Her is my car, she is a work in progress, still lots of things to do.

Here is a couple I took at the tool & die shop I work at, she disparately needs a new paint job.

Of course the park ranger had to stop by and see what was going on.

Here is some of the interior, my seats desperately need re-died & my CF on the console needs replaced after some dilbert screwed it up at the garage, wish I had more time to work on it myself, but my new Engineering Manager position takes up most of that.

She sure is a beauty Blake. You have me lusting after those MK1s. The Maritus Blue/parchment is a great color combo ! I hope we get a chance to meet sometime when I'm next in Indy to see family. Cheers.

Car looks great, and yes we all need more time. I bought a product from UK-AUTOMOTIVE on the UK ebay site. You can use your ebay/paypal acct. here. The item # is (#370095224946). Small can goes along way. It is a polish and dye, similar in consistency to shoe polish. It actually works as a quick fix, and penetrates and doesn't come off on your clothes. Not a re-dye, but covers many sins. Ships quickly (1 week) and is very inexpensive. In a nutshell a no brainer. Best of luck.

Here is what I will use to re-dye the seats when I get around to it.
