This post is a bit late, but I thought you guys might appreciate the work I did to prepare my car for Luftgekuhlt.
Because of an incident, I had to repaint my right rear flare. I also fixed some cracked paint on the edge of my door, some dents in my cowl from when my hood flew up, and a couple dents in my hood itself. They also did some fantastic work aligning my flare and bumper.
For years, the outside of the car looked great, but the interior never matched. Because I have been doing long road rallies with TRE, I wanted to match the interior to the exterior of the car. Thus began one of the more ambitious projects I've done to date.
In the span of 2 weeks, I completely rebuilt, from scratch, my interior. That included:
- bringing back a seemingly unrestorable dashboard that was completely wrecked. (See my thread: hideous dashboard restoration)
- sourced, hand cut, and attached binding to my full red German square weave carpet set
- recovered my door cards including punching holes for a fully stealth stereo system.
- new dash face, knobs, etc
- new headliner
- new seats from BF Torino
- new windshield, front and rear seals, quarter window seals.
- installed fully stealth stereo system powered by an aptX Bluetooth amp and a hidden sub.
- new battery including a new fabricated holder downer. (That's a technical term)
- painting the dashboard, repairing, grinding, and painting the floor pan.
- all hardware and fasteners replaced with the proper bits.
- all surfaces painted or reconditioned
Here was my master list, then I'll jump into the pictures. This will span a few posts I'm sure!
First a couple of quick shots on the car:
