    UPDATE: how it sits now:

    New Fitment by Mk4Wilk, on Flickr
    New wheels and ish on page 5

    Can't call it a build, cus theres no serious work going on. Figured i'd be like everyone else and make a thread of my car and whats been done. I take pictures of EVERYTHING i do to the car so bare with me....

    Day 1...summer 09, deal was i pay it off, then i can start working on it.


    a week later went at this bish

    then...before:


    after:

    They needed a good cleaning


    Smoked the sides


    brushed emblems

    Then came a mistake...




    half joey mod


    painted wheels, textured rubs


    Forge inlet, 007 dv, and CAI---excuse the dirty bay


    VDO boost guage


    Then came snow


    Then came ice...and mk3 tires on a mk4....gotta love it (not really)


    the shifter like 2 1/2 inches and started some interior stuff.


    moarr


    then this......


    to this...


    added a fk badgless notch filler is somewhat temporary...wont have the money for body work for a little while...untill then i am pleased.


    with a short break in the cold weather got my tsudo turbo back installed...real happy

    ultimos are waiting to be put on a long with a few other things...jus waiting for the weather to get a little warmer.

    wheels are going to be refinished...not black lol

    ill update as i go a long
