My Helios Blue G60......

Recommended Posts

 

The seats were off my mate, he got them of someone who only put them in for shows, so they look brand new! i think mj interiors may have done them..

.

 

Who did you buy the seats off mate?

they are my old seats, me and my mate Joe From Trim tech in Wednesbury Trimmed them.

I sold them to a guy down south who was in the army, I cant believe they have ended up back in Birmingham LOL

Did you not get the matching Steering wheel.

The little white leather tags on the backrest have got DAZFX VW ebroidered on them so I removed them before I sold them.(first pic in my loft where they lived for 5-6 years)

Love the colour- quite a rarity nowadays 8) You've done a fantastic job on it, it's come so far since that pic with all the lacquer peel.

I think you'll struggle to change the subframes, the original ford subframe just bolts off its base but to get the part I needed from the scirocco seats I had to take the covers and foam off, then grind all the welds off that hold the metal seat base tray to the tubular subframe and grind off all the other little bits that you dont need.

Next strip foam , covers etc from the ford bases and weld them together (& spary satin black)

I did all this before trimming so I could cut the leather side panels long enough to cover where the two parts are welded together.

Not a small job, took me about 3 hours each.

 

Good luck though.
