originally a 2 door VR?
Yes, it is a full spec OBD2 2 door vr manual from factory. There was a lot over here initially but majority went to the scrappy. Estimate around 10 left in the country and still on the road

If I keep these fronts maybe black leather with dark grey cloth inserts or something? long way off regardless.
Little bit of progress.
Bottom had just been attacked with Apc and wiped to remove bulk.
Top has been Apc, shampooed twice. Conditioner once and wiped, second coat left to sit and soak in. Sooooo much softer.https://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/for...4c3b5dba-1.jpg

I've been struggling to find track/light weight wheels
Battling and failing getting one set of wheels repaired, I moved onto getting a second set PCD converted to 5x100, only to find no one wants to do the big jobs anymore
Locked in some Oz Superleggeras

16x7et35 5x100 and apparently weighing in at only 6.4kg (will confirm)
Have some 205/45/16 RE003 stashed away. Will probably change to 215/45 up front when they are done
fingers crossed they clear the new brakes!
Slapped the CC seats in the front and the vento stocks in the rear.
I'll do some driving on the CC seats to see if I like them, the upright hugs me nicely. The base is a bit loose for my liking so far.
If they grow on me I'll get the whole lot trimmed to matchhttps://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/for...d41bf98b-1.jpghttps://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/for...226efcbd-1.jpg
