After 4 months Of hard work (not on the car, just actual work) i have finally got the front seat uph done (well still need to do little bits, but hey!)
N!
....
I want the car so bad, Its been 2 1/2 years since i bought it, and it still looks like its a while away.
N!
your stitchin it ? thats your biz isnt it N? well on house seats hehe ?
Well I am in furniture, and Im a cabinet mker by trade, but I don actually make any furniture. Im the customer service at a company, but I always will give anything a go. I should mention, I made the pattern from the old uph, cut the pieces and stitched the padding onto the blue parts, but My aunt actually stitched them up for me. I should also mention that 65busser gave a heap of advice.
It just goes to prove that anyone can actually do this kinda stuff (maybe not that good, but still done!)
N!
mate it looks the goods, i really want an industrial machine.... i would love to stitch up my own interior, nice new interior for the beetle 😉 hehehehe
ok seriously.... out of 10 how rare are the fender guides ? (10 being rare as rocking horse sh#t)
btw that seat looks sweet, the interior of your car is going to be as kool as the outside for sure !!!

fender guides aint that rare...... that seat hasnt got any filling in it yet, its just on the frames, to give it shape so that i could take a pic. I just hope its worth the wait.....hehe.
N!
from what you've show us so far with all the accessories and work its deffinatly going to be worth the wait :cool
so did you get the fender guide from the states or find it over here ? because arent they ment to go on the passengers side? (im not sure ive only ever seen like 2 pick of bugs with them.)

Yeah there ment to go on the passenger side. In fact you can put them on both sides. I would be happy to let one go for 85 plus shipping, if you can find one.
N!
man they are sweet Nectar
I think i may hassle my Yaya to do mine, i knew those industrial sewing machines would come in handy 😉
Can't wait to see the together pics nectar....it'll be sweet ....very sweet...luv the seat colours...and the wheels..
We're gunna have some more hot VW rides on our Melbourne streets very soon :thumb
Costa, I would send you up the pattern for the seats, but yours are the roll tops, rather than the square tops like mine.
Jen, Thanks for the comments. I cant wait to see a few of the high quality dubs that should be on the road soon, none more than yours. Also, what colour will you interior be, red and grey?
N!
Check out the POR15 website as i am sure they do a clear alloy paint. Could use it on your rims. Never have to polish em again.
Blank
Nectar ... yes red and grey interior with white piping...red seat belts...n charcoal carpet
started making the interior panels today.....
....
lookin good Necta.
Should come up a treat. The rims look a million bucks after a good polish.
Can't wait to see the finnished product.
Hey man awesome car. Same colour as mine L335 capri blue. You'll love it, it's an great colour. That car is gonna be a real masterpiece mate.
This is my Capri blue baby, not quite as low as yours but...
put the dropped spindles on today, But im not sure its low enough....
I suppose they are 165 on it, once the 135 go on, it might be a little better. I like the tuck of the narrowed beam though.
...And I wasnt sure about the IRS pan, and if the wheels would tuck, but Looks to be ok. Next step is to Finally put some paint on all the guards, as they are truly straight, then massage the bonnet and deck lid, then the doors....
I reckon it's gonna be the one to watch in 05.
Happy new year mate.
Hey Nectar, this is looking sweet. Coming along just fine. Patience will get you there dude. The narrowed beam is the business. Those last pics of the ride height, have you got the bags in?
Squiz....
No bags in there as yet. THat will be the last thing i do....I might even drive it like that for a while.....
N!
Sweet as man.. very nice.
THE LOWEST WITH THE MOSTEST BLING BLING WINS!!
Skirts that I have started to make....
Rear seat uph....Tried it on the frames...Now to do the final stitch....
