hello, new member from nj--here is my 92 gti build thread
 

hello evreyone im new to the forum from newark nj. im also a memeber of vwvortex and other forums... here i have my 92 gti that i currently been working on for the past 2 months. i had been searching for a clean mk2 gti for over 2 years and 2 months ago decided to hunt till i find one. i picked this clean one up with 99% no rust and a bad motor and started to work on her immediately. my plans for her are to do a full 1.8t swap, mk4 dash swap (already competed) and lots more. the interior i plan to do a 2 tone red & blk in alcantra. the latest things i have picked up are recaro trophie seats, audi a4 rear doors so i can cut the door handles for mine, g60 flares. yesterday i sent out all my moldings, skirts, front and rear bumpers and the g60 flares to get the textured remanufactured. the dash swap i completed my self and i started to smooth out my engine bay but stoped and decided to let the body shop finish it up. this week i will undercoat the bottom and the car goes out to the body shop, i will keep the thread updated with pictures of the new parts and process on the car. i hope evreyone enjoys the thread.

this is when i first purchased her









this was earlier this week when i started to break her down

removing the old drivetrain and taking the steering colum off...the front end will get powder coated black















today 7-19-09--working on the engine bay..getting it preped for a nice and clean shaved bay...













also today 7-9-09 i purchased the mk4 dash and support ;o)















i took some pictures of inside the shop and some of the other cars i have in there.... my 01 ford lightning with a bad motor, i will replace soon..93 vw cabrio that will be up for sale once i get her detailed..my 73 super beetle runs/drives great that will mostlikely be my next project ;o)
