Thank you Kevin!!

Today the vw logo arrived and added the finishing touch for the key

Thanks folks! Progress has been slow, as the Jeep has been taking most of my car work time. But I did pretty much finish the power windows and locks install on the Fox. Made a quick little video of it working:

Thanks!


Really excited about this update. Finally found some Recaro seats for sale locally that didn't break the bank! Driver's side has typical bolster wear but I already ordered some new foam from capitalseating.uk.



I still need to get one more base, and figure out the gameplan to reupholster them with the gol gti cloth I brought back from Brazil. It'll be a long project redoing the interior not to mention the suspension and brakes I have lined up also... can't wait to get to it!

Thank you Diggymart! I’ll have other updates soon as I’ve finished the interior upholstery, front suspension and brake upgrades, and I hope to start posting videos more regularly as well. Cheers!

My pleasure, very glad to have my build featured - thanks for everything! From day one I've seen how hard you've been working on this site and you made it exactly the way us car nuts love - a great place to quickly access great builds and helpful info, along with a easy to use platform to post new content, even easier than the forums. Many props to a great site!
