here is when i did the interior over christmas week and newyears



doors off interior gutted







dash out



converted to small taillights easy swap with the wiring harness for the small tails out of my parts car 1977 GTI

[cxramire]

so i sprayed interior with plasti dip to see how it would turn out turns out now it was a bad idea plasti dip just catches all kinds of dirt and is hard to clean so eventually ill have to re do the interior paint. remember dont plasti dip inside looks good at first after a few months no good lol

[cwescapexlt4x4]

Wow, lots of work but looking good. Too bad about the Plasti-dip

[cxramire]

[cxramire]

[urbancynic]

Looking good.

Always wondered about just clearing the metal, but I thought that would be way too reflective and blind me and other drivers.

I'd kill to get ahold of another diesel.

[fatboyvw]

cant wait to see her when she is done

[Heidelberg2az]

ohhh digging this. nice to see someone bring back an oldie. lot of work but should be way worth it in the end

[jazzcat2001]

normally id say clear over the bare metal but this car is screaming for some white paint

[cxramire]

THINGS to come:

1.Dual round conversions with crosshair headlights (not electrical tape ones lol)
2.single side exit exhaust with two cherry bomb exhaust on it (one cherry bomb right ofexhaust header and one as the exhaust tip
3.Large duckbill
4. euro bumpers with turn signals in them and custom cutouts to fit my MK2 foglights in them
5.New Black Carpet (stockinteriors.com)
6.Rearseat deleted so whole rear can be done with wood flooring with a escape hatch to lift to get to the spare tire

I'd say no to the white paint, but only because then we both will have white mk1's...

OP:
Did you get that shifter out this weekend? And what carpet did you order... I couldn't find mk1 golf?
