No way. Just haven't got to that yet...

[GOLFBALLS]

More little refinements...

[GOLFBALLS]

...and something a little bit special.

USA spec rear spoiler with built in third brake light. Took so long to find but this is brand new OE!

[tinto]

So good.
That brake light! Awesome.

Details count and that's a very tidy one.

[Andy@VWH]

Looks great, nice work!

[geoff_gti]

So dardy!

Do you use a single key for this car Wade?

Is it a flick knife s3 style or a mk2 key & separate immobiliser?

Yep single key. It's the original key dude. Separate immob.

DOVW pics coming. The car is 90% complete.

Looking so clean! Awesome work mate!

I need to bend your ear over a beer early in the new year Wade.
I've got some plans for my MK2 but haven't got a clue where to begin when it comes to the engineering formalities.
I'd like to do it by the book so it can be comfortably registered and insured.... but also appropriately balanced when it comes to suspension and braking!

Martin's Mk2 madness will need it's own build thread yes I've seen it parked on your front lawn.....
