      I look forward to seeing this finished up, and yes are you keeping it white?

      Fresh paint and some balling wheels and I would drive this every second I could!

        Yea, just staying white, it's Sarah's car and that what she wants.

        I would love to find some BBS RM's and do white centers with polished lips.



        If anyone knows of some for sale....

          Yes that would work just fine!!!

          I think Martin (martin13) had some RMs that he was not sure if he was keeping or not....

            I cut some metal work out of some mk4 fenders so that is what I am going to work into my cabby fenders. I looked at some nice rims on tirerack that I might go with. I don't think I am going to go bigger than 15" though.
            So what are you going to do for an antenna? I need ideas I also want to do something with the gas cap but have yet to come up with something good. I might see if I can work the metalwork from my parts jetta in there though.

                      I'll keep an eye out, I have already had a set once when I had a MK2 GTI, starting to wish I kept them around...

                            I have had the car back for a bit now, just finished wrapping up all the little details. Actually paid someone to clean my car for the first time, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.
