What did the rear carpet set you back?
It was included in the whole job, but I asked and the supplier who reckoned about R1000-00. If you want him to make you one I will pm his details to you.

Having spent the last nine months eating, sleeping, dreaming Volkswagen day in and out, I would like to thank everyone involved in this project. It has been a terrific journey and every word of encouragement, advice and support is greatly appreciated. To the restorer Basie Theron of Algadine Panelbeaters in Randfontein I can only tip my hat. What a job Basie! Thank you for making a dream come true!

The one person that I cannot thank enough is my better half which shares the passion for Volkswagen and the smiles on these pictures tells a story on its own!

It great that after 9 months you gave birth to a beautiful, fresh young lady.

Well done, it looks great, must say the Dash is particularly Great....... :twisted:

And the rest of the car matches so nice.... :D

Lot of fun with it, and do remember you may still have some niggle issues with it, but that is part of her personality.
