i bought these fenders from my neighbor along with the hood for $100.

they have 74 Vega tailights and square headlights.

haha the other headlight was in the car at the time.

i was trying to figure out how to get it put back in with the back fiberglass cover on it.

well i've totally gutted the interior, right now i'm working on hand tapping out pieces of metal to fill in the cancer i've found. i've also spent some time replacing the floor pans which were completely rotten under the tar board (the drivers side pan didn't have a hole in it until i made the mistake of getting in it and putting my body wieght on a rotten out floor pan. haha) I plan to coat both the inside and underside of the pans with some undercoat to keep the pans from rusting out again. I have a new headliner, carpet kit, dash on backorder, new gauges, lights, bells whistles and whatnot waiting to be installed, new steering wheel, (its like an 8 inch steering wheel) new roller pedal(billet aluminum style), new running boards, all fenders and hood patched where needed and primered, i have new bumpers with the turn signals mounted in them for the cal look and because i didn't feel like cutting holes into $150 fenders. :P  i also pitched out the stock exhaust and got some merged headers with the wide 3 bolt pattern for a stinger!!!

in the summer me and my cousin, are going to build custom sub boxes to fit in our cars, 2 10 inch kickers in a VW is gonna be insane.

yup yup, just a bit of an update for those who take the time to look at this beast. painting it will probably happen this summer if all goes well.(yes i am painting it myself)

taking it apart was easy, putting it back together is the hard part. XP

Yep, I've got a case already cut for 90.5's so I'm going to put new pistons and cylinders in it. I may stroke it from there, just depends on how much money I have when it comes time to buy a crank! BTW - Your Mullholland kit should have running boards to complete the kit. You can get them here: http://www.creativecarcraft.com/onthe.htm

I get most of my parts from California Imports, www.cip1.com. I also use Mid America Motorworks since they are close to me, but most of the time CIP has free shipping if you order over $100. DONT buy anything from JC Whitney, they ONLY sell crap.
