In the meantime, I did manage to acquire a few things for the Fox during these past few months, some of which I am installing soon, others which will have to wait.

This is what I'm most excited about




They were a nightmare to purchase long distance and it was a long wait to have them brought over - I would never do it again - but I'm glad it's over and done with and they're home It'll be a while before they go in as it will be along with a 10.1 brake upgrade and other bits such as control arm bushings, ball joints and tie rod ends - but all that will all have to wait as first I'll have to complete some work in our Jeep - our "safe" vehicle - to keep it safe for our baby girl

In between working on the Jeep I am managing to install power windows and door locks on the Fox though - which is straightforward and very satisfying



The power window switches will mount on the console - this is going against what VW did in Brazil (the switches were mounted on the door cards) but I prefer them on the console for convenience.

Thank you Diggymart! I’ll have other updates soon as I’ve finished the interior upholstery, front suspension and brake upgrades, and I hope to start posting videos more regularly as well. Cheers!

My pleasure, very glad to have my build featured - thanks for everything! From day one I've seen how hard you've been working on this site and you made it exactly the way us car nuts love - a great place to quickly access great builds and helpful info, along with a easy to use platform to post new content, even easier than the forums. Many props to a great site!
