On the Road Again

Okay so everything is back together and looking good. Well the paint doesn't really match but it's close enough until I can find a better orignal fender.


Here's a better shot of the fender. I put the trim piece back on after the wash and dry. I also cleaned all the extra crap out of the channel that the trim goes in. The dude that painted it didn't bother, total lazyness.


And check out my grill


Next steps are new rims, I'm thinking some black steelies in 14x8. With small rubber. Then updating the suspension since the coilovers on it are way to stiff for my liking.


Until next time...

Accident Update

At this pace of blogging I should just give up. But I'm not a quitter.

So I dismantled the GTI after finding all the right parts to put it back together. Looks kinda bad ass without the grill.

Removed the fender too

While I had it up in the air I not only changed the oil but replaced the oil pan. Someone over tightened the drain plug and stripped all the threads. That's unfortunate but a new pan and gasket was like $20.


New pan up on the roof, along with the Load Ranger for my wife's car


More updates on the reassembly coming soon. My fixed fender doesn't want to fit right. The gaps are way off and it's not camera worthy.
