Scirocco Register

Where the headlining folds around the windscreen frame it had come a bit loose in places so I popped up there today to try and fix it back in place.

Drivers side needed properly fixing, spray adhesive the full length



A couple of bulldog clips to keep it in place



A couple of other places just needed a bit of sticking down with flexible super glue (and some more bulldog clips)

Prep work has started



Bonnet is having a re-spray as well (plus a couple of little dents filled)

The rust at the rear doesn't look as bad as I thought it was now its been ground back

Badge holes ground back ready to be filled with weld

Popped up there to try the rear window in and make sure it all lined up, needs a couple of slight adjustments before paint but looking good!

Got another pair of Alpines for the front doors

I've spent ages trying to decide on a head unit, I wanted one with proper ipod control (I'm doing well for an old git and don't own many CD's anymore!), also needed to have the USB connection at the rear as I don't want wires hanging down the front but it still needed to blend in with the dash and not too modern.
A lot of the 'retro' headunits look the part but either don't have rear USB ports or don't have proper ipod control and most modern head units will stick out like a sore thumb in the 'rocco's dash.
I finally settled on on and she arrived this morning.

Oh, obviously also needed to fit within my budget (cheap!) as well





Not tried it in the dash yet as the car is still at the bodyshop, but I think it should look ok.

Like that, nice and simple.

Cheers, just want to try it and see how it looks fitted now!

Picked her up yesterday!



Glad I got him to do the bonnet while she was in

He's done a brilliant job on the repairs

Glass went in nice and easily



So much better with the badges gone as well

Was a bit naughty and drove her home with no 'screen (new one's not due to be fitted until end of the month)
