It's great to see the updates...keep 'em coming! The new seat covers are going to be awesome, your mom has some serious skill! Does she do auto upholstery for a living?

It's just a hobby and she never made seats before... Doesn't matter, because everything I did to this car I haven't done before either. :D

All I can say is you have a beautiful car...keep doing what your doing, your "first time" efforts exceed a lot of "professional" ones!

Very nice! Will you be re-doing the rear seat to match at some point?

I can respect your choice in guages.  Easily obtained in any Mk1 golf, cabriolet, jetta or scirocco.

The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

Nice! So you've gone from three to four gauges...how will this alter your plan at the console from what you've shown previously?
