Hello, First off I would like to start off by saying that I started off my last build thread on the wrong foot. I was arrogant and cocky. I had no right being either, but its my turn to take that all back, start a new log from scratch set zero goals and just get it done.
The car is a 1990 TSI AWD, a very clean car and a perfect starting point as it was a bare roller when I got it. It has had lots of weight removed, a new paint job and a new lease on life since I bought her roughly 3 years ago. I wont lie, I go through stages of working my butt off for weeks at a time then get bored and start something else. This time that will not happen. I am planning on weening down my litter after this car is completed. I will start off with a list of things that have been done to this point!
