So in an effort to get the air forum more populated i figured i'd post this here..

I had 2 days off, shackedup in g/f's parents garage w/ AC :D
Its NOT done, i didnt recieve my fittings to switch a bunch of stuff up so this was only wiring...
Cant believe i'm going to show you what this looked like before, ugh...
Before:

LMAO, man thats tricky!
Ya i was lucky enough to get to use it instead of my small apartment garage that i can barely open both my doors all the way in, lol.

Fittings came in today, euro rebar is in. Probably test fitting my euro rear bump this weekend :devillook

Just do it all at once. By the time you get the everything mounted and wired up, you'll really wish you could throw the rear bags in at the same time.

this.
Plus when it comes down to prices you wont be spending much more to just do it complete.

Ya it was extremely easy to just let it go, lol...plus i've donelike ~4 installs in the past yr on free weekends for friends so i let my time go else where :o

Whats the status on your car? Is it getting parted or are you repairing it?

Brian Fantana
10-21-2009, 05:26 PM
Both, lol.

I am having Dave rebuild the engine back to tip top shape and then i will be parting out nearly everything...
I already have a car in mind and am approved for it.
Until i get my car back its kind of at a standstill though,
THANKS TO AJ FOR LETTING ME ROCK HIS PASSAT FOR TWO WEEKS!!

We all know whatever you have next will be 100x better

Brian Fantana

Yes, yes it will, lol.

Going to take most of winter/some spring to get it ready for next show season. Have a few ideas for wheel set ups i want to do.


Car's currently got the engine back in just needs to be connected, unfrotunately i managed to shear the tranny bolt off and the metal support that connected it to the dogbone; so he has to extract the bolt as well.

Picked up some long beaches last night for stockers!
