Did you drive it with it running? hahaha

I'd give it a go atleast.

If its usless then maybe not, but if you kept it, it could definately be one of the 'coolest' mk 1's on the road!

Sorry, I couldn't resist
Made up an acetal splined sleeve with an internal thread and pressed it into the golfball. The next one i do, ill try just tapping a M12x1.5 thread straight into the ball.

haha long and soft. That's great dude!

[Stiggy_21]

Made up some black leather door pull straps. They've got dark blue stitching, as does the gear shift surround. Brakes and the valve cover will also be dark blue, I'll get them painted tomorrow

She's getting closer to being back on the road, just waiting on a few brake parts and other bobs.
Other than that, she's good to go
