My latest project. I picked it up in Riverton, WY while up in the area visiting the wife's family. It hasn't ran in a few years, but it's pretty dang solid. I'll try to get some more pictures up. Once I finish this shift rotation I'll have a little time to mess with it. Thought I would share with y'all.

Loving this GTI! I always wanted one when I was younger. Ended up getting a 1995 a few years back and sold it to focus more on the Beetle. Man, I miss it! I have something for it that you may be interested in! You can check it out Friday when you come over.

Made a few updates. Round grill, headlights, and radiator core support. New Euro tails. I've been cleaning the heck out of the interior too. I have a set of coilovers ready to go on. I've also got my eyes on some wheels 8-)
