1600 TP from Centurion Classics, checked and tested by Matt Riedle.
Will be exciting to have her running with this in the future.

Also spent some time today at the annual swap meet at the Piston Club and found a quarter window that is useable for my Westy.
Worth the trip.

looking good. Big progress and a whole lot of work ahead.
For a loom, you can look at the citigolf looms, apparently they use the same colours - so you can cut the golf loom apart to suite your needs.

Donovan, I have bought a lot of spares from VWHeritage.
It's just very convenient to page through the online shop and add to a basket.
Only drawback ordering online is one cannot guarantee the quality.
One of the reasons I have not yet ordered any seat covers. Color and quality I'm hoping to get confirmed one day on a forum.
