No turning back now...

Stripping has started!

A big thanks to Mtl-Marc, for his help!

Could not ask for better: Sunny Sunday, tunes playing, Grolsch hops, and a Scirocco getting ready for a big change...

And got back my wheels today:

Had the lips re-welded, than re-machined, repainted center & clear coated the whole wheel.

I then installed all the new & chromed 12 point bolts.

To my taste, these are the ultimate 13"

I also started to dry-fit my dash cap:

Doesn't fit very well, but I should be able to do a decent job, if I take my time...

I have question about the small window defrost vents;

I need to take them out to properly fit the cap, but it seems that they are in 2 pieces, and then spot welded together ? The front part and back part hold it in the dash opening:

Any tricks on how to take it out, so I can put it back after installing my cap?

Thanks for your help!
