The shaved 88 Shitaco

[DUTCHswift]

Also got these 15" 100% real Prima Donnas in the mail straight from Japan. The realest of real. The rarest of rare. Someone buy them.

So you are who Marc was telling me about. Those Prima's are so awesome. I'm also here to put a thorn in your side on doing a build thread for the OZ Turbos... haha

I love this way too much, and following you on IG makes me happy.

Thank you!

Just got a new turn signal stalk, antenna, and cluster bulbs.



Ordered some other stuff too. I can't really remember it all. I get home for Spring Break this weekend and I'm getting a lot done in the coming week. So excited!

The new seats



Just ordered this new steering wheel from Japan. Sorry the pic sucks. All I had to work with. I'll most likely not be using the center pad. I'd been wanting to replace the Benetton wheel for a while now since it didn't match.



Been working on these lately for my mk3. Should be done in about a week

Ordered a new half height hex cap. Mine fell off forever ago and I temporarily replaced it with a flat cap. I generally dislike flat caps. $65 sucked for one RS hex nut but whatever.

Also bought new (to me) seats. A pair of black Corrado leathers in good shape. I currently have a pair in the car but they were originally tan and someone dyed them black in a terrible fashion.

I will be back home in a couple weeks and will get started on the false floor and get the interior done. Hopefully the clutch is sorted, then it should be ready for the show season. I've also been working on some things for my Golf since it's taken quite a beating the past few years sitting outside and driven every day. New wheels, a few painted things, and general maintenance.

Units. yo by the way, those upper mounts aren't maxed, you can move the most inner hex bolts closer to the outer ones, therefore getting more room. Ill text you.

Driver side frame notch started. My frame ate up the hole saw pretty quick though.



Sway bar had to be removed. It sat lower than anything else and would bind the lower it went.



To make up for that missing component I purchased a custom lower stress bar from Matt Rad. He built it for his Scirocco with going low in mind. It bolts to the front control arm bolts and connects in the middle. It should be here this week.

Lol we already have on shitaco with trinidad james in the bay. This one needs to go a different route

Well, i was't quite speaking of gold plating, more so gold paint, but i suppose doing something more creative would be better

Man, you weren't lying when you said that engine didn't look good. Personally i think gold similar to the wheels would look great and create a nice theme for the car.

Looks really nice. Had no idea you were in the Louisville area.

Been also thinking about the bay lately and how I can make it a bit more presentable. Really considering getting some pieces powdercoated. I love how the adjustable top hats look in the bay though.

Love it love it love it

Car looks great! I was driving down eastern parkway right after I saw your post on Louisville Imports or something, and I saw a red Scirroco stall while trying to turn onto a side street and at first I thought it may have been you, then I noticed it wasn't on rs's so I knew it wasn't you lol.
