Yep, Mojave Beige. And Im not gonna worry about cleaning this engine because its just gonna get replaced sooner than later. Im gonna build an ABA and do a full CE2 wiring swap, then eventually learn how to use megasquirt and turbo the sumbish.

love the potential, i really want you to clean that motor up more though, maybe paint the block too. in for it!

Good. Hopefully I'll get to see this around one day.

Is it really called mojave beige? I used to have a mk4 that was mojave beige.

Got a job finally so I will be getting this thing going a bit faster now. Hopefully It will be on the road in at least 2 weeks.

For the wheels, i went to 100,320,400, 600,800,1000,1500,2000,2500,3000 came out feeling smooth as hell, but make sure to take your time and polish them when your done. here are pics before and after.

they where rattle canned black, used airplane stripper and a flexible putty knife to get the paint off, i used the spray stuff, saw no problem like some people say.

and after sanding and a little polish.

they would have came out much better if i polished them more.

Thanks for the info, those wheels look baller. My wheels are stripped to bare metal already. I might get to polish them if it doesn't take all my money to get it on the road. Just bought a flex pipe today, couldn't find the right flange so I will go to a muffler shop and see if they have any tomorrow. And I'm thinking about just getting rid of the catalitic converter. Going to the junkyard tomorrow also.

Im getting a flex pipe today, I might go hit a junkyard to see if they have anything I need. Still no luck on finding some lost bolts so I can't put the engine in yet. Also fixed my steering column, I'm almost ready. Its been to long since she has seen the road.

[A1 BausSauce]

Engine still isn't in because I misplaced the intake manifold bolts and a lot of other random shit.

[A1 BausSauce]

Installed all the front steering and suspension components and changed the fluids. Im going to get my lug bolts tomorrow hopefully, here are a couple pics I snapped with my new camera.

Front brakes are ready, my car should be on the ground this week! I have a long day today at school, so I wont be doing anything today.
