Been working on the exhaust... Mig welding it for now, but I will run over it with the tig to flatten out the welds and make it look prettier. I am going for Dart Izumi (see google images) style exhaust on this... Continue with the budget build, two glasspacks were selected. This is my first time doing this and I hate it lol...

any updates? I cant believe you got it to fire up first try both times. I cant change my antifreeze without having to troubleshoot something after.

the gauges all working?

nice build.

Sick build man. Good to see life brought back to beat up mkIII's. I've owned a few of them, and I'll always have a soft spot for them over any other car. Keep us posted!

Haha totally forgot about it here.

I have started version 2 of the build. I only have it on TR for now, but here is a link to the build.
