Electric heated caddy life mirrors from Travelin lite. Covers sprayed gloss black by my paint man.

@Jordan92 . Sorry seem to be having a bit of trouble with Tapatalk. Thanks for your comment. They aren't cheap but they are good quality & easy to fit & a massive improvement on the factory mirrors.

Welded the rear seat brackets in today. Didn't take too long, used the ramp in work and dropped the tank just to be safeImageImage

Spent most of the day washing, decontaminating and waxing. Hopefully weather will behave, so it's gonna be just a quick wash next weekend before the Tatton Park.

Looking clean @Giddy.
I’ve done mine today. Decontaminated the paint, washed, polished and sealed it. I’m happy with how it looks.
I never managed to get the ghosting from the bonnet though, I’ve been advised by the guy who painted my bumpers that it’s too far gone and the bonnet needs a respray.

Had to change the A/C condenser today, old one has seen 200k+ miles and as such was a bit soft and insect/debris battered, A/C wasn’t getting cold enough either so I imagine it was having a negative affect on the intercooler and radiator! Few hours so not to bad of a job!Image

I picked up a set of Q7 front seats a few month back originally with the intention if fitting them to my T4.

Yesterday I threw them in the caddy and everything seems to line up on original bases.y only question is does anyone have experience running electrics to these seats? They are currently in a not so comfortable position so need to run electric to the motors to install permanently.

Cheers ImageImage

@davinci, Stan the man or Tommyzooom can make you some looms up mate. I’m not sure where you will pick up the power supply for them though. Someone who has done the mod will know.
