    With the weather warming up, I may feel like working on things for the Cabrio so that when it returns I will be able to start work without delay.

    Until the Cabrio comes back from paint, we are working on a new project, a 2010 CC VR6 4Motion. I will post up a link for the thread as soon as it is started. Talk about a fun car to drive.

    Been busy with work, but have spent a little time on the CC. No changes on the Cabrio, sadly.

    Yes, it is my CC. Here is a pic of it shortly after I got it and had the windows tinted. This was later in the evening so the windows look real dark, but it is just the lighting and not my Canon camera. It is a 3.6 4Motion car.

    Still have the wagon as the daily driver. The CC is the weekend car for going out on the town and on a trip. I have only driven it to work one time and it will be a while until I do drive to work again. Mainly the resurfacing of the interstate and second being the 25mpg which is nearly $30 to get to work and back.

    There are a good number of people in the Charlotte and surrounding area that meet up at least once a week to talk VW's and other stuff.

    I meet up with them when I can as I am on the road out of town for work most everyday.

    Well hopefully after SOWO, I will be able to get some action from the body shop and hopefully pics. It makes it hard when the shop is two hours away from me and nearly four from where I work, so getting up there is rare.

    Thought the Cabrio isn't moving forward, the CC is. Just finished the Bilstein PSS10 install. It can go lower, but this is about where I want it at. May fine tune it later today if I need to, but front corners are at the same height and rears are at the same height, so I may just go get it aligned tomorrow morning. Now, just need to get some spacers for it.

    Hopefully at SOWO, I will be able to get a status report for the Cabrio from the body shop as to when it will be finished. I also picked up a Mk2 GLI that may become a keeper and if so, it will be a complete redo.

    At SOWO, the body guy and me hashed out what it was going to take to get the Cabrio finished in paint and my paint supplier is working on getting me the much needed supplies to finish the outside. Hopefully next week, I will have paint in hand to deliver to the body shop. With two major projects in process of my own and two more to get finished [one by September] it will be a busy eleven months and few days for me to get both cars finished for SOWO next year.

    Currently, I am still waiting on the body shop to finish. So I continue to gather parts for my Mk2 GLI and have sourced an R32 head that I may use on the 2.8.

    Putting the R32 head on the 2.8 24V is more tha possible, it has been done. I have actually have a long block 3.2 that has some issues that could be repaired and put down into the Cabrio also, rather than just the head on my nearly new 2.8.

    Well, after more than two years sitting at the body shop, I will be going to pick up Cabrio back, unpainted. It will most likely go up for sale along with all the parts that I have gathered, including the RHD swap and 24V engine.
