Lookin good. I like mk3 but the reliability of vw scares me away from one. Paint the stockers white for now would look good to me

Unfortunately I didn't do it properly, because I don't have a welder and it was cheaper than $50 per side to buy washer nozzles to fill the holes.

Ohh, i guess I just had mine blacked out for so long that I forgot what it looked like to have them on!
also, you never answered my question about the Mk4 intake setup...

Sorry, I didn't see that question before. But, yes I did. However, I've been told the fuel rail I bought was actually a MK3 one even though the auction was for an MK4 one. It holds the MK4 injectors fine though, so I'm not really sure. I got the car running last weekend, first it sprayed fuel everywhere, then I came home from a 3 day vacation only to find a coolant leak that wasn't there before. I love this car... And, here's an open header start up video

you used mk4 injectors also?
the manifold swap was one of the next things on my list.
video is unavailable, bud.

This car looked mint in PVW.
Oh wait, that never happened.
Lose the sticker.

The car is nice, though.

Yeah, I did, but you don't have to. Everythings pretty easy, but there's some stuff that you'll have to come up with fixes for. I suggest re-locating the battery if you can. I didn't, but it would've made the intake set up a LOT easier.

Yeah, let me get right on that. It's a sticker. Get over it.

Battery is going in the trunk as soon as I can get the wiring and a little circuit breaker.
my washer bottle and other misc. under hood parts have also been deleted.
Thanks for all the help!

No problem man. Let me know if you have any more questions on it. I can probably help you.

Most recent picture. I just got some new 185/60/R14 Dunlop Direzza Star Specs , because I had bald tires all the way around. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough to buy wheels, so still on the stockers. I also installed some fully adjustable CXracing coilovers, so it rides way better than on my old FKs. Hopefully more updates will be coming soon.
