  • The Shape of Things to Come

    Well thought I would give a little update on project Jetta. The wheels are now on, getting a bit of rubbing but the fenders are getting operated on June 3rd. After many issues and a few lost dollars I have decided to put the boser on hold for the time being but hopefully get it going over the winter.

    So here is a picture of a nice car in Arizona my front will be identical to this except in lovely Porcelain Blue to give you all an idea of the look that I hope to have soon

                            I believe it is being charged based on the time required, and they charge a minimum 1 hour per corner. So I am estimating 2-300 for all four fenders. I think their prices have gone up, but not many places do this work and I had to book nearly a month in advance

                              Wow that seems pricey. How much does tunerworks rent the tool for does anyone know?
