Default Muhhh Hahahaha, Eats alive! EATS AHLIVE!

Ok people, I've been playing for VW's for a long time, I love the fact that they are like little legos and you can swap parts and score rare parts and on and on.... So, ok, Yay! I got a super good looking GS300 to mess with now. Come to find out, crap! There aren't many parts out there to be had, to make things worse you can't really "experiment" with a rolling computer. Can't find any in the junk yard worth a dollar and the forums are riddled with people waiting for someone to try something before they do.

Behold, My concept:





This is what I want to build, I'm not PShop guru so give me a break.
In the works:
Custom Fiberglass subwoofer enclosure
LED Highlights (AUDI STYLE)
Some kind of stereo
20" maybe 21's... who knows.
Coilovers
Penny Bronze interior (Match my tint), and dash, oh yeah doors too
LED interior

Feedback would be appreciated, support would be most helpful...
Oh, of course, this is a budget build...

Clear those headlights. Looks to be nice, black rims that big would look great also

The only "90's" about the first gen are the headlights. The stlying cues are carried over to several other Japanese models.

That's actually not my car, I didn't have one so I google'd one. The original had no wheels, tint, turn signals, drop.... blah blah blah who cares.
I just want to restore the damn thing. I'll post my pic up soon.

come on kasey, lol, have a look at the car, the rims are up under the fender, IE rendering it un-turnable, therefore undriveable,

it's a total photoshopped picture

I've seen several MBenz's with a fender tuck. Obviously gotta baby the car every minute. The headlight swap will be the hardest part.
