Title: Sea Of Blue (Update) Post by: Bryan67 on November 02, 2009, 03:56:48 am Here`s some before and after shots of my 66 beater/driver. I don`t really have any shots of the conversion but here`s the rundown. This car was owned by a city employee here and was seen driving around town for years. He recently sold it to an old neighbor of mine and when I totaled my Fastback I was without a vehicle. So I made him an offer and it became mine.

Title: Re: Sea Of Blue Post by: Bryan67 on November 17, 2009, 06:20:47 am Actually Jeff, they are poly bucket seats but close enough. And for Zach`s question, I used Bugpack window rubber and have to say I`m not really happy with it. It went on ok but has a big ugly seam where its bonded together and the bottom corners of the windshield have forced the rubber to stick up. Have to say it may be from the aftermarket windshield thats on the car.
Title: Re: Sea Of Blue Post by: ugly duckling on November 17, 2009, 06:52:24 am were did you purchase them.

Car looks great! Where did you get the rear seat delete and carpeting? Was that custom made? Title: Re: Sea Of Blue Post by: ESH on November 24, 2009, 19:16:28 pm ...

It went on ok but has a big ugly seam where its bonded together and the bottom corners of the windshield have forced the rubber to stick up. Have to say it may be from the aftermarket windshield thats on the car ... It might be worth checking with Volkswagen Emporium (http://www.volkswagenemporium.co.uk/) in the UK, I'm not sure but they may be able to get hold of original spec rubbers including the standard ones without trim. Title: Re: Sea Of Blue Post by: Bryan67 on November 25, 2009, 04:49:19 am Seats and covers are from CB Performance. I made the board from a piece of 5/8 particle board and when I ordered the carpet from TMI I requested an extra pice which I cut to fit and had a local shop sew the binding on. The binding isn`t the same as the kit but its not too bad and this was supposed to be a budget deal. Only problem is TMi charged me $50.00 for the piece! and the grain of the carpet doesn`t go in the same direction and the other pieces. Next time I will go with Wolfsburg West and just pay the extra but its alright.

Title: Re: Sea Of Blue Post by: Bryan67 on November 30, 2009, 00:50:03 am Since the rains are coming I thought I should finish off the Dellorto Doors. I`ll touch up around the holes later. And heres a shot of the engine. Nothing fancy.
