Day 2

so headed on into school today and found out there was a day long drug awareness program going on figured that i didn't need to hear it so headed home and figured id try and fix my right back window... got it half ass done gonna need to pick up a new regulator but i got it so it would stay up and i wouldn't have to jam a pen into the weather striping to keep it up. so now were down to 59 1/2 but when i say that i think of other thing that need to get done and the list goes up to a million... well i was at school i sneaked into the shop and snapped a few pics of the rear deck speaker pod think i've been working on hopefully i can get it sanded up and be able to start working out a paint color for it and what id like to do for the car down the road... id like to do flat black but thats been out played so i was thinking a flat green or blue so if anyone is reading this... doubt it... give me your opinion thanks

Rit dying my plactis


Well did the first layer of body filler on my rear deck (pics coming soon). I'm already regretting the style of it to curvy for the euro look i want. well it will have to do for now till i figure something else out or till i sell it =). so got home today started up the stove make some rice and boiled up some water and Rit fabric die and started dunking some of my small interior plastic pieces in it I'm working on doing a all black interior and was really worried about painting all my plastics and having them flake so did a little reasearching and found all the R/C guys doing this to there mini dubs so figured id giver a try... well as you will soon see it was a total sucess:D forgot to take a befor pic with them installed but you can put it together not going to post pics of install yet net till all the pieces are done well take a look... oh ya and same method smoked the lenses for the interior lights...dub

Day 1

well this is my first ever blog and I'm very pessimistic about all this. I'm rebuilding my 98 jetta wolfsburg which is really a great time to me i love designing it and working on it but in all reality its a huge waist of time as the right rear wheel well is rotted to fuck and I'm really squeamish to pull it apart and attempt fixing it. The rust even carries down into the rocker. Well that being said this isn't going to be no Wal-Mart automotive department stick on LED custom or pimp my ride "we put a body kit on your van" thing I'm shooting for a performance VW look with a couple of luxury car features.. and i build killer sound systems so ya this thing will bump....and shake my rust off... so if your out there reading this and you live in the Calgary Alberta area and you are the nicest person in the world and you want to help me fix my rust comment on this and ill forever be in your debt.... and if you like any of my work id be happy to trade it for yours =D well that all for this morning got to go to school. peace and
V Dub
