Hope all is well & your dad starts feeling better...

Looking forward to the pic updates, to see all the work you've done... I know you've made quite some progress, and I bet it looks great - good to know it's running strong, too (now aren't you glad you resisted the urge to "blow it up"? ;)

I was going to put them hanging from the bottom towards the ground but too low...... I put them ontop to give it that European Ralley car look.... Thats why I haven't bought new wheels in a bigger size.......

Once I am finished I want the ralley car look not the straight street look..... I am going to get the glass smoked to a purple black color and paint the wires black......

I just look for 'original' things to do with it... The ralley car theme also why I have douglas performance GT-h tires..... kind on off road but with a street look...

Edit: I may take them oof they do weigh a lot on the bumper which is being help on with screws because the brackets broke... haha

I haven't posted anything in awhile about my jetta i think its about time....... only bad thing is no pics yet :(.......

I have decided to paint it canary yellow and either black or white........ dont ask i just thought it would stand out nice and I have seen a couple different ones yellowish and looked nice..... Haven't done much to it.... tail light is all messed up gotta fix that.... other than that still mashin along in it......

Oh...... :( got pulled over twice for loud exhaust..... kinda sucked both warnings though....

EDIT: Fog lights fell off......... aswell as ripped my bumper off driving down the road so no more lights..... just bit holes where they were mounted...
