those ground control coilovers are awesome. i put a set in my buddy's E36 M3 and it handles amazing. GL with your project. once you get the harness in it should be a cakewalk. but i imagine you'll be selling this soon so put me on the waiting list to buy it lol
Sweet looks like a bad ass project ! Dont know much about vw cars but I've seen some pretty sick ones in that body style
Also are you going to keep this one lol ? I always see you picking up something new or selling something

Nice nice. I'll try to see what the deal is with that one I told you about that doesn't move ever. He may be parting it. I'll let you know. The body is mint so you could maybe get re bumpers that aren't faded or somethin.
Lookin good so far though

true that yeah the bumpers arent fading the car is just covered in lime rock and dust. once it is done it will be fully detailed by my buddy and will be looking brand new. and i think i will be keeping this car a long time
