say goodbye to stocko chrome mirrors!
and may i introduce Jeffreys Jsports mirrors from japan -thats alot of J's, heres another incase the guy reads this
Jesse, thanks for helping boss lady out, they are awesome  
and without further delay...
thats all for now, gotta read/translate destructions for wiring and swap the stock LH door for my spare with mirror hole!
dear boss lady: 
-as for the rest, hope you like them, if not i dont care cos i think they look great 
oh and fitment etc seems nice as far as first impressions go, glass is like the tiguan rear view mirror, anti glare kinda thing, looks nice
(yes ok i will admit that ive been waiting around all day for them to show up, damn online tracking!)

I gather you're planning to road register the car given your mirrors have indicators. I take it they are LED?? Photos with them working please.

Update from Boss Lady while Dave is finding stuff. Photos of the mirrors lit up, and a vid for authentic flashing motion. :-)
The vid may not work, so I might have to post a different link. We'll see.

Do you have a link for where those mirrors came from? I think I remember seeing them before and they were quite pricey, but they look the goods.

vison on both sides is awesome, they sit at a height almost the same as the top edge of the stock mirrors, works for me being relatively tall, also
the actual mirror itself is the same size if not bigger than stock + the convex factor makes vision awesome, no glare on the way home so whatever they
are coated in is great, similar to the blue bit on the top of windscreens? anywho bedtime, maybe after a refill, one day weekends deserve a drink or 7

If you think work and a woman take up your time, you are in for one hell of a shock when you have kids OMG. Maybe it's just my daughter, but she is always wanting her Dad for something.
I have already told her during the next school holidays that she has to help me work on the car. But in reality, this just slows me down and now I
need to be careful of the paint
Mirrors look good and will suit the STIDUB.

ok people, ive cleaned the rubber shit off the 944 springplates, great job that is, turns out i am black, well was, bandsaw, linishing belt, then wire
wheel on bench grinder worked a treat, came up awesome, but not a job i ever want to do again, very time consuming & meeeeeesssssyyyy!
pics later, oh swapped LH door over to the one with mirror hole, lines up nicely just how i bolted it on, practise is priceless eh?
now, do i run 1 peice windows because of the planned rollcage or do i keep the 1/4's in ignoring the fact they are then useless... im aware of the
lack of sealing etc on 1peice but dont see an alternative

I was never happy with the sealing on one piece windows either when I did mine. The trick is to cut out the metal part of the seal so you can get it
to follow the curve of the door and stick it on...

I have one piece windows. Don't really care about the sealing stuff, but they do run perfectly in the channels.
I've modded the dash so the front cage legs follow the windscreen and 'a' pillar real close. Can easily use the winders.

just been buying things over the holidays, waiting for shops to reopen then the ally work begins ac/dc tig welder time, have the pipe for water lines now, just gotta source a few bends/donuts that i cant do at home,
hopefully will only have 4x hoses for the water system, ignoring the ones littered across the engine of course, oh and just for a laugh...
the original VF30 just below it could almost fit inside the intake...
oh, nothing exciting just got some freebie wheels for it, ive heard rumours of a turbo ej20 ghia being parked next to my beetle too

dear beetle, why are you so mean?
been doing a few odd jobs around the bug while ive had a spare 5mins or so recently, now discovered my floorpans rear 1/4s are rather bent, not sure
how/when this happened but id say its a jacking incident, only noticed after taking everything out of the interior to suss out where my
turbo/exhaust/intake has to go
in short, we arent on speaking terms anymore tonight 
oh in other news ive been saving for something...

Lesson for the day, the only straight/level edge to use as a guide on the dash is the radio hole, the rest is curved - must admit i didnt think of
that, all good now though, just need to weld an extra bit to my new section
