It's cool that you guys still grew an interest in cars and put in work on your own experiences though.

Yeah but sometimes it'll definitely be easier if i had some help from my dad like you get from your father Starts with the available tools....
I see my buddy's father helping him out building his '81 MK1 Golf with stuff like taking alternators apart to fix them and calibrating double Webers on a 1.8 16V and such...that guy's true German craftsmanship

Lookin' good!

Finally got a bit more work done. Can't wait to go back up on Thursday and keep pluggin away.

Got the driver's side door that I bought down to bare metal, you can see the big dent in the rear. Other than that, the door was pretty clean, nothing major.



Welded up all the trim holes and ground them down smooth:



There were a bunch of different holes for the mirror, I welded all those up too because I'll have to drill new holes for these new mirrors I bought. Bullet "Talbot" style mirrors. These feel super solid and I love the look, I'll be painting them black at the end to match everything else:

Love the mirrors, excellent choice.

Mirrors look awesome! Do you have a link for them? Something similar might work well on my Opel.

Just read your build thread and I am amazed with the work you have put into this car. This is probably the coolest 2002 I have seen in a while. Plus, awesome job on the videos, what camera do you use?

I have had that mirror in my watch list for awhile. Thinking of going the same route, nice choice.

Thank you! I use a T2i with Magic Lantern firmware and a few different lenses.

I think they're going to turn out cool. Might not be the most functional, but I think they'll get the job done. These ones have a surprisingly big mirror compared to other ones that I was researching.

Less blabbering abut how they will look and show us what they look like

Thank you! I've been dying to get some work done on it but have been busy with work and other things. I'll be able to get a few days in next week though.

craftmanship is spot on, I'll save this link as a inspiration to my E21.
