Our
intentions with this car were to create a clean example of a MK3
without breaking the bank, while being able to utilize and showcase
as many of our off the shelf parts as possible. While some liberties
were taken and minor and significant modifications were made, we
still feel as though we remained true to our original goals. The
end result speaks for itself .
This
1998 Ginster Yellow Driver's Edition GTI was purchased from a fellow
vwvortex member 40 days prior to the last major show of the year,
H20 International. We set a tight deadline for ourselves planning
to have it ready for our booth at the show. With10 out of the 40
days leading up to the show being dedicated to paint and body we
had our work cut out for us.
After
several late nights and weekends, the majority of the mechanical
work had been handled, and it was time for the body shop to do their
thing. Waiting patiently for it's return we finally received it
back with our deadline fast approaching. The mad dash began to reassemble
the car and have it looking it's best for the show, all while trying
to handle the regular duties that come with with being a vendor
.
