Arjan_m's 75 1.8 mod topic

Hi everyone!

After six years of driving a diesel (some of you know her...), I had to sell it because the taxes for diesel are going sky-high over here (+/- 400 euro every 3 months)

So last week I bought another 75, MidNhight Blue, but is a classic, so it has the cheapest cloth seats, and more plastic than other 75's (like the handbrake)

But of course I started with some modifications, so the premium feel is coming back:

When I bought it, this was how the inside looks:

A Harmony radio without CD-changer, non-electric windows a the rear. Not that I mind that, but it feels a bit like a "naked" 75....

After spending some time on a scrapyard I found the following mod's

1. walnut/leather steering wheel
2. Original chrome door cappings
3. Chrome mirror caps
4. Gearknob walnut / leather
5. Leather Handbrake grip in stead of the plastic one

Coming home I had some things from my diesel 75, so just went futher where I was started:
1. a PPD lighterr (for the purists.)
2. WinCE Head Unit.
3. Sandstone car mats in stead of black
4. MK2 airbag
5. NSF (left - LHD) grab handle
6. caps for the bolts of the seat belts
