Put in some more work on Sunday. We got around to welding in the plates for the floor. Not the prettiest welds, but functional and will be coated with seam sealer. Then I have to finish the undercoat.






I also had the chance to start on my motor. It should be looking pretty and back together here very soon. I just need some gaskets and miscellaneous hardware.





But here is the good news....it is done! Just needs some wetsanding and a good buff.

I promise that is LB6T. Some of the lights in the shop went out. So disregard the poor lighting and blurriness. I will definitely post more soon.







Oh and my gf's car is 99% done too. It just needs a few final touches.

Makes me miss my mk3. So excited to see the finished bay. Do you plan to do a super extensive shave or keep it comfortable?

Well pretty much all of the holes in the bay have been shaved as you can see. I only kept heat. Or are you talking about the tuck?

Thank you very much. The bay should be sprayed in the next day or two. Then starting on the body work.

Pretty much all of the glaze work is done. Just a few tiny spots need touched up. Here are some pics in primer.











We went ahead and bolted the firewall in too. Sealing it was a complete pain in the ass. Still some work to do on that. We also decided to lay a thin coat of color down for shits and giggles.

I came in here expecting to laugh at a donk MKIII, but ended up staying for the VR6 and shaved bay.

Thanks for the intetrest.

Very nice work and progress, to bad you went with those boring wheels.

Thank you and sorry you feel that way.

The factory teal with the white BBS was classic. I was disappointed when you dropped in another 2.slow, but then you came to my rescue! Good work.

No way in hell I was keeping an ABA.

Very clean mk3 , white bbs look stunning with the teal,

A friend has the same color as yours and is building a vr6 in it atm. Still convincing him to clean his bay and this will help.

good luck with the build, looks good

I don't blame him if he doesn't. Bay shaves aren't that fun lol. The outcome is worth it though. Thank you for the kind words!

Did a little frame notch and broke a drill in the process. Looks good though.





I started painting some of the swap parts. I cleaned up and painted the subframe too, but forgot to take a picture. I will snag some more this weekend.



I am not looking forward to this.



Down to the finishing touches on the bay. Just finding all of the little imperfections and adding some glaze here and there.
