I finally completed my 1970 Targa and it's back on the road. I wasn't aiming for 'originality' but more of an original feel that maintains integrity. I recovered the dash which included deleting the stereo speaker and I have no stereo in the car anyway, recovered the knee pads, replaced all the carpet with a tough low pile charcoal carpet I found in the local hardware store (Bunnings for those in Australia) and edged it all. The door cards are being trialled, I left the padding out of the top pads which slims them down, added a used leather door pull and made a surround for it, and the door handle is an early VW option (I know this won't be liked by everyone!!). The colour is back to original Signal Orange. The 2.2 engine has always been good I added a Street Fire MSD a while ago but no more work to do. I've been through everything else and either cleaned it up or replaced with new and used parts. It's a joy to drive and finally I can again
