i see your friends with Roy? I had a b4 wagon on salad shooters. Your right the passat scene is very tight! Me and Roy became friends instantly because passat. I have seen pics of your car before reading this thread. Nice come up. The car looks good. I also saw the craigslist ad for either the car or wheels when they were for sale.

To top it off, we also pulled the A and B pillar trim and seatbelts from a B4 wagon, and came up on some relatively rare bits:

Yeah it all literally happened #becausebags. I knew that I wanted to work with them before I even had the B3, and when I first pulled up to the shop Roy promptly gave me the "who the f*** is that?!" look. Then he found out I was half Japanese and what I wanted to do with her, and it was game on. I owe most of the work and knowledge in this thread to him for sure.

More photos of her sleeping in the shop so I could see where we needed fitment adjustments for the new wheels:

Interior swap day. I don't like anything about the beige interior, and not many people believed we could source the full swap this quickly. Huge thanks to Roy, JR, Al and everyone that helped knock this part out. Long day:





Might have been a good idea to organize this:





25 year old mess:



Family meal:



Black carpet = game changer:





Faded GL cloth door cards actually look dope, so we used them. I think they were originally blue and now they are a light cool grey. I also like the poverty spec plastic handles over the leather GLX handles:





Eliminating automatic belts from my life:
