Farewell Toadie ...



Back to the car that started it all for me 15 years ago ...



More to come!

After the initial cleaning ...






Coil overs are on the way. Working out proper wheel spacing at this point to order spacers and run the current wheels for the time being. And of course, the front bumper will be worked over this weekend.

Nice pickup, will be watching this.

Side note:
I wish VW would bring the MK3 Rocco to the US

that car looks gorgeous and mean

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

Painting headlight buckets today. Coil overs arriving Monday and spacers will be ordered soon. Thinking 30mm H&R DRAs for the rear and 15mm in front should do it.



And I'm thinking a "Minty Fresh" theme is in order so this will be a potential accent color ...

Awaiting the morning commute ...



Lights mounted, waiting on new grill and coil overs to arrive. Still deciding on spacers.

It's this crazy "Glitter" effect that Krylon makes. I saw it at the local hardware store and it looks like toothpaste colors to me so I figured it might make a nice accent for emblems, wheels caps and possibly a few other small things if I don't over do it.

BTW, here's a 'shop of the stance I'm working towards ...

Small update ...

Got my new grill and am trying to see if the upper lip is salvageable from prior damage


Now debating a "Minty Fresh" theme or a more sinister approach ...


Then I picked these up in B.C. on Sunday ...
