My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

[Brian.]

should have parked in that dip! Get super lows!

[REKIII]

I meant that the wheel center point is way abve the center point of the arc the fender/bumper hole makes, so you get a large empty spot between the lower part of the tire and the front bumper. Not a bad thing, just one of those weird things excentuated by the angle of the photo.

I see what you're saying robert=P

[Earl]

Saw some flurries yesterday and decided it was time to change out my wheels, and raise it a bit, until I get my beater insured.

Last picture with this setup:

And now:

Looks so gross=( Can't wait for what is in store though.

[REKIII]

Yup, those wheels and stance look kinda dorky. Get the beater insured so you can put your baby away!

[Earl]

Put it away and tear it apart:D Motor coming out is one of the first things happening so I can get a jump on tucking and shaving the bay. I need to peel all of this plastidip off too.

[Ryan...]

Lovin the new wheels

[Brian.]

Love your winter set up! LOL, Just in time for snow too! I'm rocking my 3 piece wheels all winter I suppose. Oh well!

[Earl]

I won't even be rocking the car this winter=D lol MK3 Golf will be doing that duty.

[Brian.]

lol, cutie. Ever watch that video I sent you? LOL

[Earl]

Never updated here=P Here was the last update:

The car has been in storage for about a week and a half. Not enjoying driving my MK3 instead of it daily=P Wheels still havent sold, which prolongs the process of me refinishing the next set. I will not say what the next set is, but I'm either keeping them 9" front and 10" rear, or going to 10" front and 11" rear. I like the later option better=D

Here are some pictures of my style 5's up for grabs.

And now the current update. Finally got it pulled into the shop to tear down. Motor will come out shortly. Started doing some peeling action with the GF. Also picking up a MOMO hub adapter tomorrow so I can throw the Grip Royal on for pictures before I tear out the interior.

[REKIII]

That does not look fun.

[Earl]

Not much at all. However, the girlfriend was thouroughly enjoying it, and got most of that done herself=)

[Earl]

I finally installed my Grip Royal and ashtray on saturday but couldn't get good enough lighting for a nice picture of it. I also peeled all of the plastidip, besides the bumpers. Then I started to get ready to shave, tuck, and rip out the lump=)

More updates will come after Saturday. Hopefully the motor will be out, or the strut towers will be shaved from the strut mount forward.

[Brian.]

Looking goood!

[Earl]

I labelled the harness and removed a few more things Saturday, since no one could come help me yank it out. Also got a really crappy picture of my interior. I made it black and white because the picture made the wood look very bright, when it is a pretty deep cherry color.

[GunMetalGrey]

What motor is going in there?

Sent from the future. Or my phone, who knows.

[Earl]

The M42 is going back in=) Just freshened up with new gaskets, COP setup, and some schnazy paint.

[wasnt m3]

Please tell me you're not gonna do anything stupid with the engine bay like some bright color or metal flake. I know your VW buddies would think it's cool, but trust me you'd regret it

[Earl]

It'll go back to a nice shade of simple black;) This is just going to be a subtle looking, cleanly modded Ti;) It won't be quick, but it'll look good. At least that's what I'm going for
