Very nice, Jason - glad to see you getting your props.Though bpd did do a great deal of the work, it's important to note that as far cleanliness, attention to detail, and an overall level of "correctness" is concerned, Jason has taken this car to a whole other level. Yes, this job took longer than anyone expected/wanted, but we couldn't have asked for a more understanding and motivated customer. Seriously.

OK, I often wonder this when I see cars that are just sooooo nice-- Does your VW actually have periods when everything works , so that you can keep upgrading? Because my upgrade budget constantly keeps turning into a repair bill!!  Awesome car, cheers! ridwan

Beautiful car. Looks in excellent shape, as well as very tasteful mods.
I also happen to have a '92 GTI 16v , same color and pretty much stock. Although not as clean as yours(maybe someday).
Here's some pics.
