I got bored tonight and decided to finally tackle the headlight project I have been planning for a couple years now. Funny thing is it took maybe an hour. And I have been putting it off for that long. man I suck.

I have had MK3/Mk4 conversions since like 1999, but a couple of years ago I got a set of balck inners from Benny_Mech when his got broken and he got a new set. So I took the black inners out of them and swapped them out with my chrome ones. I think I really bring the red/black theme together. I didn't have a lot of room to take pics so they are a bit tight, but you get the idea......

These are actual Hella headlight buckets, not "Joey Modded"

Also, this is what happens when you have a remote start on a MANUAL tranny and get stupid. messed up the garage door bigtime and about a grand worth of damage to the car.....(BTW this pics is about 5 years old...)

You have a keg in your garage? Nice!! Thats a good Idea! I get tired of collecting cans in my shop. But I wait till I have a rubbermaid can full and then put it out for the garbage guys. Doesnt take long with tall boyz and pounders! Lights look sick!! I miss my MK3!!!
