[Banditbarron]

Great news bud. If you need a hand with any mods give me a shout

[ianFRST]

im going to leave it like this, for a few weeks at least. plan is to get a few mods together, then just blitz them all on over a weekend

[ianFRST]

purchased a few items for it recently.

i managed to get front electric window motors, touran door cards, and touran bases, the day i got the caddy

won this off ebay for £75, hopefully it will fit?

[broadmoor]

Nice , good luck with project ...

[Banditbarron]

It'll fit but needs a rare airbag for it

[ianFRST]

centre console purchased



mk6 golf seats being collected monday

[Banditbarron]

Awesome. Get the console off sirus? And which seats you get?

[ianFRST]

yeah went and collected it yesterday off him

just some bog standard mk6 golf seats, will do for now only cost £50 so worth a try

[Banditbarron]

Have you surced the airbag for that wheel yet?

I think mark aka dark has the correct part number

[ianFRST]

well i decided today was fitting of the centre console and armrest. and what a job that was. first up, strip it all down, so its easier to install. i tried to do it nicely, but it just wasnt playing, so i ripped the back and vents, and cup holder off the back, its easy to strip once all that is off

picture of the outer shell, v the old one.



the innards, are then in 2 parts, the front part, and the rear part with the armrest attatched



so i started by trying to fit the rear armrest part. about an hour or so of faffing around, i couldnt figure out how to attatch it to the handbrake lever


as from pics ive seen on here, there should be a bolt on the handbrake lever to bolt it to. well i didnt have this


well, i then found this in the ash tray when i got it from rudey lolo





fitted



chopped up the rear because of the bulkhead. and all done



tried to fit it all without cutting the rubber and the carpet, it didnt work had to take it all out again, to cut it up



touran frame bolted in, then time for new seats i collected from a business on ebay called "motors in motion" for £50



well, dont use them is all i can say. absolute scammers!! its not until i tried to fit them, that the drivers seat didnt quite line up. not sure why, so took it out, and the seats obviously been in an accident advertised as very good condition



this is the mechanism that raises and lowers the seat, you shouldnt see this as the metal panel its attatched to should be straight, and not bent like this



giving the seat to a friend whos a fabricator, to see if he can do anything with it

so i had to put the standard drivers seat back in, so it looks like this at the moment



will update when the other goes in

electric windows next i hope
