ROCK THE "WESTMORELAND"
TIME TO GET SERIOUS. I FINALLY TRACKED DOWN AN OEM PARTS STORE. THE PLAN IS TO GET THIS RABBIT ON SOME JACKSTANDS AND PULL EVERYTHING OFF. I'M GOING TO SAND BLAST AND SEAL THE METAL. THEN PRIME IT FOR PAINT. THEN NEW CARPET . ONCE THATS DONE, I'M GONNA PULL THE MOTOR OUT AND GET THE PULLYS AND BRACKETS AND PAN/VALVE COVER AND A-ARMS AND MOUNTS ALL PAINTED. "ITS NOT EXACTLY THE RIGHT WAY OF DOING IT , BUT ITS REALISTIC. I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ALL THE DENTS, AND I RATHER NOT GET 10K INTO THE BODY AND HAVE IT STILL BE ON JACK STANDS"
SPECIAL NOTE::::: I WILL NOT BE REPLACING THE CORE SUPPORT WITH AN EARLIER ROUND LAMP BEZEL STYLE:::::::I WILL NOT BE BUYING EURO BUMPERS THAT TOTAL THE CAR AT A 5MPH IMPACT::::I WILL NOT BE PUTTING GHETTO HONDA RIMS ON OR CHANGING ANY LAMPS TO SMOKED OR CLEAR::::::THIS IS A CLASSIC, AND WILL BE RESTORED WITH VW PARTS, THE WAY GOD INTENDED IT. AS FOR THE ENGINE... THE NEW GTI HI-COMP 1.8 BIG VALVE OUT OF A 90 GTI IS STRONG...BUT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO LOOK CLEANER...SO I'M GOIN DUAL CARBS AND PULLIN OFF THE CIS, WHICH IS GOING IN A GLASS CASE SINCE ITS THE ORIGINAL CIS FROM THE FACTORY. ALSO, SINCE IT HAS THE GTI MOTOR.. I DON'T SEE WHY I CAN'T PUT ON THE FENDER FLARES AS WELL AS WELL AS THE LARGE DUCK BILL FRONT SPOILER.
TIME TO FUCK SHIT UP !
