Well I wanted a new motor. So, i got a 2004 1.8T with 70K on it. The motor and everything just got here, so im starting the swap tonight, ill have new pics up soon..
First off, I REALLY REALLY hate this paint. Was not my choice. I am painting the car along with a DDI body kit, and a TT gas cap conversion. I am painting the car graphite-charcole on the bottem half, and peuter-silver on the top. The body line will be split down the main body line (below the window) with a thin black line, a small German flag with be under the clear coat by the rear wing.
This is the TT gas cap im getting
Please tell me what color you think would be best
Here are some body kits Im looking at, let me know what body kit u like.

I didnt want any VW or Corrado logos on the car. We did the "Platinum Touch" in the corrado font.
These are my first set of rims. I had them on for a month. Then I had seen a red corrado in halifax with the same rims, so I had to get new ones.
This was building the hood scoop at Platinum Touch Auto Care
This was the first big order.
This is my dad helping with the wiring
