Project WKD Blue - just another mk2 on RS'

i honestly dont have any pics of it, and there wont be any till its done. however long that takes lol

Golt my rado rear bench sat in place this morning to see what i need to get to hold it all in place and function properly as i wanted it as close to factory as possibel so everything needs to work.

few pics






gonna try laying some black carpet, down either end to bridge the gap abit and finish it off nicely.

lookin good, do u think its gna be much work fitting them?

Na not overly, ive gotta get some longer bolts and sleeves for the top out mounts( the 1s you pull to fold the back down) then drill couple holes and bolt the bottom inner hindge to the floor. and i either need to cut a bit out of another seat for the lower out pin hindge or fab something up abd bolt or weld that down. the bases jsut push into place and clip into a hole thats already there. for the centre arm rest i just need to drill 2 holes and bolt the hindge down.

Once i get the material i need i cant see it taking very long atall, i did used to be a fabricator after all lol

all you need is some recaros now dude, rear bench looks well comfy, well once its all in properly anyways. get that bay underway man

matty i might have put it in the wrong section, ive got the bolts left from my conversion that i used if you want some freebies i'll get them to you at players

You mean the longer bolts for the top mounting point cuz the rado bench isnt as wide? if so that would be top bannana m8, have the got a sleeve on them aswell or just the bolt?

i'll measure mine up from my conversion and get you some from work this coming week i'll also try and square away the sleeves so you get a firm fitment from them.

it will give me something to do at work to be honest

that would be great fella, thanks

ill sort you a burger at players m8


jsut out of interest, did you cut the hinge off a standard bench and weld it to the floor for the outside bottom mountign point, or jsut use some form of bracket for the pin to fit in?

What ive been upto this afternoon











What you guys think?

Have got set of blue HT leads ordered and hopefully joewill be doing the letter on the cover blue too

Looks smart mate, will look well smart with blue leads and lettering!

yeh man much better, get some black tanks in there too! just had a look back to see the lettering bit and where it sits, gonna be awsome in blue! specialy wih the blue leads. had some mk3 vr6 samco kits in on a group buy the other day too, was wondering how many would fit on this when i had a sneaky look in the box

look'n good was the last pic of your knob or your dodgy music taste

Cheers, its black bbq texture paint. noticed its a right pain to clean already lol but looks quite cool


Haha yeah mark the pics was to show the new gear knob, and theres nothin wrong with my music taste

TINCHEY STRYDER!!! you lad!

Dan

Ah yeah they are a bloody pain in the arse i broke one lead doing it without the tool..bought plastic one and broke it.. so i bought a metal one and i havent managed to break that haha. Just give me a PM or what not when you wanna borrow it dude

How do Matty just to let you know i've got the bolts for your rear seats done including the sleeves. i managed to get the same thread as the original that came out so you should not have to modify the original mounts at all. (i know you want it OEM looking)

when doing my scrappage salvage i picked up a couple of these seat mounting covers as you need them to fill in under the rado seat

just sorting out your hinge brackets for the weekend. see you sunday

jim

Cheer m8, your a legend

just a quick update matty, if you've had no joy getting another seat base i'll square something away this week. these were the seat base brackets i used

then lined it up under the seat. i bolted mine in as im not a welder and didnt have access to one

you should also move the seatbelts about so they are equally placed. i'll show you sunday or when you fancy doing it

Cheers m8, really appriciate it.

Ive not been able to get another back seat, and realy id like to make a neater bracket for the outside mount, its just gettin some material really. and where as the mateymatey guide says to use a strip of the back seat for the middle mounts im just goin to mount them to the floor with self tappers and space it up if i have to cuz itll look alot better and more factory. i know no1 will see it but thats not the point

i know what your saying, i ignored the matey matey guide about the middle mounts and drilled and selftapped it also. the brackets cut from the seat are flush against the side of the back of the seat and go under the new corrado seat therefore not visible and providing the right angle for the seat to tilt forward and back.

i'll try to fabricate a replica of these at work tomorrow however if not then we have a golf floating around that may donate its rear seat. (its not worth anything else its a rustbucket)

Cheers, yeah i see what your sayig bout that brackets. spose it is whats its intended for at the end of the day. i asked caddy man if he had a seat and unluckily hed jsut got rid of 1 couple days before.

if youve got 1 you wouldnt mind sacrificing m8 that would be fan dabby doesy. ill sort you out at players for the help fella
