Getting there!

Finally got the fronts on, after more work than I care to admit. When I get home next weekend, I'll be finally getting the rears mounted as well, and I'll get quality pictures then. As for the wheels that are on it (the ones you can see in the rear), they will be for sale shortly but I am not taking any dibs or anything like that yet. On the search now for coilovers, and will be painting the grill black when I get home, and removing the tint.

After that, the car will probably just sit as is for a good while. Then, most of my time and money will be going to getting my Passat running and pretty.

honestly after looking at that picture I'm strongly considering it. The only thing keeping me from it are my two stickers on the car, both on the back window. One is orange and matches the sidemarkers, the other is red and matches the tailights

I'm still considering doing it though
