It's alive... Barely

**.yuk.** · 10-04-2012 08:30 PM

After a few hit and runs, having to replace the clutch twice and pull the trans 7 or 8 times for constant issues my cabrio is together. Took it to H2o and actually out for basically the first time this year.

Front and rear fenders are finished, as well as new euro bumpers and air ride. Kept most of the stuff going on with the car to myself until it was finished. i did the best I could with my own hands and got some help from a few friends.

Hope you dig it.

Looks Good! What front valence is that?

**rhodri45** · 10-04-2012 08:42 PM

sick, diggin the shaved bumper. lower it more.

get the golf front end

**.yuk.** · 10-04-2012 09:18 PM

Shaved Euro bumper with an ABT lip. I could easily make a golf front. I don't really like them though

**BHCGanshirt** · 10-04-2012 09:27 PM

Always been on point, better than ever now!

ABT lip looks good, you should sell it to me

**vdubya302** · 10-04-2012 09:46 PM

looks like poo and I would never be caught dead in the back of that thing for a whole weekend.

As always looking good my man. I'll get up with you next week once I hit the yard up.

The greatest thing about this car is the guy that owns it.

Shame I didn't see you this past weekend my man. Saw the car being driven around by someone on Friday but it wasn't you.

Looking so good

Glad to see that you never gave up on this car and stuck out all the issues

Yea it was my buddy Mike Zimny. I had some beers and didn't want to drive anywhere

**.yuk.** · 10-04-2012 10:31 PM

Looking for affordable, low offset 16's if anyone comes across anything. At least 8" wide and offset under et15 if possible. The lower the better for the rear, those grids are at et-5 right now

**ventoCL** · 10-04-2012 10:44 PM

**heerschap** · 10-04-2012 10:51 PM

lookin good

**Insan3Vr6** · 10-04-2012 11:00 PM

Better have a euro rear rebar on this thing

Saw the car at h20. Thought it was yours but the flat color threw me off at first. Wheels and fenders confirmed to be yours.

Plans to match up the rear bumper with those quarters?

**swirvtheman** · 10-05-2012 01:39 PM

Looks good. But why all the rear fender work??? Better wheel fitment planned???

**cramerica** · 10-05-2012 02:02 PM

I'm not normally into shaved fronts, but I really dig this.

dafuq is crawling out of your tailpipe?

**VolodkaVR** · 10-05-2012 03:08 PM

**.yuk.** · 10-05-2012 05:50 PM

Yea, when I was doing the wrap I accidentally backed into the fire hydrant in front of my house and screwed up the rear bumper, this is the spare.

Fender was screwed up by a hit and run. Had them pulled so I can basically run whatever wheels I want.

Front bumper came from another sniff car. Oh, that's my catback exhaust breh.

**metalgear_mk3** · 10-05-2012 05:55 PM

matte vinyl wrap? i can dig it.

**joemiller1989** · 10-05-2012 06:45 PM

How much was the wrap if you don't mind me asking thinking about doing it to mine or plastic dipping it

**Sonic303** · 10-05-2012 09:30 PM

Love what you've done with the car, sleepy boser was boss but this is insane! I will take that lip when you get bored of it

I have some 16x9 RH Cups final et 18 if you're interested

**vw mkiii** · 10-05-2012 09:45 PM

the exhaust tip made me laugh

**<MK3** · 10-06-2012 06:55 AM

i thought you had stripped the clear on it when i first walked up on it at h2o. glad its just vinyl. front end and fenders look great

sorry but i could never get into those wheels.

**911_fan** · 10-06-2012 10:09 AM

Matte Jazz blue > shiny Jazz blue

Maybe I missed this....plans for the rear arch/bumper?

**gozu** · 10-06-2012 12:46 PM

This car is way overrated.

**Andrewrg** · 10-06-2012 12:54 PM

Have you been in Dillsburg, PA at any point in the past month or so? I swear I saw this at a Sheetz off of route 15...

**Murphy95** · 10-06-2012 04:22 PM

**mkIIIVDUB** · 10-06-2012 11:17 PM

It was nice hanging out last week and the car looks great.
Always love to see this car in one piece.

**4690** · 10-07-2012 03:31 AM

i like your door handles.

**vdubya302** · 10-07-2012 03:02 PM

editing tons of photos from the weekend. #ttp

**.yuk.** · 10-07-2012 06:49 PM

The car was actually Nogaro blue before the wrap.

I actually did the wrap in my driveway with a little help with the really hard stuff from a few friends. I did it mainly because how little $$ I have into it. It was super cheap. I scored 23 feet of vinyl for super cheap, they bought an additional 15'.

The bumpers are just over 8' long

I appreciate the love and I am going to work on the rear bumper when I get a new one. I rubbed through this one basically.

And I like the wheels on it, just want something new

**.yuk.** · 10-09-2012 06:36 PM

**nfx** · 10-09-2012 09:10 PM

The vinyl wrap is sick... car is awesome as always

**.yuk.** · 10-16-2012 06:30 PM

Thank ya!
