I'm debating about the paint. Knowing me and my desire to keep it subtle I probably will.

I am cloning this car. Minus the front tag. It even has the fender stripes I want.

I am surprised that it still in one piece we also did reverse to drive slams. that thing would lay out some smoke. Oh and cant forget about the used oil on the ground burnouts. Did one of those till the car was overheating.

i used to jump my rabbit up and down this one set of tracks, the car used to fly, but sooner later the uni body started to split from where the axle goes through up to the top of the fender, the pass side of the bumper was almost on the ground. so i jacked it up, re aligned the split and drilled holes through the fender into the uni body, and clamped them down tight, i drove it for a few more months till the police chief saw my car, he had me pulled over, and was told to park it. if they saw it on the road again they would tow it to impound.

rip little rabbit. had so much fun in that car, it used to smoke 1 st gear and second good. took it 4 wheeling, pulled more 4x4's out of mud then you want hear about. also packed around 15 people into it. bodys hanging out the hatch lol

my 77 gmc pick up (2 wheel drive) did some nice roll back burn outs as we called them. it had a 4 speed, and a locking rear. so gas it in reverse, took some time to get it to go into 1 st gear, then floor it and dump it, it used to smoke the tires while still going backwards, then stop and start smoking them forward, when done the burn outs looked like twin figure 8's side by side. if you didnt see it happen you had a perplexed look on your face asking, wtf happened here?

hows that? my first 2 cars were stick. lol how many can say that? i also taught 1/2 the kids in school how to drive stick.

thats one way to get out of class lol

I considered that black in the center and painted on the ends, I don't know yet.

Nothing fiberglass won't fix :/

OOOooooooo shiny!

I caught air in my TSI once.

There is a stretch of road that I always "test" my cars on. I start from a dig and pull through a slight S curve at full throttle until an "Adopt a Highway" sign and let off.

Well the TSI was a lot faster than I had anticipated and I was doing over 100mph (I was used to hitting around 80-85) when I realized there was a slight dip in the road as I was coming out of the last curve and caught air. The car was still pointed as if it were coming out of the curve and as it was in the air started to rotate right. I had to cut the wheel hard to the left so when I landed I didn't rocket off the road.

That was the last time I "tested" the TSI on that section of road.

Lol isn't that how it always works. Wash it then it rains. Way to beat mother nature though! Doesn't happen often lol.

Finished masking off the mirrors for paint now that they're prepped and ready. Hopefully will have bumper ready for paint tomorrow so I can send those over to be painted. Then will send deck lid and fender after the patch is done on the fender.
