This car has come a long way, and we finally starting to see some progress.
Mike (duuka), doesn’t have huge plans for the car as of now, but it should be an awesome
GTi when its completed. All of the work is being done at Capital District Truck Center, and
will be done by the show this spring in the mall.
I have worked on a good deal of cars, many of which have been different makes.
Started with honda/acura to subaru to audi/vw. With that being said however, I am
not a professional, or know everything there is to know.
Point being, if you have a recommendation or a “hey, watch for” or
“check x before doing y” please speak up. Any comments or recommendations
will be considered and appreciated. Thanks guys
