Dance with me at the Prom

Finally prepped my Euro Valance for paint.







This will fill the voids from the tow hooks from the giant american bumpers.



Oh and bottom left my first magazine picture lol
In PVW

Got the bug for a new set of wheels, I'm looking for ideas, thinking about RFs.

[willshaffer]

Clicked for the title, stayed for the build

[99sil-teg]

man this thing is sexy, good job on it

[promking]

Thank you

Walked over to the storage garage.

Shovel snow for 10 mins

Went inside and drank hot chocolate.
Then I started watching Rosanne.

Winter update.

[promking]

Also made a fan shroud for the first time, it's not beautiful but definitely function-able.

I made it out of aluminum, and was my first time working with aluminum sheet metal



Wheels are in California getting chromed, so I figured I'd finally change a few things... Finally installed this gold mount last saturday. This is a terrible job, it's the worst job on a mk1 volkswagen in my opinion it sucks.


These two are going in next.

So I've made a list of things I'm doing while the car sits on jack stands and waits for the wheels.

1) Gold Mounts + Alternator install
2) Fan shrould
3) New Water Pump + Water wetter and low temp thermostat
4) Polished ni copper brake lines
5) Cerakote the brake calipers
6) Regret not shaving the bay


I miss driving her <3 this was June

Fall update.

Still waiting on my wheels to come back from the Chromers.


Pretty sure I've decided to pack it in for 2015.
Start my winter work early sine it's already September. I thought about H2oi, but I don't think I'm going to make it.
Going to be pulling the engine, and shaving this thing to a bare minimum. I've thought about it for a long time. But it's time I've already started pulling it. It's pretty much ready to drop out.


Rain tray
Power Steering
Battery
Coolant Bottle
All going to get deleted, and or hidden.


Already started gold plating more things.
<3 Weber trumpets.





Because I'm never happy I fixed another hood.


I'm also going to be under taking another project in addition to shaving the bay. I'm going to be finally caving to the dark side of air ride. I'm going to start pieceing together parts slowly. I want to do a nice hard line setup for the trunk area with all gold / chrome accents. I have to start reading up and learning about what I need to get etc.

[promking]

triple chromed everything, with 24k gold plated hex caps and hardware.
New Toyos to stretch better then the Nexans.

Am I doing this right?

2016 PVW hopeful

So air happened finally.

Performance series on 3P
I plan on doing hardlines in the trunk.
I have a 440c Vlair compressor on 1/4 lines.

Doing some research now on Air installs. Basically thinking and brain storming on hardline ideas without going to crazy, and also tank options.

Color matched air tank with copper? Or Polished lines?

But finally I started moving on this project again.

Happy to see an update on the thread! A pleasant surprise in my feed!

[promking]

Thank you.
Sorry guys a lot of the pictures are dead.
I'll do my best to try and fix them... but I lost the old hosting.

At work yesterday decided to color match the air tank.

Tossed this in just to see how it would look. I like it, Not sure if I'm going to use Aluminum Hardlines or Copper. I have both for now.

I think a mix of polishing alum and copper for the hardlines would look good with the wheels and scheme you have going on now.

Cant really go wrong either way.

[CDeez5]

Now I'm super jealous. wish my rocco was that nice!

[austin2112]
