DUBSTAR'S PROJECT - Weiss Hase - 1976 Golf LS

It's strange that they require you to use water to rinse it off isn't it... Haha weren't you scared about water getting trapped somewhere?

hah. Yes, but as you can see I removed all the portholes and then I spent a considerable amount of time with a micorfibre cloth and my heat gun drying everything. The seat runners are water traps and I focused a lot of effort in blowing water out with a compressor then using a heat gun to dry any micro drops that remained.

how much POR15 did you use in the end?
looking at doing the same thing - but mate, not cheap!

[dubstar]

I bought a litre of each (POR15, Marine Clean and Metal Ready). used about 2/3 of teh can of POR15. As long as you always pour what you are going to use into a plastic container and don't contamintae the main tin, then it will last for ages. Also, put a layer of cling film between the tin and lid to stop it bonding together.

Finally all wrapped up and back together.

I ended up cutting out the manky parts of the foam underlay and cutting replacement parts from the new vinyl/foam underlay I bought. I also found that the factory misses a few areas where I added extra underlay. I also put aluminium tape over the holes that were taped up by the factory



Seam sealed the portholes in

That is really cute, and the cars not bad either.

good work!

Interior looks so so clean! Is that just regular carpet underlay or something? Wouldn't mind getting something like that to throw under my carpet, and over the dynamat.
What did you use for the seam sealing?

[dubstar]

The underlay is from tru-fit here in Melbourne. It is their premium underlay and is 2 layers of foam separated by sound absorbing vinyl. link here: Tru-Fit Carpets - Automotive Car Carpet Mats & Soundproofing for over 30 Years and 700 models

The seam sealer I use is Teroson Seam Sealer - Terostat 9320.

The interior looks clean, but theres lots of rips and tears on the seats and little holes in the door trim.

Just repaired another little issue. The speedo was working, but the odometer had stopped. Pulled the cluster apart and repaired the cracked gear with 2 tiny circlips and jb weld. Google the vortex for the full DIY.

When I put it back together I had a part leftover.

The inter web says its a 'dash support' but I can't see where it goes? Any help?
