Project Restore :-D
5 Attachment(s)
:eek2: so i bought my second MKIII since i had to sadly sell the one all of you guys were so nice to help me with i know it sucks. But i was just about living in her and had no choice. So it has been almost 2 years or that have passed and i am starting project restore. ^_^ YAY!!! I went with an N/A Hard top for 500$ this time instead of targa top because i kinda grew tired of targa seal replacement and what not and getting the leaky roof syndrome. >_< So i will post pictures and what not of my general progress as time passes. Hopefully i will have the love and support of all my fellow MKIII owners to cheer me on along the way. I and i apologize for any improper punctuation and or capitalization..

ok so the picture of me holding the center piece of the 89+ tail lights is for anyone who has an 86-88 body with the non flush tail lights
the object that looks like this PHP Code:
for the late 85-88 body in order to make that part fit nicely you have to remove two of those lead screws this is how it should look PHP Code:
let me know what you guys think so far ^_^ |

nice project! seems were doing some similar mods to our cars. youve been fitting the 3 piece taillights and ive been removing and refinishing that same prior job, i removed the 3 piece spoiler and filled all the holes (the prior owner molded parts of the spoiler to the body) so i had to fill all those holes too. anyways, i just recently lined up my new bumper, installed the support bracket for it. now i think ill be needing a new intercooler (since it'll be exposed now) ill be painting her a charcoal gray metallic, with black features and carbon fiber thrown in. ill post a few pics.

Way to ruin a good pair of 89+ tails. :(
Did you paint the windows??? Looks good. The only color I like better on a MKIII is gunmetal. |
