Burgundy Build

[hubbell]

I hope your not talking about the Irish car?.. I will give you a ride in the Burgundy up to NJ to pick it up for assembly if you want.

haha

Can anyone tell me where I can order the bolts for the timing chain guides? Mine are a little rounded and don't want to strip them.

I used Testors Candy Red Transparent paint available at any local hobby shop. Then I had Dave clear them at his shop. I think they came out awesome.

And yes, windows out are a must when you go through this much work. If your doing a quickie job I can understand tapin but spendin this much glass out is appropriate.

Reading in the manual it said the window seals are cut durring R&R. Did you have to replace and if so what were the part numbers? I am planning on painting and do dont want to tape the opennings. Good build.

[cstanley19]

I replaced the front windshield molding and the rear glass molding but the side windows were reused. I didn't personally take them out Dave did but I know he reused the side glass molding. All parts available on 1stvwparts.com The front windshield is called the Reveal Molding, it has 3 pieces and the read lift gate glass molding is called the channel. total price for all is $260.82

They are so easy to take apart and its always better not to tape if you can. For this kind of paint job and I'm sure you paid a lot, I would expect the mirrors to be taken apart rather than taped. Especially with all of the time put into taking the rest of the car apart.

The reason I taped them off is cause sometimes I'm hit or miss on not breaking the glass and since I know how to mask stuff off properly I didn't find it a problem. But next set I do I'll get a how to from you or maybe just send them your way.

Yea I was going to use Zeb for the parts. I will have to try pulling the side glass without damage to the seals. The manual said you will damage them but we will see. Thanks

You can't really damage the quater glass seal the only way you could is when you cut it out you could rip through the edge that wraps around into the door jam. It's very simple to cut them out I've done it about 10 times now haha

subscribed. awesome work so far doing my own build right now, so always good to get some inspiration!

[cstanley19]

Cool man, I'll keep my eyes open for your page.

I test fit the wheels today, some mods are in order but I hope to make them work. They looked pisser.

[cstanley19]

Got some of the interior back together, rear bumper on, little things but more pics with my digital camera. Enjoy

[CuRide]

Good Lord!!

[DUBZAK]

You Polished EM!!!!!!!!

[cstanley19]

[VeedubR6]

^^ YES.

the wheels look all sorts of legit too.

[cstanley19]

Don't mind the ridiculous stretch. These are just the tires that came with the wheels, 245's will hide the lips perfectly without losing the stretch.

[VeedubR6]

haha it is a bit over the top, but regardless the wheels still look rad. what're the specs on the wheels? 8 up front, 9 rear?

[cstanley19]

17x8.5 up front 17x10's out back.

[VeedubR6]

damn dude. but i guess you have to fill those arches somehow!

keep the updates coming

[dasbeast3.0]

[V8Star]

When the hell did you get 17's?

[RedYellowWhite]

Oh Mightly Lord

Paint
arches
wheels (besides the rediculous stretch)

That's got to be the cleanest Burgundy I've ever seen here

[AceWaters]

Fenders look f**kin' RAD!

[corrado-correr]

is that a burgandy drum set too?

[corrado_sean2]

i wouldnt put 245s on the 10s. i had 235s on my twists and they were even a lil big. if you go that wide make sure you get a 35 series. you put a tire that big on there and your not gunna be able to go low at all and rub like crazy. honestly the tire size on them isnt that bad for the fitment if you wanna be able to go as low as possible and not rub. what size is on it? are these brandon neros old wheels off his mk4 jetta? id run like a 225 personally

[Sr. Karmann]

[cstanley19]
