That looks awesome! Audioman79's other build on v6p was impressive as well.

Wow, Ike, didn't realize that you were the recipient of Audioman's new install. Impressive!
Very jelly right now.

Thanks guys, I'm really happy with it.
After seeing his last build and how close he was to me, I knew I just had to do it. Definitely top notch work!

Very clean. Nice. What did you lose? About 8" in depth? Not bad.

Actually I only lost 3-4".
No spare tire anymore of course but it wouldn't fit on 2/4 of my wheels anyway, plus that's what I have AAA for!

Here's a trick that I learned from Tim. If a front tire is flat, take one of the rear tires and put it there. Then put the donut on the rear tire.
BOT: it still very clean and I like it.

I never even thought of that. Excellent idea, I might just keep the spare in the trunk after all.

My Volks have taken quite a beating over the years so I decided to completely refinish them. I took them to Ye' Old Wheel Shop to have them checked out and it turns out that three of the four rims were bent. I was going to have them repaint the rims for me, but the price was just too high. After removing as much of the curb marks and other defects as possible myself, I decided to just plasti-dip the rims. It was my first time ever using plasti-dip and I think it turned out pretty good.
5 coats of black
4 coats of purple metalizer on top. The pic was taken on a crappy flip phone in a dark garage with the flash on so the color looks brighter than it really is. It is more of a dark purple with a lot of flake.
I'll put up a better pic when I put the wheels on the car later this week. Still have the center caps to do today (I'm thinking about just keeping them black).

After a couple months of buying parts here and there, I finally have some goodies to install this weekend. The list includes Raybestos LCAs, Skunk2 UCAs, Insane Axles (good up to 500whp supposedly), Moog lower ball joints, and Moog endlinks. I found a mobile mechanic on craigslist willing to do the install for just over $300 which is half the price of the quotes I got from local shops.
She had her timing belt and water pump replaced last week and of course while replacing the cam and crank seals, they found a leak in the oil pump and had to reseal it. Turned a $560 job into a $1060 job.
Three weeks ago I went to put on my freshly plasti-dipped wheels and when tightening the very first lug nut, I heard "RIIIIIIIPPPPPPP" and sure enough, the lug nut ripped the dip right off the wheel. They have been sitting in my garage since and I'm finally going to redo the wheel tonight. This time I'll make sure to dissolve the dip around the lug holes before I mount the wheels. If it rips again, these wheels are going into storage indefinitely. It isn't all bad though since now I can try out the glossifier dip I just got.
