**UPDATE**

The car did not get done in the one week like I had said before due to me getting sent out on the road for work almost 5 months. Progress was at a stand still the entire time.

However I just recently picked up my engine from Jon at TOPLINE and am starting the assembly on that so I can put it in soon. Also put new seals on all the windows so that when the headliner is done they can install those as well. Then once its running and has all windows in I can drive it to my friends upholstery shop and get the carpet and seats done.

Here are some pics of the progress as of today.
The first few pics I didnt have the new Kamei spoiler on but then you see it found its way on!!

Look's killer so far! Great work. Like the "blacked out" trim.

Its VW factory color JAZZ BLUE. I cant express how happy I am with how the color turned out. Its dark deep blue in decent light (but still bright) and very bright blue in direct sun.

lookin good Brian. Jazz Blue rocks. as info for others, they have used it on the R32's (A4) and i think some GTIs. just a stunning color. i had a Plymouth Grabber Blue bug when i was a kid (circa 1984). a little lighter shade. it is still on the CCC site if you can believe it. expect plenty of attention.

That's so funny. My daughter and I looked at Mk3 Cabrio in Jazz Blue for her and we did an immediate about face without even talking to the owner. That color is killer with the trim and wheels on your 1303.

That is inspiration for my 1302. What kind of wheels are those? 4x130?

No they are actually 4x100 bolt pattern. I have CSP rear drums and Topline disc brakes in that pattern.

Oh, they look great. How hard is that conversion? Obviously the rear drum should be pretty simple.

Hi

That looks great. Is Jazz Blue a solid colour or metallic?
