    Not really much to update on this, the timing pin is fixed, ended up pulling the gearbox More info here



    I'm going to leave it in it's current spec for a while and just enjoy driving it rather than working on it, although the headlining it knackered and kept droping down and blocking the rear view so I pulled that out



    I've ordered some samples of black fake alcantara off Ebay, then I'll either paint or wrap the plastic trim panels to match.

    Also fitted a glass sunroof whilst the headlining was out

      If you got the same stuff I bought off ebay they are really good. Make sure you get proper glue, spray or brushed that is heat resistant.

          Search for black alcantara-alicante on ebay.co.uk

          I actually have some left at Brian's that he will be using for his S2 and perhaps a good amount to spare for myself if something needs redoing.

            Glad you got the timing pin sorted in the end, sounds like it was a right PITA.
            Anyway, looking forward to seeing you doing the headlining mate

              First couple of panels re-trimmed in faux alcantara and grab handles painted satin black





              This upholstery lark is tricky, I'm not looking forward to doing the headlining!!
