I've been slowly putting some elbow grease work into rennovating a new to me 93 EVC. Paintwork was very faded, pitted and damaged but amazing what some rubbing compound, clay bar, T-cut and polish can do to bring back the colour. Refreshed the internal cabinet coverings and edging strips and just recived some goodies from the UK to cover the seats, add a VW rug, blackout windshield cover the kids love, etc. Making progress.... lots more paintwork rubbing to do, then the rims... Solved the non-functioning radio (fuse behind the unit) but still dealing with some electrical challenges with a parasitic draw.

That is looking great. Nice work.
How did you do the black grab handles on the front doors? |

I use to use peanut butter years ago to rejuvenate full faded black plastic.

You replaced upholstery from picture #3 with the one in picture #5, if so can you provide more information. What's wrong with the first set? I could use them  |

| The new upholstery on the seats are really just custom T4 seat covers from the UK. The original upholstery is underneath the covers.... They are just a bit stained despite steam cleaning. Covers provide a bit of extra padding a fresher look... |
