Man that is Fantastic! Hope the car works out for you.
I went over the thread a few times and did not see any specs.
Want to lay some out?
I run what I call a Retro German Looker as well. All VW based though with Bolt on items and what nots. Still lowered but not as much, I run in the mountains of Va.
Awesome... RB

Thanks for the compliments all! Stripped down the seats to the frames today to prep for paint before reupholstery. Found the original assembly label! Anyone know anything this tells me?

In German, this means "front seat backrest." I found one in my sport seat when stripping it down. |

+1 on the inspiration and motivation!
It's a great looking car now, but it's just as wonderful to see the beginning to end (almost) photos.
It's nice to be shown that there is a light at the end of the tunnel if you can only stick it out.
Great job and thanks for sharing! |

| Love your build man! Randomly came across it and completely blown away! Mostly because I have a 1974 1600 Bug and I'm spraying it the exact colour. Toyota 1G3 colour code Magnetic Grey (Bought the paint yesterday) I'm still in early days, I'll post some pics when I'm done. Hoping to end up looking half good as yours. |

Looks great! That seat color is going to look sharp with that exterior!
What part of Omaha are you? I have visited there several times, and plan on being back in a few weeks when my RAZORBACKS are in the CWS
