dude, your doing what i can only dream about. Ever since i bought my dsm i wanted to completely build it from the top to bottom with the best parts. Current income restricts me from this. Dont let haters get you down man, theyre jealous. Do what makes ya happy! best of luck with the rest of the build.

although I'm not a fan of the red interior, I'm highly impressed with your level of attention to detail. Good job sir.
 
Thanks for the coments, yes I know the red is strong, But if you were to see it in person you would love it trust me, pics do it no justice. And yes time to make it fast, I just have to finnish putting the interior back together today I will be mounting the fuel pumps and filters, lines and nitrous will be here tuesday. Not sure what I want to do about the tank.
 
the amount of work you've put into this car is insane! i wish i had that kind of motivation. i took out my interior hoping to start a build like this... long story short, going strip only fully gutted. LOL MAD PROPS:hellyeah:
 
Thank you. Yeah I know, I just wanted to do something different. Its like since fast and the furiouse, every one is scare to make the cars do more than go fast, you can go fast and make your car look nice all the other makes and models are doing it. on the out side except for the paint job the car will look stock. I say do what you feel and let your ride rep you, exspress yourself in your car as you would your cloths or shoes, we dont wear or like the same colors, so why should you do it any different in your car.
 
Ok the old saying a watch pot never boils is sooooooooo true, I am waiting on parts and I know they are coming today, but it seems they are taking thier sweet time, (usps). UUUUUHHHHGGGG!!!!!!!
 
Good love the work i cant wait till i start on my tsi or gsx. Kinda down the same path, show and go for me. Nice and clean props.
 
So I just got done reading the entire blog, and let me first off say that I love the fact that you are doing this car the right way and not half assing everything. This is a post of my humble opinion and personal preference and in no way do I intend to bash or offend you. Why nitrous? With all of the DSM's out there making solid semi-reliable power why did you opt for nitrous? IMHO, just another HUGE risk to your baby, one "oops" and kaboom.
I am so glad you decided to go with the full black interior panels, they look much nicer than the black and grey mix. Honestly I am not a fan of the rear seats being re-upholstered or the headliner to match, but it's not my car, so whatever makes you happy is what you should do with your car. Also, just a thought but a full one piece A-pillar gauge pod in black would look much cleaner than the painted piece slapped on their, honestly to me that is the most half-assed thing I have seen in this build. Take everything I have said with a grain of salt. Enjoy and again, good to see someone doing it right.
 
Hey thanks, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your op. Now to answer some of your questions...The NOS is just for spoolup, the turbo is sorta big, and I know with a strocker and the well built head thats on the way it will be fine, but just incase. Besides it would look great ( Tha wow factor). NOw the seats, I know they are loud, and and wierd, but I wanted something that would set the car apart....Its kinda like the car will be able to get away withem, because of the quality of everything else. Kinda like being the star football player and wearing bunny shoes to school...LOL, Its wrong but it works. In closing, " feel like Im giving the minutes at church", the pod is on its way out just have to find one. Again thanks for your op, it really helps when you guys comment.

So got back to replacing all the parts I had powdercoated, I am very happy with it. Trying to get all the suspention put back together, and it is a pain.
 
It feels good to put in the work yourself. Im restoring a 2Gb Panda N/T and after looking at your work it makes me want to get into my garage. Keep up the positive energy and good luck
 
Yes it does, and thank you, sometimes you get lazy, but you make yourself get up and get something done. I have all these parts lying around and I love to see it when I pick something uot of my collection, and say well I geuss Ill instaul this today.

Just got my kelford 280s in Im so excited, cant wait to see all this stuff come together. Just waiting on some suspension parts to come in then I can get back to work.
 
Subscribed. Damn, I'm amazed at this build. Interior is F**KING BOSS! Only a 2g could pull that off ;)

All that work looks expensive, and I can't wait to see how much $$ you drop on the engine!

Good work man, I feel motivated now.. I'll be in my garage.
