Matts mk2, its newest phase.

Was going to keep it under wraps until YNP but, eh, whats the point!
1 month ago the car was a stripped and completely primed shell. not even the brake line clips under the car were there. or an ounce of seam sealer. Kevin, T53A gave us a suprise visit, and talked matt into painting the shell, as we were already painting the beetle (more on that soon) so the car is running driving, everything working one month later. All from parts around the shop and friends, and help from friends to get er going.
this car will still evolve between now and well, forever, but more specifically YNP 2011. it only gets better from here
With Yurgen busting out his well bust out ours. Stopped by the junk yard on monday whilst it was snowing. didnt find shit, so we walked the long way out of the yard, and holy crap did we make a find of the century,
1988 Mk2 GTI 16v. big doors small bumpers PERFECT interior. 74,000 miles. wanted to much for the car, but 150 bucks took what we wanted. we didnt nab the motor, as we didnt have room or the cash so hopelly they take it out and warehouse it. didnt get any pics of the donor. but Matts car loved the new gifts!
Dont mind the blurry photos. crappy cam.
matts home-made dual 2.5 inch downpipe, makes the system a full 2.5 inch manifolds back to a flowmaster 40 muff, sounds very R32-like, which is good.
