had another trip at weekend malten beer and food festival great fun and hangovers had by both of us and the campsite was ok
not had much time to spend with ben (bus) in fact its out of mot now and needs the tappets setting but im way too busy at mo ! but after pestering my mum for ages and finally finishing her kitchen and doors ect shes avin a go at the seats whoop whoop! here a few pics of the interior we thro together last year we used the original seat foam and choped it up abit and made the cushins from some throws we bourght kinda works
they were good for last year but im wanting something a bit more classy now lol! so heres the start of the front drivers seat just making the covers up at the mo and trial fitting trial and error a plenty never done this before but mother can sow so here we go! there just put over at mo not clipped in thinking about sorting the wadding underneath before the final fit # anyone got any ideas for foam padding ect...
should look good all in black leather look with cream piping its a relief that someones doing work on the van other than me ;D took some pics of the van today sorry its off the mobi think the bumpers need to be painted but i aint got the time lol!
well been up at mi mums and manage to get one seat sorted huge improvement and not bad for a first attempt
few more pics repadded the seats with foam was a real pain to get a good fit but hats off to my mum for the cutting and stitching
and then rushed home in the nicely polished gti to get them in the van oh yeah spent 3hr flatting and buffing the gti all by hand heres a pic for those who care! and the seats bolted into the van
been up to the parents house again tonite after work re welded the brocken springs on the drivers seat and the back support and then we got struck in repadding and covering the seat with its new home made covers ^-^ to be honest ive seen worse pro jobs im very happy indeed O0
when i get time im going to strip the van of all trim and glass and have a good week flatting back the paint work and repainting as it was a bit of a rush job last year, but its finding the time its show season and the suns shining so i may just leave it till back end of summer or winter if i can find a unit !
Seats look great, Golf's not bad either ;D need to get a macine polisher though sooooooo much easier MM
next thing to do is recover the rear bench and home made buddy seat # and then the side panels 8) oh and then fit some lap belts in the back
ha another update got both front seats done and fitted look great and now have a fuel guage replaced the sender repaired the wiring and fitted a fuel guage stabilizer now i have no excuse for running out great!
