**buggyboy20** · 04-14-2009 06:52 AM

I picked up some awesome plaid fabric for my '80...beige and black plaid...$26 CDN/yd...picked it out of a sample book...saw the seats done yesterday...

...I may be able to get some info for the shop to you shortly...sweet car by the way

**motobri** · 04-14-2009 01:14 PM

Thanks, post a pic if you can also.

**motobri** · 04-14-2009 08:39 PM

Thanks FGTI,

your build thread was the motivation to pass on a mint 80 Rocc for $5k & spend prob 3x to build the exact year I had when I was a teen.

I'll send you the bill

If only your seats werent green, Id take them.

**motobri** · 05-01-2009 09:38 PM

Motobri,
If your wife thinks you have issues, that can be an issue

Good to see it being done right and without compromise
Keep up the great work...
This is going to be a very special Scirocco!

Scirocco love and much respect,
Craig

Wife + Scirocco = ISSUES. All you can do is make sure that the one you gave a ring to gets more attention than the German mistress in Italian clothes.......

Nice job. The silver will be beautiful, looking forwward to seeing the progress.

**motobri** · 06-22-2009 10:21 PM

Update-

Car is finally going into the booth for full paint except exterior. Under coating is on & car is on the rotissery. Should have her back to start the reassembly fun.

Some pix & latest goodies collected

Not quite the blk/grey loop as OEM tho.
Old kick with new carpet

More to come this week after the bay & interior/jambs are sprayed

**OorsciroccO** · 06-23-2009 01:01 PM

That looks really nice Brian. Yeah - not quite the OEM grey/black, but then you deviated from stock with exterior color anyway. That is going to look really nice. My 81S has a cut pile, not loop. Do you recall if they offer this as well? Also, were you able to obtain extra material for new kicks, and the rear deck lid area?

Personally, i think that carpet is going to MAKE your interior.

Thanks -

Craig

**twardnw** · 06-23-2009 01:44 PM

Where'd you find the carpet?

**motobri** · 06-23-2009 06:44 PM

Yeah, they sent a big roll of extra for the tray & kicks & edgeing material-vinyl maybe?

I can send the waste to you if you wanna check it up close.

I think this is more of a cut pile than loop, altho hard to tell from pix. Very tight.

I got it from Newton in London. Very easy transaction. They made it w/out certain cutouts w/out hassle.

Tick over 4 bills w/ shipping.

Should be able to see the fitment in a couple of days. Pix to follow.

**twardnw** · 06-23-2009 06:50 PM

sweet, very good to hear, I'll be awaiting word on the fitment

**motobri** · 06-28-2009 01:33 PM

Here are some pix of the carpet laid in the car. As I metioned in the other thread, the fit is nearly perfect except the seat rails dont line up just right. If I was to order from them again, I would just omit the seat rail cutouts like I did the front seat slots. Otherwise, looks like it will work nicely.

Question, since its 2 piece, which piece at the junction should lay on top? Front or rear?

Enjoy

**fredybender** · 01-09-2010 10:31 PM

Following your build,
If I had a bit more $ I would go the route you are going, with new beam, proper suspension, and other nice tidbits...

Any updates?

**motobri** · 01-10-2010 02:17 PM

no pix but, almost done with all mechanical & hoping to get to final paint in the next 30 days.

We'll see.
