Default Nice day, thought I'd do something special- Thanks Paul!




Next thursday its all going back on. It looks tight. Want to say thanks to Paul for the inspiration and tips. Took about 5 hours of gutting, sanding, priming, sanding again and painting. It was all worth it though. Ill have pics when its everything is back together.

Plus, check out what I found in my basement in "Greg's Undestroyed Childhood Memories" box. (No lie, thats what my parents have it labled as)

LOL I used to have that matchbox car. I never could figure out what that writing was down the side, but it was a cool car. And nice job on the interior.

Yea yea, ignore the sub. Threw my backpack on it accidentally after bio lab the one day. Thats the next thing on my list to do.

Dakoda, the stock GTI interiors are cream colored from the bottom of the windows up (inc the headliner).

Hey Greg it looks good. It is always a good idea to give the paint a few days before you start forcing all those pieces back on. Plus you don't want your car smelling like paint fumes. I let mine sit for about 5 days before I put the stuff back in.
