Future plans, general comments:

Supposed to get BBS front air-dam painted next week, will mount with GTi flares when I can find a drill to use... This car was purchased from the junkyard for $200, I have about $4000 into it, cost of parts and materials. Top and all mechanical labor done by myself, bodywork done by roomate and other students at Nashville Auto Diesel College.

Sage advice to others:

purchase rust free vehicles...
