If anyone has that black plastic piece that you see on the seat hige and on top of the door I need them.
Ok I think I got the hang of it here is my Cab. It is a bit rough but I'm working on it. At the moment the entire interior is out and I have recovered the fabric portion of the seats with a spotted black material. And I have sewn a VW patch on each headrest. I am getting black carpet to replace the blue, and I will be covering the door panels and back panels in the same material. I am picking up my quad grille this weekend to replace the single round, and it cost me $0 the fellow it swapping me even . Underneath I am in the process of installing all new gas lines and I think I am getting strutts from an 84 GTI to put on. I am considering that "push bumpers in thing" but I also like big bumpers!! Anyway there is far to much to mention in one post. I'll be back!!!

Nice Cabby! What year is it?
I personally love my 2 light grill and wouldnt change it for the world.
The bumper push back is fairly simple and is a good subtle mod until you get your big bumper. Makes the bumper look more flushed.
I will be posting some pics of the mod soon.
But way to go on you Cabby!
Thanks, it is an 86. I am the 3rd owner, the 1st owner so I am told was a fanatic and only bought parts from the dealer to keep it pure. Sadly the 2nd owner had other ideas like bandaids, chewing gum and any other cheap easy fix or repair. If you saw the wire job on the inside for the aftermarket stereo you would puke. Thus the reason I gutted it.
I got this set of 13" wheels with it. Not sure if I like them I may trade them for snowflakes them I like.
LOL! some crazy people just dont know how to keep it pure.....
What kind of look are you gonna go for? If you are going for the contemporary look, then those rims would be nice.
But if you are like me and are going for the euro look. 13" deep dish is the way to go.
Yes as matter of fact, I have the Luck o'the Irish...everything I touch turns to fertilizer of the bovine variety. You can lead a user to a link, but you can't make him Click....
I like those wheels!!!
Here is a few pics of the job in progress and one of the front seats one recovered one original. I still have the finish the headrest.
LowCab! You and I are on the same page bro!!!! I got to get them wheels, 13" 175/40-13.
Check out the posts on my fishing website's message board. My bro used to have a rabbit and now that I got mine, he is all excited about hooking it up with me. http://b5.boards2go.com/boards/board.cgi?user=jbanes78
Check out my Photoshop Skills!
89lsc4me, Wow you got that thing gutted. Thats cool becaue you can shape it and customize it how ever you see fit! Please keep up the photo documentation!
VWnoob that looks sweet!! When you finish you should have all the experience to come finish mine I like it low like that, one addition I have or that I have seen is a small scoop on the hood near the front on the drivers side. Not sure if it is for form or function but I like it...
Thanks guys!
I was just messing around and wanted to do a pic of what, one day, my cabby will look like. Its my, how you say, "Inspiration"! LOL!
89lsc4me, heck yeah bro! If I can get my looking like that, I will take a ROAD TRIP out to where you are and we can hook up your ride! As for that hood scoop, do you have link to a pic or something?
