they are there just to see.
the gotti center caps i have had the stupid Corvette logos on them and were wrapped in some kind of foil crap. I had those center caps sprayed satin black and and trying to decide what to do with them. but i do have all 4 original Gotti caps.

that is hours worth of hard thought out, back-breaking work right there my friend.

and i am still crossing my fingers for it to be done for Wuste, and if it isn't i am ultimately fine with that and will still have a fun time.

I had a tensioner break on start up so back out my motor comes and no Wuste for it this year. Party van instead lol. I hope this makes it there this year. I would really like to see it in person.

as it sits right now we have
diagnose why the spark isn't firing
install full interior
get tires mounted
wet sand, buff, minor paint touch up
install side skirts, front bumper, grill, headlights, fog lights, passenger door window regulator
alignment
and clear bra if i had time
oh and also try to put a few miles on it before the trip across the desert.

who knows what could happen in the next 4 days.

Wow man the wheels look good. When and where are you debuting it.

[Louie Bricants]

The vw emblems kill those gottis.

Definitely. IIRC he was talking about doing custom caps. I hope so.

[VR6 NRG]

I am going to have the Gotti center caps (which had Corvette logo's on them) painted the same color of the wheel. and i am going to try and get a Gotti logo so i can have some nice vinyl logo's made to stick on them.

The car was planned to debut at Wuste next weekend, but as it looks right now that may not happen, which is OK.

Dave is a super-solid guy, won't do you wrong.

[VR6 NRG]

now that i have some time, i will look into that site for sure. never heard of it before. thanks

[mk2driver]

How is it coming?

[.simple.]

Good to see you around Eric. Hope all is well.

[Pineapplegti !]

You figure out the spark problem ?

[VR6 NRG]

the car wasn't worked out late last week or the weekend because of Wuste. It's in the hands of the painter to put the finishing touches on it. Once he is done Parts Score will get it back to get it running and then assembled.
the goal is to be done by the end of this month now that we can take our time a little more.

the Gotti website has some decent enough centercap pics. You might have to clean them up, but you can definitely pull a logo from there.

i ended up having mine painted the same color as the wheel and i'll go with that for the time being.

[NTmK3]

Can't wait to see this thing running!

[LowLife]

Just went through your thread. Cabrio looks really good and am excited to see that your in AZ as I am new to the area. Will have to look into parts score. Looks like they've been doing great work

[VR6 NRG]

glad to see someone else from AZ here.
www.partsscore.com is their website. great place for maintenance and mods at good pricing and quick work too.

[Louie Bricants]

Wheels on yet?

[VR6 NRG]

the car will be back from the body shop tomorrow. then its time to get it running and put together.
body shop has had it the last 3 weeks.

[VR6 NRG]

a few new pics from today
body work is just about finished. probably 95% done. the color after buffing is beautiful, and the side moldings being on make it look more complete.

[.T.o.n.y.]

Coming alone Brian looks good, i look forward to cruising around with a fellow MK3 soon

[VR6 NRG]

soon enough

[TightDub]

[VR6 NRG]
