Tons of work, but it is what I want so I can deal with it. Hopefully it will ALL be worth it in the end.

Bah you would have been better off getting a Subaru or old VW

Supraholic · 02-12-2007, 03:06 AM

^^^ I had a couple, traded them for my lawn mower :D

**Ender81** · 02-12-2007, 03:08 AM

That had better be some lawn mower haha

**TROLL** · 02-12-2007, 03:16 AM

Supraholic · 02-12-2007, 03:22 AM

**TROLL** · 02-12-2007, 03:29 AM

Supraholic · 02-12-2007, 04:20 AM

Freakin sweet build! I love your carefull planning.

Wiisass · 02-12-2007, 01:58 PM

I really don't understand supra guys. No offense meant, I just don't get them. I've made one mk3 out of two and worked on Mk4's before and I don't get it. You guys are weird.

Supraholic · 02-12-2007, 04:42 PM

^^^ you have elaborate more on that. I'm not sure what you're talking about, but thanks for your comments anyways.

Supraholic · 02-14-2007, 01:21 AM

Ok guys, here are a few pics of the progress. These are not from today. I got a lot done today. I'll post those pictures at the bottom.

Here are some pictures of the underbody coating. The sub frames are not done. This is the first layer of coating. Once I get the car painted, another layer of underbody coating will go on as well as getting the sub frames powder coated. Again, sorry for not taking pics when the sub frames were off and the chassis was completely bare. I keep forgetting to take pics of these types of things.

Pic of the interior under the cover.

Engine Bay almost disassembled. There're many many holes which will be welded shut by the shop before painting the engine bay.

Here are the pictures as of today. This is how the car stands right now. There is nothing on the chassis right now but the suspension, doors, fenders and windshields. Those will be removed at the paint shop.

Everything gets labeled and packed away. All the big items are stored either in the garage's basement or in the attic inside the house. All door panels, carpet and everything else, except the front seats are wrapped in plastic and stored.

There are a couple more parts I ordered underway. I need those before getting the car painted. My front bumper lip being one of them should be arriving soon.

Supraholic · 02-14-2007, 12:44 PM

Supraholic · 02-19-2007, 08:16 PM

Update:

Here's another photochop guys, indigo ink blue, chrome molding trim, and HREs 545. I've also updated the first page so you can compare them side-by-side and comment on it. I'd appreciate it.
