MK3 build thread!

[confuseddubber]

Rdrunrr- I would love to, but. I only have a part time job, which is very part time. So money is in short supply

Weeds- Well maybe i could work my parents into a vacation/engine buy trip hahaha

I got payed yesterday, so i ordered myself a vr6 front spoiler and leather shift boot! ( i know, big spender )

Ps. I got n interview at home hardwear this after noon for a full time position for the summer! wish me luck.

Well, home sick with a sinus infection But gives me time to get some things done.
Decided to debadge the hatch


And my terrible looking engine bay. (note- the sketchy intake was not my doing...)


I also got the new plugs, wires, rotor, and cap, fuel filter, and oil filter fitted!

[confuseddubber]

Well, not sure if anyone cares but, im having fun haha
So my wondeful dash the previous owner decided to paint


Took all the little bits and things off


worked in the fender some, still needs a few bends and tweaks


Anywhoo,
So what should i have the body sanded to (what grit) before i shoot primer?
Also, i decided to just go with white paint, i find it looks so clean. but what should i do with the rubber rub strips? leave black or paint them white? Also any thoughts on dash bits? back to black, or maybe carry the white into the interior a little?

Imput please!

black dash parts for sure man, should de-rear wiper it and flare those guards out a bit whilst its not painted

[Defaultuser0520]

Personally I think you should keep the dash black, Im not a fan of coloured dashes myself.

Black is the way bro !! i'll be watching this tread ! love the mk3 when it's rebuilt !

[confuseddubber]

Yeah i think black is what im doing, gonna go pick some black paint up once the mother gets home.

Glynn- i would like to, but with all the dust in the summer and all the snow in the winter, it would be brutal haha

Ps. Get my full license in 7 days! yayy no more driving wiht the parents lol

Paint colour = VW Dark Wood. Keep it in the family with this NICE pearl paint!

[confuseddubber]

So disapointed about that.

Got my dash painted and back together, pleased with how it turned out.


Also got the first coat of primer on, had to do some touch ups lol


you can kinda see that i also did the grill black, looks good i reckon.

feedback?
