| That should look really nice. I notice you put all the body panels back before spraying, why? Wouldn't it be better to spray individually so you can get to both sides? |

well for now im gonna put black 8 spokes, but i want to eventually get porsche turbo twist wheels for the car, then im gonna put a sun visor on, some early bumpers, black tint, a turbo t3 engine probably like a 2.1L nothing too big, and i've gotta get the door panels and seat covers in blue and black, its hard to find a good matching blue though, and maybe a decent sound system in it, of course this is gonna cost money and take time, the car will never be done, what vw ever is  Theres too much plans i have to list, but its gonna be a fun car

got alot of work done on the dash, heres what it used to look like
and heres how it looks now
more pics in my gallery, i still have to try and touch it up some but the paint i used on the dash came out pretty good, and you can see how that big rip in the top of the speaker hole was pushed back down, i just gotta try to make the filler smooth out a little more but its a challenge, im also working on a little custom touching for the guages, nothing on the faces just putting the color of the car on the rim between the top and the face

time for some new pics
Finnally got the shoes on her
I'm goin up today to take more picstures and drive the car, my fuel regulator was bad but im brining a new one, and hopefully i will be driving her home soon, the interior panels and seats are at my uncles getting reupholstered so when they get back the car will be looking good inside and out. don't hate me for the wheels, besides they are only temporary, eventually im gonig to put Porsche Turbo Twist wheels on there but i dont have the money right now, and the wheels do match the car since i have tried to keep everythnig in the car blue black and chrome, some of the stuff on the car will get changed though, and hopefully i can order some bumpers for it soon. More pics to come!
