    i finally got the car today, still need a few tiny things here and there but it drives and looks fantastic.
    quick iphone pics, sorry
    I'll just share all the pics i took tonight whether they are good or not.
    and YES i know it doesn't have door panels in it. we have to get the passenger side window adjusted tomorrow then they will be put on. and i really don't like the exhaust tip but it was used, available, and will do for now.

    A Vibrant Streetpower 1149 would solve your tip problems and give you some needed aggressiveness on the sound note.

    I personally feel the black coating flows well with the black of the bumper, skirts & lip.

    Don't have any other pics than these...

    i already have the new top for it, but because of $$, it is an new OEM mk3.5 light grey cloth top. I didn't want black, and the OEM beige ones were ugly, i think the grey will accent this color nicely, and the top won't be up a lot.

    but the top install will have to wait a little while because of funds.

    and the pedals are from a MK1 Audi TT bought used here on Vortex for cheap.

    ahhh nice, grey will def look good, you gotta get a cover for the top too! and then have it wrapped or finished the same color as the seats and same stitch pattern.

    the top install is pretty easy man. there is a DIY for it.

    I got a black leather boot from ebay from a 2000 Cabrio and it was used like 5 times they said and it shows. its nearly mint. I will run that and then maybe do something custom with it down the line.
    the next few weeks will be about getting all the tiny nut and bolt things for the car, various clips, screws, etc that neither of the donor cars had just to make it fully complete and as OEM as possible.

    the wheels are 16x9 all around, but there are no offset markings on them so i have no clue.
    they are a corvette bolt patter and need adapters to fit obviously. i think 20 in the rear and 15 in the front.
    there is a wobble in front and i think its because the adapters. they are just generic adapters that may not bee 100% perfect but they'll have to do for now.

    but it rode pretty damn nice on the highway at 70-75mph turning 2500rpms with the TDI trans.

    It will get an alignment tomorrow, an oil change to check the condition of the oil, and it looks like the A/C compressor is't turning on so that has to be looked at

    i bought the fogs/turns before the headlights, i will get smoked fogs or have these very lightly tinted to try and match the headlights if possible.

    reminder: this thread is more of my own blog, so if i seem to be posting a lot of pics, its more for me. choose to view or not.

    I've logged just over 100 miles on the car since Thursday when i picked it up, and there has not been one issue yet. I finally brought it home tonight after staying at the dealership i work at for the last 3 nights.
    I did a little video walkaround of the car while in my driveway. just for poops and laughs
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3MJK...ature=youtu.be

    some pics of the trunk




    and some final engine pics that havent been seen yet











    some of the interior with the cream vinyl and black diamond stitching




    and some of the car

    So, the million dollar (no pun intended...) question:

    Including the cost of the car and donor car, from start to finish how much do you have invested in the car to get it to this point?

    You can PM me if you don't want to publicize it. I think it'd just be a good litmus for people to realize what it takes to build a pretty complete car.

    i ordered the smoked turns/fogs last night to tie the front end in better with the headlights.

    i also located a few of the last interior pieces i needed from Ober_FL here on the tex, awesome pricing that can't be beat.

    the fender liners got in the way when low, we may try to put them in again, but the tire is sitting right on the inside of the fender, IMO the fitment and offset is perfect. hopefully it won't ever see the rain, so i shouldnt have to worry about those holes.

    thanks Grabbit. Cabrio wasn't always my first choice but i had owned a MK3 GTI Vr6 and Jetta GLX so i figured this time would be a different model.

    I was more curious than anything being it was build relatively quickly and seems to have been done 100% correct.

    I wasn't trying to be rude. I apologize if i cam across that way. The way you asked the question i guess just surprised me. I'm glad you were able to get answers to your questions.
