yeah its generally tidy has had lots of welding in the past but to a good standard main thing is the interior is the awful beige would like to install a black turbo leather if I can get it to half the standard of yours i'll be very happy

i think the beige interior is kind of cool and is right for the car in my imo. And if the cav is origanal colour its bordeux red satin red came on the turbos. Nice gsi though.

I've got the beige interior in my black GSI & I don't mind it, it's not offensive in any way. But if you want leather then go for it.

I quite like the interior too, quite a nice contrast to the dark paintwork.

I've got a similar interior in my CD auto.

The local romanians do a good job for about £5

Strong money for a set with flat foam, knackered bolsters and non-Turbo rear seats.

just a small update been having a few idle issues so cleaned throttle body icv along with new plugs and a correct set of leads now much better still getting the odd moment it will idle at 1100rpm but I belive I have found the fault as the sfi box sealing gasket is missing sorry it's not much of an update and didn't see point in pics as is pretty basic issues I have decided to keep the beige interior but I need some mint front door cards

If you do happen to change your mind back to wanting leather interior I may be interested in the beige interior

beermonsterblack · Post by **beermonsterblack** » Mon May 11, 2015 5:06 pm

right ok bit of an update as previously said I had some electrical issues such as

so with all that lot sorted and all the junk wiring removed all is now back to normal but also found this issue aswell

but now have a replacement for that but will fit once I have removed the dash

now I was planning on keeping the beige interior but I could not find the door cards I needed so me and a m8 did a 500 mile round trip

to collect a black interior from a 94 sri so I started on the door cards today and a speaker upgrade too

need some blanks for the rears

also treated her to this (excuse the dog)

I do have to get some repairs done to the drivers seat as is the norm and get the rear base covers adapted for the gsi rear bench but will keep the updates coming as they happen

I have now found a black interior m8 but tbf I wouldn't want to sell the beige interior as it is poor condition and the door cards are missing most of the brakets that hold the clips drivers seat is shot and im probably going to use the passenger seat to repair my new drivers seat

That looks disheartening. Have u checked your chassis legs

beermonsterblack · Post by **beermonsterblack** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 6:51 pm

they were repaired before I bought it but not a great job just patched and under sealed for mot so I will probably redo it all as I get to it

Interesting that has calibrated clocks installed. Could have been a police vehicle originally if they are original.
