up to speed build. vw jetta coupe

[a2lowvw]

couple before pictures







pulled the motor



built this



and grabbed one of these for the transmission build



started shaving the bay







then that nasty stuff called filler



bolted together



and test fit into the car



looking better



started working on the trunk



took a week of vacation to finish the prep and paint



not bad for never using a paint gun... pre clearcoat



coming together







stock lower radiator support



modified with the radiator test fit



part of the reason it took so long to finish



pulled an all nighter to get it finished for waterwerks... car started for the first time at 2 am and had no interior in it yet and made it to the show running by 8:30.







must say i am really excited with the turnout. i still have plenty of thing to fix and finish but i am very excited to be able to drive it again.
