    On a serious note, for what you plan on putting into that car, I would have taken that money and bought something cleaner.. Just my thoughts.

    I know I have my work cut out for me, I really don't care. I always have a project car to throw money at. And I got his for next to nothing. And it's a plus that the rockers, floors and strut towers aren't falling out. First non rusty mk3. I'm from Chicago and carsout there don't last so this is a dream come true.. Lolol

    I LOVE RICERS! just the way they think it's hot sh*t to throw on a wing and a cold air intake and fart can, that all of this will somehow make up for the fact that most of the car has gone to the crapper.

    Done right it can OCCAISIONALLY look good, but it's always a HIGH DOLLAR venture, like 50 grand more than the car is worth

    Anyway, looks like you have some fun ahead you. My Vento looked worse exterior, better interior (until I pulled the carpet) but the jetta is coming along slowly for me.

    Northeast? It's a Cali car man. And I traded a beat rabbit for it. The rabbit needed a ton of work and a motor. So I'd say it was a fair trade

    Alright, I'm done whoring those cars out. I'm gonna get wasted when I get off work and tear this thing apart and start with the wiring. It's a ****ing nightmare
