you can buy new cloth new bolsters and new sponge. Ebay.de would be your best bet i'd say. I've seen unused oe factory leather covers on it before.

good luck with the project. i've seen/driven a lot worse than that. cut it all out, weld in new bits, paint with zinc182, seal it and finally paint it. have you looked underneath the car???

 

Just cut up the old jetta in the back ground (the DEAD one). they make good repair pannels. proper thickness of steel to. Mind the dash/glass when you are using the grinder. Best of luck with her. keep the pics coming.

pat.

yeah gonna do that if the floor is fuc**d, otherwise just patch it up and schultz, i have a fire blanket for the dash and thick brown paper for the rest of the interior(whats left of it)

 

more pics from today, bits cut out and ready for welding plates in tomorrow

the white is rags underneath to show up the holes cut out

 

look what i found when i stripped the arches
its at the end of the passenger sill at the rear

 

Get a good clean shell and start again, use all the 16valve bits and transplant them......

Less hassle in the long run!

 

sure i havemost of the work done now and its a campaign model, im doing it in fas so its only costing me time, a clean shell is how much and then changing EVERYTHING else over is a lot more work i would think?

 

Keep chasing the wireworm. you will get to the end of it. You will know you have no rust then,

 

With that amount of rust i'd personally not persue the repairs on the shell.....I'm sure other lads will agree with me on this.

Transfering the bits over isn't that hard, depending on what level you want to go to you could have it done in a week.

bit late for that now haha most of it done along with a bit of flushing also

 

the other side tomorrow then brush the sealer over it, sure im getting paid to do it in fas so all its costing me is time.
materials are free and sound deadening all free like....

 

Some job, best of luck with the rest of the project.
