Waffle Visors

Here are how the plastic waffle pattern sun-visors look.  Previous owner dyed them black to match the all black interior he installed.

For a red with black top November 1957 Karmann Ghia, these visors should be white?  Or match the stock interior?  And what would be a safe method to dye them?

Usual Rust Suspect

Daylight no good.

The low budget rust fix.

Guess could try to mirror pattern from this.

Pan Rust

After finally getting the driver's seat out and removing the back carpet.  This is what greeted me.  I predict I will be replacing both pan halves.  What say you all?

Washer Pump re-assembled

Overview of everything put back together.

Reservoir with tube attached.

Pump installed.  Did not reconnect wires.

Bottom hose running to nozzles.

The second to bottom picture of the pump, to help the novice mechanic there is a flow arrow pointing downward to help.  It is stamped in spot Made in Germany.  But can't tell who made it.

Bottom picture can see a yellow wire running from the switch, by the bracket for the after-market radio, and towards the pump.

Washer Pump Pics

Reservoir

Pump installed. Loose hose goes to reservoir and top of pump.

Bottom hose runs along trunk until it reaches the spray nozzles.

This is how the wires were attached to bottom.

Door Window Mechanisms

Driver window lift [left] and passenger window lift [right].

Okay early experts, I guess both window lift mechanisms had that plastic disc?  Is there a replacement?

Side view

Since this photo, all the tires are off.  Rear bumper has been removed.  Most of the leaves cleaned out of engine compartment.  Nose badge, speedometer, fuel gauge [ marked 8 57 ], VDO clock with spade connector, and washer pump removed.  Wiper assembly would be also pulled except I can't get a screwdriver into the back where the last screw is, need to buy a shorter screwdriver.

Can see on the driver fender a giant bubble.  Might be rust or the bad paint job from Maaco.  There are smaller pin-prick bubbles in other areas along with cracks in the paint.  Rust in the spare tire well, both rear lower quarters, and engine area under battery.  Going to strip it all the way down and pull the body off the pan.  Then cough up the money to media blast it to find all the bad metal.
