Another rebirth after another death

[RabbitPusher]

Long story made short. Left turn, wet road, oil patch, light pole. Sucks I just got my antique plates on too. On a brighter note I've been housing a mk2 gti that was supposed to receive a revival in the coming months, but the agenda has been forced and it begins now.



and now

so I got home with the help of boostaddict and began planning and tearing down this chassis in preparation for the mk2 build.


ok lets do this

Sick!! Good luck with build..

some wet sanding from the other day



and then some buffing


90% done with the buffing

Scored some big bumper flares in the junkyard that ive been trying to find online to no avail. They were pretty chalky looking so I gave them a little rejuvenation.




This week I began sanding the hood, fenders, and bumpers in preparation for a re-spray that will hopefully be happening this weekend.




In the midst of my sanding the USPS truck delivered an ecs tuning package I've been awaiting for some time now. New door handles, moulding grommets, trim clips, bumper guides, and door handle gaskets.

I love these types of build threads!

Awesome undertaking and best of luck! Keep us updated

Got a couple small things accomplished today. Roof trim, door handles, and door mouldings were installed. Installing the roof trim was a giant pain in the rectum. Ended up chipping some of my paint and ripping part of the seal on the passenger side.
On a brighter note I've got a few cool parts to put on

Sorry about the light pole but it sort of forced your hand on a new project. So far so good, I wish you luck and am looking forward to watching this unfold!

Rough day but I managed to get everything I need to get some work done this weekend. Should be shooting some paint tomorrow. On sunday possibly installing some coilovers and poly bushed control arms.

I manage to make some pretty good progress this weekend and today. After a couple small hurdles I was able to get my fenders, bumpers, and hood painted, as well as get my new control arms installed.

That looks like quality paint work to me...

[RabbitPusher]

Heh thanks. I'm not really a body work and paint guy.

[RabbitPusher]

I manged to get a couple of things done this weekend.

Nice build. Having owned 3 mk1's and 2 mk2's, gotta say i still have a soft spot for the mk2

Damn, good job!

doing anything engine wise?
I hear someone is trying to drop a TSI into an mk2, that would be fun.
