Wasn't really sure where else to put this, so I figured I'd put this here. Corrado looked great man, managed to snag this one on the strip. IMG_7871 by Philip Ouweleen, on Flickr

A few days after I got home from Helen I finally got myself to buy another car so the mk3 can not be driven everyday. Driving a RHD car in the US everyday gets really old fast and I **** that I could never keep the car clean. I picked up a single owner 2004 Jetta Wagon, Reflex Silver, 5 speed, 2.0 engine and black leather interior. Loving the car so far and love leaving the mk3 in the garage.

Onto the MK3...
Monday I got up early since Jess had to go into work for a bit. So I went out to the garage and thought it would be a good idea clean up the bay more. I want to move the engine harness routing from editing on the passenger side and make it exit on the drivers side since the master cylinder allows you to hide wires a bit more. After a few hours of de-looming, playing with the harness and routing wires I got it all done. This is just to clean up the bay until I can really pull the harness and really clean it up and simplify it, I still want to drive the car this summer so that will happen mid October. Next on the list is removing the power steering system, removing the coolant bubble, re-routing the main power wire, slim fan, custom intake and do something about the header.

So i picked up a 5 speed 2.0 mk4 jetta wagon to daily drive now. So now the mk3 can stay in the garage more and allow me really work on it with out stressing about have it back to together to drive the next day.

Got home from SOWO yesterday evening. Jess and I had a great time with everyone.
I finally got my OEM Hella Single chamber headlights with rheostats Thanks to Jamie at Orchid Euro. Next step is to find everything to get the rheostats working. Also picking up a daily this week so the mk3 can go back to being a true project.

Have you picked up the single chamber lights yet? I actually think they will suit this thing down to the ground! ....Which with the ride height isn't too far to go... But I'm trying to compliment it... I'll stop. No homo.

Not yet. Maybe this weekend if Jamie brings them with him for the OE booth. But I agree I think it will bring it all together with the single chambers.

damn dude that rear fitment is beyond perfect now.

it does look better with less camber

another nice mod Kole

Thanks guys. I'm a lot happier with the wheels and fitment now. May have been a lot of work but it was worth it.

In other news, I'm dying to leave for sowo already!! Can it be Thursday already?

I also forgot to add there is -.5 camber on both rear wheels and -2 on the fronts. It's funny that it almost looks postive after running -4 for a few months but the car feels so much better with the custom beam in.
