The shaved 88 Shitaco

[harlerocco]

Heh, no joke! I just saw this car yesterday. Previous owner of my car owns it, and hes a really cool dude.

Fraser is a good dude, haven't seen him since H2O though. His car has been an inspiration for me since I first saw it in 2007 (I think...)

Oh and I may not have any updates soon... my phone decided to not charge anymore so I'll have to go get a new one... that's where all my build pics are coming from (yeah yeah). Also finals and shit is keeping me extremely busy, but that will all be done next week, and hopefully the Shitaco will be back as well.

Just saw a picture of this pop up on the Scirocco forums. Friend of mine owns it but he just got what look to be e75 or e76's and lowered it quite a bit. Definitely loving this look!

Someone got drunk and lit a couch on fire. Normal weekend here.

yooooooooo



My street last night.



Polished a lip.







That's it for now.

[harlerocco]

Stopped by today. Heard much of the work on the shell itself was done. That horrible quarter panel is now straight again. Never thought I'd see the day...



Other side isn't nearly as bad.



They put the unpainted door on so they knew exactly where the filler needed to be worked out to.



Played with the panorama feature on the new phone.



Andddd hit up the junkyard and scored a new dome light. These came out of MkIV's, B5 Passats, and New Beetles. They are the rear map lights for the back seats, but according to a DIY are a direct fit to replace the original Scirocco dome light (which I cracked in half). Grabbed a few extra to sell.



Also the wheel paint from Eastwood came in today. Going to go test it out on some centers.

The content in this thread is very rimmy

So apparently the main guy working on my car is staying late all week to get the body ready to paint first thing next week. We'll see. Heard many false promises before (place was supposed to be done in 2 weeks originally, they've had the car two months).

edit: got a new phone as well. pics will continue to file in. Hopefully the rimzo paint comes in tomorrow.

I spy euro hatch

Yeah picked it up at H2O. Hopefully getting painted and going on the Golf this summer.

I spy euro hatch

[harlerocco]

Picked up a fender and the hatch today and started putting the hatch back together. I wanted to get the hatch glass in tonight but with finals coming up I don't have as much car time as I'd like.



Shit everywhere.



Managed to actually make this work.





Dug into the hatch and got this out. Original vacuum operated hatch actuator w/ the line. Won't be using that anymore.



Extremely rare glass ready to go in. I hope it's as easy to install as it was to remove.



And a surprise.... TDI swap.



Ok not really, it's my roommates. Going in his Alpine white Mk2 Jedduh.
