Never get tired of pics of your Orange T. Need to get that wounded eye fixed though.

Thanks! It is on the mend now. Damage just superficial to front fender, door and rear quarters but using new panels just to keep it nice and straight. Sadly without it during the Southern Hemisphere summer holidays.

damage always sucks, but it appears minimal on your car as you mentioned.

It is great to see you use the car to it's fullest.

This is exactly why im building a 69T. To build it the way i want it and to use it as hard as I please.

My 67S will remain pampered and therefore used less sadly.

Progress on the fix job. All new genuine panels going in and finally got the steel front bumper.

No, not pushing it either as the renovations at home mean that the garage can't hold any more junk. The builders are taking out a few posts in there so cutting concrete and digging - the T is much safer off site for a little longer. Can't wait to drive it again. New front bumper is on so I will be able to complete the side and front and rear graphics work.

I can understand that. A good reason to own a spare air cooled car!

did your square weave carpet come pre molded or did you have to cut and fit?
How about the piping?

The square weave came in a roll and we had to cut each shape. The piping is thin strips of leather left over from the seats. Would have been easier getting a set of carpets ready to fit and probably a better job but the trim shop was happy to work from scratch.

it came out fantastic.
I ask because i too want to use square weave. (much nicer than the correct carpet for 69-73)
I was hoping to find a pre cut/molded set.

That being said, i have the previous carpet set that i can use as a template to cut raw sqaure weave.

I found some vendors who were prepared to do a set in square weave but in the end the trim shop was happy to start from scratch. A full kit would have been better in retrospect but it is what it is and short of a few changes that I would make if doing it again, l'm pretty happy - mostly because the car is a bit of a hotrod so originality is not a concern

The T is almost home, 8 months after rubbing the tire wall. Looking forward to the first drive again.
