Re: 1979 Scirocco GLS 1272cc
Cheers guys! Nope no headliner for the time being but might end up fitting a beetle style headliner.
Arun tried the prototype s/s filler neck for the shape on my car at weekend it still needs tabs and the ring welding on. the fit is looking good though!

De-locked handles fitted

Bit of a change of plan with the engine. I will be trail fitting the throttle bodied engine but then it will be split for parts.

Mad'ins split with 0.5" wider dishes for the rear and all the dishes polished. Ready for rebuilding.

Re: 1979 Scirocco GLS 1272cc
I built the mad'ins back up and took them to see my friend Bryan. He left the tyres in sun in his car all day and they didn't put much of fight! The difference that half an inch makes to the stretch.
I fitted the air struts. Hoping to get it much lower to be honest. But it has helped motivation.
