      Ahhh this thing is so awesome. Can't wait to see what it'll look like with coilovers and staggered wheels.

        Preciate it Josh! It'll take a min for me to get there, but it should be a helluva fun ride when i finish.

                  Yeah, that's how I want it look when I finish. Plus a nasty stagger. But I'm not worried about how pretty it is, until I hit my 1st stage goal of 300hp.

                  The euro spec version was available in all wheel drive. Unfortunately, as usual, the USDM version was only RWD.

                            Im glad this aint the same one from the last big ATL meet we had. That poor Merkur needed help pretty badly.

                              You forgot to add the 5spd Conversion! And the Jetta bumper thing... why have we not done that yet. IT looks good man.
