UPDATE:

going to be installing a new black headliner in really soon, and I got a couple samples of Alcantra (UltraSuede) in the mail today to decide what color to do the interior in. 

My plan is to replace all of the icky grey fuzzy fabric from the interior with fake suede. I got two samples, one black and one red. this stuff is PERFECT. Im leaning towards the red, since my new headliner, shift boot and trim bits will have red accents in them and I think it will look like a good contrast with all of the black. 

the good thing about this fake suede is that I can have it embroidered with anything I want - ie that cool new scirocco logo that I stole somewhere.  

now I just need to sit down and decide once and for all wether its going to be black suede or red. 


I could do black in the door cards and red on the seats I suppose..

here is a great pic of an actual Scirocco with the shade of red I picked out. 


in that pick the whole seats are red. in mine it will only be the centers.


thats what I was thinking 

the door cards might be hard to get right tho. this fabric isnt very stretchy. I hope I can get it to stick to the contours of the door cards without rippling. 

I didnt get anything done on my todo list this winter that I wanted to. 

still working on where I am going to get the cruise control system from.. 

heated seats may be cool, but for a car that will only be driven in the summer they arent needed. 

new headliner - coming Very soon!!

clean up carpc install.... maybe some time soon

New rear deck lid got started, never finished. dont like the carpet stuff I bought.  

NEW euro turns and Tails. because old and used are crappy. - yeah, when I get rich.
