I've always prefer jeweled lights to the old style, non see through ones. It's more aesthetically pleasing and more modern.

I could see it either way...

As for the VW, still interesting...your car, your style, I'd like to see it regardless

I wasn't a fan of them in the beginning, but after seeing them on other Golf/GTI's, I warmed up to them. I think it'll be a rather unique look. And if I have to add red reflectors, I will. No big deal.

Just picked up this set of alloys with decent winter tires for $120.

Those look like a nice upgrade.

Nice!

My Xmas gift to myself... Had it out today. Still awaiting body panels, but atleast I've located a full set ready to be picked up.

I've also done some more minor fixes and parts swapping including getting my keyless entry setup from the Jetta swapped in so that I will never, ever have to deal with manual locks... evarrr!!

One trick I've learned involves an eraser. It's the cheapest, easiest way I've ever cleaned up exterior plastics. Those textured door moldings? Like new again (besides the driver's side, they need replaced entirely) after using this method. All that buildup wax, dirt, and spots I thought were just faded have been magically erased. Surprised the f@#k out of me.

Also, I've discovered a new quirk. When you lock the doors, the fuel door locks as well.

It's coming along nicely!

Those rims were a hell of a bargain, they do a lot for it. Sounds like you're on your way. It looks beautiful in the dark, all wet.

Once I get the aforementioned body panels, It'll start to look a whole lot nicer. This guy has my hatch, both bumpers, fender, grill... and even doors if I wanted them. I was lucky enough to find someone who hates the color enough to go with multicolored panels until he gets his painted.

Beyond that, next on my list is to swap over my headlight wiring harness, relay, and switch from the Jetta to add OEM foglights. And then I have some custom wiring to be done behind the dash to implement a few more features from the Jetta, including some were never implemented into any MK3 from the factory (I want to move the hatch popper out of the glovebox as well as do some unique lighting as I like a well-lit interior). That and I still need to swap the Jetta's mint seats and black interior panels into it (The all beige is far too unappealing to the eye).

To say the least, I'm excited to have embarked on this project.

The mod bug is an infectious and awesome curse.

Coming along nicely, BV!

I picked up a $h!load of parts yesterday. Literally filled the Golf up with them. Going to be getting more this weekend. I've officially spent more on parts than I have the car.

I can vouch for that. You barely had enough room to sit in there.

Cool!

Awesome, I do that with the Prizm from time to time. You'd be amazed what you can stuff in there.

I see you're having fun with this.

I think tearing my Jetta down to the bare metal was the most enjoyable aspect of wrecking it. So to do that without, you know, wrecking a car... will be even more grand.

BV you need a sig of you Golf...since you actually like that car and are enjoying it.

I think that is his Golf in the sig. Vipes, didn't you say you picked up some Audi dash in your parts run?

Speaking of signatures. Patience pays virtue.

Yep, I'd say the project car bug has bitten you bad, son.

Hey, with bringing the car back up to speed, you should be able to turn a little profit on it, should you need to sell it. But once you've really started putting work into it, it's hard to let it go unless you have to.

*nods* I'll even make it RHD, to boot.

Indeed it has. I'll be trading my mom for the Sunfire pretty soon as well and I may do a few things to it just to see if it'll make it run any better, and to possibly get more out of it when I sell it. No one wants a car that runs like $h!, obviously.

Motherf**ker. I accidentally hit the radiator while removing the bumper and a few minutes later... *drip* *drip* *drip*

Oops, that sucks.

Too bad the Fire is a stick....I could use a beater.....

Interesting..is that a TT dash fitted to a Golf?
