                    Minus having a hood on it. lol And it wasn't washed. I'll find a picture=D

                    First time I saw the car. The hood that was on it in the picture above is the original one. It flew up on the highway from the PO (my friend pictured) not closing it all the way. Hence why it had a brand new windshield too.

                    He just bought the car a month or two before because it was on craigslist as a parts car. He put in the missing rear diff and changed the brakes. I believe that was about it.

                            Not a problem;) It'll be a euro m3 radiator cover. It's needed to pretty up the bay a little more:P

                                    Mine was a huge shitbox, but it was still way better than the mk3.

                                    More goodness. I just found out I can order my lips and they'll be ready in two weeks. Placing my order in the next few days.

                                          I called in sick on Friday to go in and work on the car. I now need it to get warm out so I can paint these parts and reassemble it all.

                                          I started off by slipping with a drill and hitting the trailing arms yet again. Somehow a tap followed.

                                          IMAG0865zps20a64189.jpg
                                          IMAG0878zpsad773961.jpg

                                          One of them is dead nuts in the center, the other is slightly off=( I don't believe it'll be much of an issue.

                                          I grabbed a new wire wheel and put it to good use.

                                          Do you think the paint should hold pretty well with that little bit of rust dust left? I can never seem to get it with a wire wheel=/

                                          I also decided to snap a few pictures of the rear brake lines. I am so glad that I decided to do the rear subframe now.

                                          IMAG0876zps5c1b9efd.jpg

                                          I'm hoping I can find a way to paint some of these items on Wednesday. I also have a few lists of parts that I need to order.

                                          The wheels are in transit, and I will be ordering lips shortly. I also decided on a color for the centers=) I most likely won't make my June deadline, but I have not given up.
