yeah i love those wheels you have. the white/chrome looks great.I waz stoked when i saw you had em.

[volcomskater77]

for the seats im pretty sure rear coupe seats and center console will fit directly and still give you that bucket seat look. im gonna do a full sc2 seat swap from one at my local yard. i like the black fake leather of mine, but their sx1 thus lacking the comfort and side bolsters of the sx2 seats. what year jetta did you rob those flares off of? subbed for diamond steelies and #beigewatch wagon

[xavierb]

hey thats a good idea foe the back seats ima look into that. sjit maybe ill pull it today who knows. i needa fix this damn interior its shit.

and the fenders came off a later 90s jetta. it was a wolfsburg edition and i think thats why it had them. the VW cabriolets have them too and they should be the same size.

ima get them mocked up today and hopefully find some color match paimt at the parts store. Thanks for the sub man!

thanks for the info, i scooped some 15x8's for cheap and they poke way too much in the front,, even if i had coilovers and some fancy camper plates that dont exist (yet) for our cars. if those flare look the bizniz ill probably pick up a set and slap them on mine. you on 6s?

[xavierb]

im running 16x8 with +12mm offset. they didnt work on front without spacers so i have 1/4in spacers up front so the front pokes a bit. thats why i got the fenders to take care of that poke then ill get some probably 1/2in spacers all the way around.
The fendera from pick n pull are the way to go though

Those are mk2 flares. And I can't believe you had an issue with the front wheels mine were 16x8 +15 and cleared with plenty of room. I did the coupe rear seat swap and they directly swap.

Im going to do that rear seat swap forsure. Im going to mexico for thanksgiving week so wont have much progress. But I plan to go and pull a full interior from a decent looking saturn at my local pick n pull (surprisingly for a small lot it has a huge amount of saturns and theyre constantly being switched out. Ive started detailing my interior and it already looks so much better. Who knew that my interior was a light tan and not closer to a brown lol. That back seat looks so good though compared to the normal bench, plus there arent enough cup holders in the damn thing. Do the back seats still fold down the same?

And the wheel issue I think is due to the shape of the steelies. I will take a photo and show the issue next time I have a wheel off. If you see the wheel youll see why ythe problem occurs.

My living room right now...
Cleaning the original door panel and drilled a hole for the rollie handle. (I have a different fabric on the driverside panel now as the door was pulled off a different car.
And all my detailing supplies, the interior is actually looking a lot better...

weeellll guys, im in Mexico on vacation and I broke my leg. Quite the experience getting surgery in Mexico.
But the worst news is the doctor told me no pressure on it for 8 weeks, so i asked what about pushing a clutch? He said no i couldnt do that either.... Idont knowwhat could be worse than that.... updates will probably be few and far between for awhile. But heres some pics i took in my moms garage with her car sittin in the driveway... and some on my last day of work last week, gota little muddddy


shows how much i need a front lip lol



love my moms CC ... R spec

[AKToyotaluv]

[xavierb]

[RocketSled]

thats not a good idea

[xavierb]

lol ima get a second opinnion from an American docter...im pretty sure once the stitches are out my clutch is light enough ill be able to drive no problem. Its not nearly as much force as walking on it

[DR505]
