now i'have to study how to place the "Recaro" or "Corbeau" decal on headrest.

I finished the clear coat work on carbon door trim.

Yeah my first MK3 in 96 was my first new car, then it led to many many many more VW's over the years. Street cars, circuit cars, rally cars, etc.

While i'm waiting the drying paint of rollcage and strut bars, i worked on seat brackets

I've seen many brackets (Sparco, OMP, Recaro, Rennsport and Wiechers), so i reproduced a custom bracket using Lego that for me are prefcet with size and shape

After a quick size and fit checking, i smoothed the bracket and i holed them for a futur fixing with 1.4 nut and bolt

Before to check the rollcage I removed from the rear carbon trim the central pillar cover....everything is good with good clearence

I then fitted the rear and front struts bar and i think looks is goood and enhance the general view of my little GTI

I finished the paint work on swat bracket: 1 primer coat, 2 matt black coat and 2 final clear matt coat

To fix the barcket on floor i use M 1,4 bolts and nuts

I use a longer rear bolt to fix the belts, but many friends tell me is good looking a dedicated bolts to fix them
I fitted a new bolt for future belts system

I made some test with 3 possible belts color: I asked to some tuning friends and model frieds. I choose finally the black belts. I think is more elegant

I flocked the pillars like on my 1:1 GTI

I worked on carbon door card.

I add a round frame on manual glass knob, I add a yellow stripe to close the door and a metal wire to open the door from inside....and finally I added a metal knob to regulate the mirror.
I also fitted the last rubber trim on trunk

And some pics with bodyshell and fenders mounted

I’m finally arrived to marriage chassis and bodyshell

Before make this, i stripped out the chrome from rear badge and I repainted them in semi matt black

I adjusted the height of door hinges to match all panel lines

I worked on tail light to match the combo color lenses of the Golf Special edition. I also flocked the inside of tail lights

I also give some detail to front radiator bar: I drilled the blankes holes and repainted in titanium gold the bonnet latch. I’ll add in the future some final PE and bolts.

Incompleted the inlet air system for oil cooler radiator duct. The yellow hose start from the removesd high beam light and link to radiator duct.

To fix the metal mesh i machined the lenses of high beam light. I also add the bixenon bulb on black headlight.

To reach a total dark look I black painted the mesh....i also added the PE screw for beam regulation.

I did some detail work adding some head bolts on Airbox bracker and radiator bracket, at the end i completed the last air hose inlet for airbox.
