My 97 on Euro A8 Winter Wheels

[thepirate]

You pot heads.

[fbm93]

Id also be content with tarmacs

Might be giving up on wrapping this thing already. I guess I'll see how I feel tomorrow after I try another panel, but so far the roof and hood are horrible with wrinkles all over that I can't get out. I'm just not good at this. Should've just saved this money for a respray this spring

Cactus green > vinyl white. How bad is your paint? It looks nice in the pictures. How far away from Bethlehem 18018 are you?

I agree on the first part, I just wanted a change and to cover up the rock chips without spending 2,500 or whatever on a respray right now.

It looks good in pictures and from 20 feet away in person but up close you can see the front has literally a million rock chips.

I'm in Walnutport 18088. 15-20 minutes from Bethlehem.

I guess I'll just finish this. If it has wrinkles, oh well, it'll only be a few months until I get a respray.

Dude..I'm right there with ya. The front half of my car is ****ed. Cactus green shows chips/scratches so bad.

[StanTheCaddy]

So, anyone want to buy 25-30 ft of 60" wide vinyl?

Gave up on wrapping it since I'm now 100% getting a respray this spring. I just didn't care enough to give the vinyl the time it needs to get right. But now I had to rattle can over the washer caps, side markers, and bottom line of the trunk wich I had fiberglassed and it looks like absolute ****.

Now do I stay Cactus or go with something completely different?

[NeedingAnAudi]

Pelican blue!

[StanTheCaddy]

^eh, if I change the color it would be something not originally available on a B5

The thought of brand new Cactus makes me wish I could fast forward three months though.

[NeedingAnAudi]

Yea, I can see that. Fresh cactus would be, well, fresh

[doored454]

Car looks badass man, maybe I'll see you around the area some day. Cactus.

[StanTheCaddy]

**** it. snapped these real quick on my way to work this morning. Looks like ass in person, but then again it always has. I don't really care too much for the time being though. Will be good come spring time.

Thanks man. I'm always on the lookout for other B5s

[NeedingAnAudi]

You get a new camera? Pictures look different. In a good way.

[StanTheCaddy]

^ yup, Canon T2i

[aledelic42]

[aledelic42]

[StanTheCaddy]

Thanks, you wanna meet sometime?

[aledelic42]

[StanTheCaddy]

[doored454]

If you guys don't mind a 4th wheel for a b5 meet let me know when you meet up at Sheetz, I work like two miles away. I met James before too, actually bought seats off him for my dads old b5 a couple months ago.

[aledelic42]

[bryangb]

No person operating gas pump shall leave it unattended.

Jk. For some reason I love gas pump photos

Oh hey look it's my website.

[silvermannn]

Man, that cactus looks goooooood! Makes me want to find someone to shave my bumper, side markers and and door molding.

Thinking about pushing the front wheels out at all?

[StanTheCaddy]

^^I'm content with how they are now, with these tires I wouldn't want to go out much further at this height

[StanTheCaddy]

Just because I love these wheels

those wheels really are the tits
oem

[StanTheCaddy]

oh joy. It seems like every 1.8 owner on here currently has or has had an oil leak recently.

IMG_0877 by ZVincler, on Flickr

oil leaking from above the oil filter, also red and white crap around there, so I need a new oil cooler. Could be worse I guess.

[NeedingAnAudi]

Check the oil cooler o-ring first.

[thepirate]

I bought an oil cooler thinking thats what my problem was, in fact its the rear flange again

I'll sell you mine, its still in the ECS box not even opened.
