Ground up rebuild. All the details will be released further down the road as I start ordering stuff! Imma add a lil mustard to her though!

I do however have some updates!!

I hate pulling interior crap out! I was being as careful as I could with the dash as it's pretty much mint and would like to find a new home for it.

Here is the interior before starting......







And so it begins.......





I hate pulling dashboards!







The AC assembly that someone had added aftermarket



Got all the heater and AC crap out.....





Both seats out and all the non-firewall wiring removed.....





It still amazed me how rust free this 25 year old car is!! I VW





Effin nasty crap under the rear floorboard carpet!!



Carpet finally out, both front floorboards are dented up a bit from previous owners not knowing where/how to use a floorjack on a VW
Still no rust yet though!





As she sits tonight after the interior delete

Damn you Jason! You're at the point I'm at already haha. You are forcing me to work on mine tonight now! Looks great man!

if mine doesnt come home tonight, ill be at your house helpin out tony!

looks good! BUt if you hate taking interior stuff out, you are going toreally like putting a MK2 dash in!! ALso that stucky stuff under the carpet is teh suk! I have that dash for you, you can come get it tonight before I head to the lake if you would like.

MK2 swaps isnt that bad, i got it down to an art if the mounts are the right ones, and it looks like his arent... so it might take a little longer. that sucks the roll cage is welded in instead of bolted bases....is it staying in? and working around it?

Yeah i'd like to pick it up tonight. I don't get off work till 6. What time you leaving for the lake?
I won't mind putting the MK2 dash in even if it's a pain because it's a upgrade.

Roll cage is welded in and I really don't have alot to do to the rear anyways so I won't mind working around it. This is not going to be a show car by any means so I am not too worried about the ass end.

Looking good Jason, I'm curious to see how this car is going to turn out. I can't wait for more updates.
