    That bay actually looks pretty nice. Your motivation should be that you will never get the time and work that you've put in back when you sell it. I think it looks good.

    And i dont mean for any offence to be taken here, im thinking this paticular jetta is a bit too personalized to be sold. Shes a keeper til she dies anyhow.

    All that work in the bay will be distracted by the dirty motor. I would do the engine wrinkle black. That would look killer

    It almost did. Someone checked back in after a couple of months and seems that may have kicked his ass back in gear. see below
