Hey, it looks like a VW
It's all coming together quickly now. The dash is fixed and looks real nice. Got the doors all put back together, with Dynamat installed to help deaden the sound. New chrome trim all the way around (sweet repros from WolfsburgWest). Brand new running boards installed (again some nice repros from WW). Hood latch installed and functioning. Glove box, radio block-off plate, and ash tray are in. Need to get some clips for the interior chrome pieces. Etc., etc., etc.
The chrome guy called back, but I was unable to take the call. His message said a rechrome of the bumpers would be around $200. Seems cheap to me, so we'll see. I did find the VW stamp on one of the bumpers. Still searching on the other. Considering rechroming the hubcaps, so long as they are original.
Also got a bid on the headliner job (the parts came in while I was out of town). Another $200. That's reasonable since I'd probably ruin the thing getting it in.
Right now I'm just continuing to install what I can until I run out of parts. Can't do the windows until the headliner is in, and Tyler still has my driver seat. Lots of small miscellaneous things to work on, including the wiring.
Will post pictures soon.
