My B5 passat... Not realy a build.

Thanks mate! You doing your headlining as well? I have a tip for you. Don't use the spray contact glue. Use the stuff out the pot. Much better!

[Dwob]

I sure am! got 4 yards of the stuff, enough for healiner and any other little pieces i wanna do. i used industrial strength from the can, worked really well. but ill take your advice on the headliner! whats it called?

[LukeyBabes]

Im from the uk. But its just contact adhesive. Bought from a DIY shop. I poured it on the headliner and then waited a few mins for it to dry a bit so it didn't all seep through the material. And pressed it on. Hasn't come down yet like all of the spray glues do.

@Luke, how hard was it to take your pillars off?
I'm gunna suede mine tonight and if it's not too much of a bitch,
Do the headliner, trim, annnndd console tomorrow

[LukeyBabes]

Easiest thing to do. They are just push fit fittings. So you just pull them off! To get the headlining off you just take the pillars, grab handles and sunvisors off and it comes down. easy.

love it!

Thanks mate.

Picked up my new interior today! Got a bargain because it was dirty because of being in storage for a while. And i even got more bits than were advertised! Almost got a full interior. apart from the a pillar trims, 1 of the c pillar trims, headlining, carpet and headlining.
I only need the seats and centers of the door cars. So if you need anything from a cream leather b5/b5.5 interior let me know. And it came with net optic handle and ash tray trim. Also for sale.

All this for £250 because it was dirty. And they are heated seats. AND it even came with the wiring loom!

A lot of pictures now!

HAI! from a long distance cousin owner (B5 A4). Went through this, loving it. Especially your degree from Oxford. Kinda wish I could find a full cream interior for super cheap

[robcouzens]

Yeah im from the uk. And no i didnt get them from that magazine.lol. My mate makes the dice and sells them.

Thanks. But they arnt staying cream for long.

I just ordered the dye to make them tan! And a kit to fix the little rips. Should get here tuesday!

Took the rest of teh cream plastics off the rest of the seats today. So i could get access to all of the leather. Plus im replacing all the plastics with black bits anyway.
And i also cut all the centers out the door cards to dye them.



Because im going to take the fabric bits out of my door cars and put the tan centers in place of those with the black.

[robcouzens]

yea i saw that above. black and tan will go really well! if it comes out successful im going to get some black to rejuvenate my interior

[LaMaR-]

I am up in Scotland and just picked up a issue of fastcar the other day same dice lol. Great build cant wait to see more

@luke. Did my A pillars and console over the weekend.. Hot glue works wonders for the fabric edges. As for my B pillars, that requires me to take my seat belts out. My hands are too big
