Welcome To My I am going to give updates of my progress with a few pictures here and there to show that I am really doing this myself. Well most of it! I will do everything I can do and get friends to help me out on the rest. Speaking of friends...I want to thank my
friends for helping me with the parts to complete this project. I was really thinking
about selling my baby and getting something "more reliable" but its the idea of
building something with your hands and seeing the finished project. Plus Well, these are the starting photos and As you see I am starting off with 1.8l 8V The rear of the car has been gutted and the interior wiring is being worked on. the dashboard is coming out and a new one is going in with an Autometer speedometer and rpm gauge. The door and quarter panel behind the seats are getting new door panels, the seats are going to be reupholstered, new carpet, and a new headliner. The outside is going to be rust free with new metal welded in spots that need it (at the base of the rear), new fenders for single round headlights, front radiator core (new) from a 75-80 Rabbit. So parts are being ordered, and the stack
in the corner is getting higher so I need to find a good weekend to get out and get
this all together. I want to finish this summer. My next thing is that I am going to try
those new Kumho Ecstra 712 tires. They are cheap and suppose to be great quality, and a
trip to the wheel polishing place so I get my ATS's back up to spec. They need help badly.
Sooo... this is the beginning and I know the end will never be in sight. You know...the
never ending project!!!
