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!

So how many DSMs do you have now? I remember seeing the purple 2g being chopped up. It seems you just cut these cars up and then start another one LOL

I have 3. This is the same 1g I had a build log on several months back. I just stopped working on it once the snow left. Due to a recent injury that put me out of work reading started bumping my ambition back up.
 
That's one hell of a project you have there. How much was it to get the gears faceplated?
 
Yes it is one big project. And the floor is bare metal in these pictures. Trying to get every ounce of sealer out and reprainting the interior. Dynamat is wayyyyy to heavy LOL. No creature comforts In this one. A cage a steering wheel and an aluminum seat is about it!
