Some old car that will never be low enough - 2002 content

[hi its me alec]

^ Great idea, old cameras are definitely fun to look at

Really cool idea with the camera.

So just got this shot of my 2002 from my good buddy Matt Magnino that he shot back when we were working on a S3 Mag feature that will be coming out soon!

Looking really good so far!

Nope car isn't lowered yet but these came lol


Also had a shoot come up that will be going on a site soon




Also bought some 8mm plug wires and will be shopping struts soon.

Well I've been slacking (well actually moving) but the 2002 has a new home and now sits in a garage. Replaced my slave cylinder but it has started leaking again just before the temp dropped. Have some black rear door cards coming to me soon since my are blue and then something will be done about the back seat. Also going to be making some custom oh shit handles to break up all the black that is in the car. The Apache's are still sitting in the garage waiting to get redone, along with steelies to use for "winter wheels" even though really they will be sitting in the garage wheels lol.

Also some cool news is that the 2002 made it on Petrolicious under their reader rides which was a total surprise... now to work on getting some struts to get lower... gotta get dem scene points haha

Decided to take apart the back end of my car, needed to correct my lenses since they were pointed in the wrong direction. Also decided to remove the bumper guards and polish it up some.

Nice! I like where this is going.

Not a huge update but picked up an old blaupunkt head unit just for looks since I still have my kicker set up, hopefully tackle the console revamp this winter.



Also ordered two new bumper bolts which were special order so it's still in pieces lol, old car struggles

[99sil-teg]

Decided to build a trunk floor for the 2002, first off was cutting out the back board which was a pain, next up is mocking up the wood flooring and getting that cut.



Since I am still waiting on bolts for my back bumper, I decided to repaint the brackets since I had them off




Also did some trading for a early trunk since mine has the late one with the trunk badge which it shouldn't have plus its straighter than mine.

Can't believe I've missed this thing! Car looks gorgeous from day one, love the steering wheel and wheels. I am actually a really big fan of this car and I've only just seen this!

Keep up the good work man! Looking forward to more of this thing!

Thanks man! I'll be watching yours as well, there are times I wish this one wasn't so legit so I could go crazy on it lol

Things are going slow I know lol, long weekend coming up though and plan on getting a little work done hopefully. Might have some new door panels on the way.

Tonight I laid out the floor and also roughly cut it to fit. After I silicon the wood floor to the backboard I'll trim it up all nice and pretty.... also... cheap wood flooring fits like shit lol

[99sil-teg]

Well didn't have any where to be till later tonight for Thanksgiving so I decided to mess around with a couple things. Still working on the wood floor which is coming along nicely.

Today I cut off the license plate lights and repainted it.



Also had a set of steelies that I repainted and I'll be selling my e21 sport wheels soon in preparation for the Apache V's.



Lastly finally found a raised hood badge for the '02, I'll have to redo it but I'm glad to have found one since the one I have now is smooth and a 2002 should have the old school raised one which were hand painted.
