finish the 8v counterflow head
miata rims

upper grill spoiler
GLI rear trunk lip (maybe)

Treffen….
Cali was entered into the Chicago VW’s Treffen 2005 Car Show… And we came away with an award… Didn’t wash it, although I did take some garbage out of it. Notice the mirror…
TOTALLY highlighting the beer can exhaust. I even polished it up a bit. The can that is.
And the award…
It was a fun time. Next year, hopefully it will be a better car. We’ll see how the winter goes.
New Car
The ad was on craiglist… And the owner took these pics. He asked $400, I offered $325. He agreed. It needs some work… the headliner is sagging, the oil light comes on and buzzes. It need a bumper. It leaks a little water. The headlight sprayer doesn’t work. But overall, it runs fine. The car was given to the wife, and was a california car, hence they named her Cali. The car lived with them in California, then moved to NY with them in like 97 or 98, and now Chicago. Because of the time in California, there is little rust.
Here a couple pics from the seller….
