So, yesterday not only did the little Gol GTi 1:43 die cast miniatures come in the mail,
But I also got something I've been waiting for a while; samples of the cloth used in the Recaro seats for the '89 Gti:
I'll be trying to come close to the interior shown below. Keeping my carpet black, though.
The plan is to find a set of recaros from another VW when I'm back in Canada, and then re-upholster them with the cloth I order, along with the back seat and door cards.
The cloth is purchased by the meter, not original recaro cloth but close enough. The width of the rolls is 1,40m and for each length of a meter they are charging about $15 + shipping. How many meters do you guys think I'll need? I am thinking of ordering 7 meters of the solid and 4 meters of the striped one.

My pleasure, very glad to have my build featured - thanks for everything! From day one I've seen how hard you've been working on this site and you made it exactly the way us car nuts love - a great place to quickly access great builds and helpful info, along with a easy to use platform to post new content, even easier than the forums. Many props to a great site!

Thank you Diggymart! I’ll have other updates soon as I’ve finished the interior upholstery, front suspension and brake upgrades, and I hope to start posting videos more regularly as well. Cheers!
