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 * * * **_VW MKIII GTI / VR6_** Not everything is complete, but this is the plan. Pics will do the job of updating as progress is made. **Chassis** - Full respray in Mercury Silver (DB9 007), some shaving - Widened/flared fenders (front and rear) to accommodate wheels - Entire subframe removed / coated - MKIV Dashboard / Cluster - Solid roof panel (no sunroof) - Leather interior / matched doorcards / headliner (suede or alcantara) **Suspension** - Adjustable coilovers - Energy bushings everywhere - All pieces cleaned / coated / painted - Energy bushings everywhere - New balljoints - New Tie Rod ends - New bushings / poly all around - New Strut Mount - New upper rear shock mount **Engine** - 100% Stock OBDI VR6 - Aftermarket Header w/ Bosal Catback Exhaust - Clutch kit w/flywheel - Custom intake w/filter - New Pistons (stock comp) - Main bearings - Thrust bearings - Rod bearings - Metal Headgasket - Head Bolts - Front Crank Seal - Rear Crank Seal - All gaskets / seals ---
