Thanks adIbeetle am staying with black rubbers cause they will be easier to keep clean and they wont stand out as much
I tried to clean my old ones up but they went all milky so im picking new ones up today and bolting the guards on today if eveything goes to plan

Great stuff......
Love the tarps, great idea instead of coating the garage in overspray.
What brand paint did you use....

Its been a while since i have posted any progress
i finally brought my rubber kit with chrome inserts
and what a bugger the chrome inserts were after trying for roughly 20hours i
gave up and put my windows in without the inserts

I also used hoodliner/vinyl spray and painted the hoodliner
Put new door trims in
Installed window machanisms and rubbers
And installed the running boards

My todo list
get an auto electrician out to fix my wiring issues
Install new carpet
Put a few little peices on
Fix the bowden tube cause some welds let go inside the tunnel

Then its rego so happy with how it looks
and wow alot more money was spent then what i thought
but its worth it

And i got insured with shannons 🙂

These pictures a after its first wash

It's a good thing that you are very handy- that saves heaps of $$ . It's a shame you had to sell so much stuff- but you have an awesome VW now.
