Hello all, I recently picked up my 01 TDI off a member here. The transaction was anything less than easy on my end and the seller was more than helpful.
I drove the car back from Ohio to Chicago. Took about 5 hours and managed 49 mpg.
Got the car home and started figuring out what i wanted to do with it. I could slam it and put some big audi wheels on it and be "hella flush" (whatever that means). I could leave it stock (yea right). Or i could make this some sort of rally styled ride (more my cup of tea).
First was the hood. It had lots of chips and some small rust spots from being exposed. I thought about having it professionally painted but then figured that it would be too expensive and its just my DD. So I settled with some roll on bed liner.
I decided instead of doing the whole hood i would follow the lines. I also did some above the headlights.
This is how it ended. I will get a better picture tomorrow. Didnt realize the sun was blurring the picture that much.
I also planned on debagging the trunk. When i removed the "GOLF" i noticed the car had been in a fender bender and the clear had been painted without removing the lettering... guess its time to bed liner the rear. I was fine with this and it came out to be one of my favorite parts of the car.
Also got some new hatch shocks! made such a difference. No more hitting my head!
Still need to get a new VW emblem.
