Pressure washed it a bit and pulled the head. Pistons looked good, not much valve damage - valves are screwed, but I have a good head too - no worries :)

Everyone should own one once in their life. I saw an exaxt copy of the dark cherry tsi on the side of the road with its hazards on today.

fender looks repairable unless you can get it for like $20 then its not worth fixing it

The core support looks fine in the pic's above........the hood is not shut.

Eric,

just put a new/used fender on it! Its not worth messing with that one.

The hood WON'T shut because some stuff is bent down a little bit - I havn't bothered fixing it yet. Used fender from whities = $50, but it's white.

Here's a question to you paint buffs. When the car is wet, it looks badass. When it dries, it looks all faded and shit. do I just need to polish/buff it, or what?

It needs a new clear coat on it!!! You can wax it but it it will go away after a few washes.
yay

Working all day buddy. Wouldn't pay the entry fee if I wasn't racing anyways. I'd end up being the filming bitch.

your guess is as good as mine. waiting, waiting, waiting. my guess is I'll only race half a season by the time its broken in to actually race. I've got other things I'm taking care of as we speak, so it keeps me busy while I wait. i was real antsy for a while but I've come to realize that you don't want to rush things if you want them done right.
