My Gti.
I just couldn't stay away. After straying from the MKIII and boosted Vr6 gloriousness for a few years I am back. This was my last MKIII.
I thought about picking up a clean stock car but remembered how easy it is to shove $1000 a month into an MKIII making it what you want. So I had an idea. Why not just pick up the cleanest modded one I can find, sell all the mods and do what I want. Its much easier to pay an extra $100 a month on the car payment and have all the mods rolled in. So after a lot of searching I came across this car.

I had a buddy in NJ go for a ride and check it out. It was everything the owner said it was and then some. I sent a check and had the car shipped. Within an hour of taking it into my possesion it looked a little different.

Some of the stuff I didn't want anymore.
Part of my pile of goodies
and tada (thanks Brad Beardow for the obvious inspiration) :thumbup:
Still have a few more plans. I'd like to get the side moulding smoothed and painted. I am also not feeling the sidemarkers so new fenders may happen as well. I am getting ready to drive from CO back home to WA so I may drop it another 1/2" once I get home. Someone also has put a down payment on the HPA kit so it should have something a little more potent under the hood soon although 300 whp is fun for now.

that didn't take you long. Lookin' Good.
What's with the overspray in the fender wells? Is that common on a painted VDub? My buddy had his painted and was left with bright red fenders.
