Tool kit location Options

[bbrock]

This is not a question about the contents of tool kits but rather, where did the proud new owner of one of these fine machines find their tool kit shortly after driving their car away from the dealer's lot? I've always been impressed how almost everything on these cars has its purpose and place carefully thought through. Of course, what else would we expect? It's German! Then there is the tool kit. I have yet to find a location where it doesn't seem haphazardly placed to just roll around and get banged up. The best spot I've found is in the center of the spare but that tommy bar is a tad long to be anything but awkward. So where, pray tell, did the factory stow these things?

@ bbrock.

i wish i had driven mine away from the showroom.
- i've had it for 31 years and i bought it off the first owner.
it was untouched in most ways - might be a reasonable guide.

the sp57 spare was still in the front trunk.
cheerful (cheap) plastic bag VW tool kit was inside the spare - as per your photo.
towing hook was in the bag with the rubbish tools.

the tommy bar was with the jack in the rear trunk.
(ignore masking tape customisation, thats me).

back in 89 i got the feeling the toolkit hadn't been opened or used or the jack either. i've never used them, they look like they would break if i did. only taken the jack out to clean the trunk.
