vwfastg60 0 Posted September 23, 2005 ok guys heres the updates.. got a rhd mirror base (Lee you life saver!)Now to figure out how to switch it i have played for like 3 hours and almost broke the mirror...Im taking it to the dealer lol the stereo is 90% done and the final glass work and leather/suade will be done this weekend. The body work is getting to be to much and people are flaking out left and right.I keep getting mad cause i cant make it as perfect as i would like...ITs looking like i will be doing it to the point its perfect by myself...and or with some help from friends. me and a buddie spent almost 10 hours straight gutting the inside of the car and replacing any harness that was melted(old owner had some hack work done and it shorted out the dash harnes) We made the gas tank and trunk lock work with out vacume using all oem parts and wiring with out any vacume.All the vacume has been removed from the car now. The handles are in and work with the windows up down or even 1/2 up with no binding(i hear this is almost un heard of?) i have run all the stereo wires along the firewall and down the kickpannel in the factory clips and you cant even see it with only the dash shell in. i moved the apex-i piggy back to the glovebox along with a boost retad system for nitrous (shhhhh dont tell anyone :)) im putting a pressure gauge and arming switch in the glovebox as well. vw couldnt have done better job hiding and running wires then we did. here are a few new pics i have some more but cant upload them now cause i need some sleep... Thanks guys and always comments are welcome good or bad... Joeyz, thanks but PVW is just a dream I would love to make it but with the quality of work and the cars that are coming out of the woodwork i see my car way down on the list of pvw worthy cars....besides when your cars done i see myself jacking up your car so pvw can take a pic of me licking your clean ass wheel wells lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
