Pure class.
Is it just me or in the 5th and 6th pictures, is the steering wheel on different sides?

Mercedes stumbled on my build thread here while doing a google search for something unrelated and they did an article on my build! check it out at:

alright, been crazy busy lately, only 13 days till our wedding, here she is put back together getting gased up for our 120 mile round trip test drive to the wedding site, was the longest distance the car has driven in 17 years.

Spent all last night and this morning redoing the brakes, rebuilt the front calipers and put a new master cylinder in as the MC was leaking into the booster and the front caliper was leaking.

I have more images of progess but will post them later. I should still have some time to drop this before the wedding, still have some chrome to put back on and of course the interior needs to be put back in, anyways, heres the pic:

That's my jetta wagon next to you at the sheetz! Loved the car there and more now! Just read your whole build thread! Awesome! I also PM'd you!

Awesome build. How does it ride on chopped springs...not bad I'd imagine since they're linear. Just curious.
