My Ocianic Blue Ur restoration

[Tractor Dave]

I've done my T6 with DodoMat, the effect is astonishing. From can't hear the radio or what your passenger is saying to almost “luxury vehicle” The roof made a huge difference, as did wheel arches, everywhere. I’d add a bit and drive it and I could instantly notice the difference so I just kept going. If I was doing my quattro again I'd use more of it.

I've got 40 sheets

In the quattro I used the heavy closed cell foam stuff instead of the original smelly organic Jute or whatever it is.

It's all going very slowly.
After she arrived I gave her a clean and wax to protect the new paint.


I had wrapped all the wires in bags and everything was marked. Just unwrapped everything and we look good.


I got the tank out of storage. It's in very good condition with no rust. But just to future proof it, I gave it a coat of epoxy.


The wiper motor got a clean and service and was fitted. New master reservoir fitted with stainless nuts and bolts.


And then after a good clean, I made a start on the soundproofing. This dodo mat is really nice to work with.



It's a shame to cover all the nice new paint.

With all the rust, dirt, grease, oil sort you should have this on the road buy the end of the week What condition is the engine in? I know the HG was done but is the bottom end all Ok have you had the sump off etc?

Engine is good. It was 're built not many miles ago. I did have rich running and a boost issue but as I 're build I will refresh everything and overhaul the bits that might be causing issues. WUR and metering unit etc.

I’ve never used them, but they’ve been doing replacement Ur carpets for quite a few years now.

I was very lucky with the weather. It poured all the way there and was dry all the way back. I didn't want to put a cover over her as these can flap and cause damage to paint so I took a chance. There is a little road spray around the front end which I can clean up no problem.
Now, just need to have a think about where to start
Unfortunately, some of the stuff in storage got damaged by a rat
So, if anyone has a black carpet and boost pipes in good condition, let me know.
Anyone recommend a custom carpet maker?
A bit knackered after 13 hours on the road yesterday so taking it easy today
