a pearlwhite '63 1500S notchback: SPRINTSTARS

[Bryan67]

The material looks awesome but I would hate to sit on it.

[Rocket Ron]

yes, but sit down before you read the price... 

the colors available are #87 mesh red - #74 blue cord - #71 brown cord

and its $200 per yard... on average complete front & rear seats need 5 to 6 yards depending on model

( check with who is going to sew the covers for you before you make a purchase... )

sorry to post on here again but I've managed to pick up a rear seat back on German eBay in the correct material so there should be enough on the seat back to repair my front seat

PS i love white notches , good luck with the rebuild it's gonna be cool 

[Steve67]

not a bad idea, it would be the bomb with 356 drumbrakes... 

@ Steve, perhaps you have some pictures of your interior?

thx,

sorry,
the car is completely stripped at the moment and I do not have any picutres of the interior...

[wolfswest]

okay, no problem.
Not much of an update right now.  I went to the customs last friday for officialy import the car and I started collecting parts, this week I will shoot some pictures of the new arrived parts  .
I installed a new starter and I hired a steam cleaner for the interior.  The seats came out nice, not new but very acceptable with a "patina" touch...

Well, great news guys, I went to the technical control this morning (two stations to be exact  , new rules since nov. the first for oldies)
and it passed, I got a green card!

PLAYTIME!
watch this space because this old lady is gonna get a new improved stance pretty soon! 
In the meanwhile I scored a few goodies: white front indicators (thx tim) a hurst trigger shifter, a vintage chronograph, yellow bulbs for the front lights and some swedish gravel guards,  okay start trowing rocks now....

what are they

[wolfswest]

if you want to register your car with an O plate and the car used to be a foreign car then you can only go to nazareth anymore since 1 nov.  This is for the SBAT group, maybe it's different in the dirty side of the country 
So all you flemish people out there, keep this in mind!

Hi Guys,

A good day for me, I just received my license plate, nothing special in most cases but it's the last day here in Belgium we receive a small license plate.  Next week everybody will receive the european style plates which are way too big to look nice!

Also a vew goodies arrived and I already had some stuff laying around:

a very nice hurst shifter, now I need to find the plastic cover and the rubber, a nice reflector base because I had one with bad chrome and a chronograph to mount on my rear view mirror.

Also a pair of original swedish vw gravel guards, not 100% callook but I need them to cover up the holes the previous owner made to install some mudflaps...  I guess this is better then mudflaps! 

And I lowered the front 2 splines, looks good!  better pictures will follow but it's hard to get a decent picture in my sleazy garage...

Have you started looking for a Belgian resto cal club scouting for members yet?   

Very well done on the lowering, I didn't know you had it in you  All of this without help! And now you have the numberplate, please drive it.

[Turtle001]

we have try to meet before the new year hé brothers (i know i know i wasn't there on the last club meet) -- those guards are way too shiny  but will fit your restocal look ;-)

yeah, cip1 carries them but their shipping costs to europe are way too expensive, 45 dollar for a rubber?  If someone can help me out I would appreciate it a lot! 

[wolfswest]

these bad boys arrived last week.  I think they suit the car colour scheme pretty well.
Next week I'm gonna mount the tires: 145's in the front, 185/70 in the back.
pictures to follow!

[Turtle001]

ugly !






ps.  sell 'm to me for 200 euros :-D

[donder]

Some people would say : morgen?  ge hebt nen iphone, ipad, ipod, iquit ietc godverdomme!!!  FOTO's NU!!!!!!!!

 

[Peter]

Get your ass out of your chair

[wolfswest]

the sprintstars are mounted.

145's in the front, 205/70 in the back.  Fits like a glove!  I will take some awesome shots  tomorrow when I can take the car for a spin but for now you guys need to settle with these crappy cellphone pictures... 

[Bryan67]

That loos great. I think I want some of those wheels.

[Peter]

[Nico86]

[wolfswest]

Hi Dem,

nice one.
I would wind it down one spline at the back.

one spline will be too much, 1 inch would be my idea.

One spline would be just fine, I think it gives around 4 cm of drop. Just check Felix's ride which sits about perfect.
