Zed's Build Thread....
Well I thought it's about time Zed had his own build thread seeing as he and I have been through so much. Here goes..

Yum, yum! Looking forward to seeing what the 'optional-extra' dash will look like
Re: Zed's Build Thread....
If only you knew something about cars you could have done all that work yourself...
And when the hell did you get the Cream Recaro's, they look so much nicer in the Blackberry than the old set up.

no. i was after a beige rear shelf but i then recovered mine but if one came up that wasnt too expensive id probably have it. the thing i really need is a beige rubber sunroof strip thing (that goes round the sunroof panel on the inside)

Re: Zed's Build Thread....
I'm assuming these aren't available from VW any more? Might be worth checking out Passats with the same roof?
