    Certainly trick, very well done, appreciate all the work, et cetera but 125K?

    That of course depends who's keeping you company there.

    My first bit of advise is to get a bunch of metal of varying thickness and practice practice practice. Buy the Argon bottle. Did I mention practice? I have a 220v Lincoln MIG, use it ALOT on my tractor an implements, great tool. Easy to weld thick stuff, thin stuff requires........practice.

    Pre purchase inspection (PPI) is the first line of defense, also perhaps contact someone via this site local to that area to verify that the car (seems) is as what's advertised for the $$ your paying....A rhetorical question: are you spending 3K or 30K? The answer would be key to maybe taking a plane ride to make sure you're getting what you (think) you're paying for....My .02

    Beautiful!

    And you need to check that the seams do not separate easily by pulling on them?

    Nicely done, Blake. I installed Esty's carpet in my tii in 2013 and it took me a month..thought it would take me a week tops (yeah right) but it made the interior night n day better. Of course, I bought new door cards, which meant the window roll up mechanisms were dealt with and lubed, new weatherstripping below the door, et cetera, project took a life of its own, but the end result was worth it. Your seats look identical to mine except for the color - Recaros from a 320i.

    yup.

    Have one in my 73 tii, works fine as long as it's driven regularly. If I go a month plus without driving her it'll need a charge for a few minutes, which the red tops don't really like (on a regular basis).

    I replaced mine in the late nineties, don't remember it being overly difficult.

    Heard about that. Major tragedy, very sad.

    Saw the pilot flying his drone and was impressed at the control he had. Very kewl.

    Yeah, speaking of the old VW days, both vent widows opened slightly will create a draft that will flow across the windshield and help keep it clear.

    Nice car! Bottom line: don't drive it there if not road worthy. Only YOU will know if it is or not.

    ^ ^ ^ Great pic, Max!

    Andrew, was great meeting you - Thanks for stopping me on my way out!

    Beautiful eulogy, thanks for sharing. So sorry for your loss.

    Easiest way to replace to water pump is to remove the front grills and the radiator and fan - the water pump is staring you. Easy procedure.
  21. bmdubl02
    WOW! nicely done!
  22. bmdubl02
    Thanks all.

    Need to replace the resonator (long middle exhaust section) on my 73 tii - is that part tii specific? A local place has a brand new Ansa resonator. Thanks

    If you're gonna do it right, the $400 to Esty will be a drop in the bucket relative to the time that's required to properly install the carpet. Based on what you've shown us I don't think it's worth the time and $$ if you're just going to flip it....my .02 (from someone who took a month to properly install Esty's carpet kit).

    Nice!
