You've done an amazing job in such a short time.
Stay the course. This is one of my favorite builds ever, garage built at that.
So let's here who has one of these cars or is building one. I know of Brian Hyerstay, Michelle Costa, Ron Wozniak, vwove, Chad B (revmaster), Scott Pocaro ( don't know if he'll be in G/D trim or cares to be), and Me.
Any others I'm forgetting? There is an older car that runs here on the East Coast that looks like it might have been at one point too.
There is also a car under construction that will definately run well when it's finished.
my vw friend jeppe who helped me whit parts has a new one he maybe will race this yer and there is his old car some were in north of Sweden,in finland there is one who raced 3 years ago this is the ones in Scandinavia a now about

I've been curious as to how his car was coming. Haven't seen or heard anything about it since he bought it from me 3 1/2 years ago.

Encourage him to get on her and post up a build thread!
