She was very lucky indeed. She sustained some very serious injuries and still suffers with Rheumatoid arthritis to this day.
This was 24 years ago so no airbags and thank god she was wearing a belt. It wasn't mandatory at the time but we've allways worn em. Even so her face was responsible for re-shaping the steering wheel ( broken nose, jaw, loss of teeth etc. ) she had multiple leg and foot injuries and was on traction in hospital for 3 months. :(
Thisis one reason that we have stuck by VW's and they're strength ever since Ahem. apart from my Apfa  :ashamed:

Welcome to the forum Mixit  :wink:

Just spotted your car in the candy thread, you can get yourself out of here with those seats.  :wink:

Aaar... regarding those seats. Iv'e been having some issues with the cover slipping off the back of the drivers seat.
Anyone else having this problem? Its been looked at by my local dealers but if it persists I'll look into getting it replaced.

Will take a pic tonight but in the meantime Iv'e used yours.
The material comes away from the plastic shell at the back. Its happened loads of times in the past year.
It also comes off the front edge just under the front bolster.  :confused:
Yours maybe fixed differently being leather.

If yours are out of warranty MJ interiors have worked with these seats a lot.  :happy2:
Alternatively if you have the plaid cloth recaro's then you can trade them in on here for a new ED 30 post some pics up and watch them all drool.  :grin:  :rolleye:

The only thing I'd be unsure about over Ed30's would be the wiring for the Airbags. I don't think my car will have that part of the loom as the Recaro's don't have bags.  :confused:

No i meant people drool over the cloth recaro's that much on here, that you could swap them for a actual ED 30 not just the seats  :smiley:
