    Thanks for all the positive comments. The GTI will be out of the garage in 1 1/2 weeks and progress will begin again.

    Painting the GTI tonight so it will be soon. Probably going to start the engine this weekend.

    Just wanted to share this video of the Vorsche. It was on PowerblockTV yesterday. Enjoy.

    Here's a pic with it out in the sunlight. Still need to get the rear porsche drums so that I can get the fuchs on the rear. I was waiting on some engine parts and they showed up today so that will be running soon.

    Here are the seat frames before I blasted them. They are out of a '65. Spent about 2 hours cutting off the angle iron that someone welded on. Will be doing the seat springs tomorrow and then the upholstery.



    Just finished the powdercoat on the seat frames.

    More tomorrow.

    Haven't had much time to work on it, but I did get started on the seats.

    Blasted and sprayed rust bullet on the seat spring frames.


    Attached the springs, the spring padding and the seat foam.






    I managed to get one seat bottom finished. The color looks bright red but they are a blood red color as are the seat frames.


    This pic, at least on my PC shows the true color of the seat frames.

    I'll try and get more done this weekend.

    Thanks. The seat covers are vinyl from TMI. The frames are powder coated, not paint.

    find an old oven and you can use it to bake the parts.
