Say goodbye!

Everytime I look inside I can't beleive how good of shape the interior is in for being a 25 year old car

The real fun starts this weekend.

WHo knows, maybe I will just stay with what's there.

i would just sell the recaros and use that money for more stuff for the car.. thats just me...but i think im the only VW guy who doesnt get a hard on for recaros though ...either way keep us posted on your progress

Here's the thing. Have you ever sat in Trophies? They are bolstered soooo nicely.

Aaaawwwww.....

That interior looks like GTi interior; either way looks to be in great shape!

Advice is seldom welcome, and those who want it the most always like it the least.

Ive sat in them... im not saying they arent nice seats... i just dont drool when i see the letters recaro stiched into a seat

Yes I belive it is...and one in verry verry good shape I may add!
Dont touch a thinnk..the car is great the way it is!!

Just clean it up and lower it a bit..and its good to go!!
great find!!

I could care less if they had "Chicken ****" stiched into the seats, I've have them and they are great seats. Hell, I would rather recover them in the present interior pattern, but I doubt I am going to find it anywhere.

GTI interior ehh? This car is becoming more and more interesting....

I need to get the Brakes (MC, Booster, Pedal cluster), steering, and wiring sorted out before the space gets filled back up, but I am very pleased at the pace things are progressing.

(BTW: If any need anything from an '80 1.6 5-speed let me know.)

i think we have some people that are unfamiliar to what the northeast does to a car

Let us know if you are stuck anywhere.

PS, now that the engine is out, its a good chance to clean and paint the engine bay.

I do have one clarification. I have been told that the post 86 A1 (Scirocco, Cabriolet) use brake boosters that will bolt right up to a 22mm (A2) master cylinder. If that is the case I am looking for such a Booster and Pedal cluster.

I did expose some nastiness around the strut towers and on the inner fenders up in the raintray. Is this pretty common with the additonal flex in these cars (and more importantly how much of a pain is it to deal with?).

Also, anyone know what the engine bay is painted with ( I am assuming it is not normal body color)

thanks

Let's make biscuits!

Just looking to do some touchup.

And no it won't be foot powered, it's new lump is sitting in front of it.

welcome to vw poortex, where punk kids talk trash, and have no cash

There sure is a hell of alot more wiring than a CIS engine

Isn't that always the story?

Good luck

I wrestled it for awhile, but she finally fell into place.
