Fitted the door handle recesses and then the handles - glad that is out of the way. You can also see some of the highly enjoyable body prep I have been doing. Now onto fitting the central locking servos in the doors. I may even change my wooden steering rack this week !

Paul,
looking really good. I like the idea of central locking. What units did you use? Was it hard to sort out and fit?
Sorry for all the silly questions!!
Cheers

The remote central locking kit came from : - http://www.diygti.com/
about £30 as I remember.
Was really easy to fit - it comes with a prewired loom that you just have to plug the correct coloured cables together. It came with 4 actuators so I removed the extra cabling from the loom. The only tricky bit is getting the electrics into the doors - I used the rubber sleeves off a metro GTI door !
You just have to mount the remote unit and get some permanent power to it.

Paul, very interested in this central locking pic. Can I ask, are you using these door locks / catches in the picture below? If so, how do the central locking motors "drive " the catch - or do you have a separate deadlock pin through the door?
On the SVA issues, have you thought about putting the indicators in the NACA ducts? Long thin repeater units reengineered with a 21W bulb seem to fit and can be fitted without any permanent body damage. I got the idea from Frank Catt and think it will work fine on my CAV.
