Looks awesome, especially the shifter.

The gear knob and frabic look really well together, the fabric looks orange which looks better IMO

thank you! it's kind of orange but basically red. maybe i will change later into deep red.

update.

yihaa! the completely handmade gear knob is finished. it's just a detail but i love it. especially the hypetoday fabric.

small update.

last week i visited some friend for a small engine check up. lots of nice cars at backyard!



he also ownes a nice slammed jetta in a really good condition - someone from germany around? it's for sale!



i've started the first fabric test for the gear knob - it's and old jeans, but it fits.



next step was painting to ball. failed. maybe i'm a bad painter or the clear coat is bad. so a friend will do this now.



then we tried the final fabric - it's my design printed on cotton. the final will be red. i really like these kind of details.



it's a long way, there's more to come! hope you enjoy the thread!

Nice work so far. Updates please.

next update.

i'm really happy about the rims. have now also considered how i can renew them.



last weekend i swapped headlights and bonnet. i like it a lot better and i'm on the modern look with the avantgarde grill.



also i've started with my new gear knob. i have yet to paint the ball and sew a matching bag.



it's a long way, there's more to come! hope you enjoy the thread!

time for a tiny little update.

the postman rang. beautiful! i like the facelift taillights much more than the old ones with the orange indicators.







other news: i got the bars in the right color for below the headlights. only a small update, but important for the facelift.



this book here helps me a lot - is it known? it's called "how it's done" with an incredible number of instructions which is available for almost every car.



it's a long way, there's more to come! hope you enjoy the thread!
