Definitely lookin' good. Just keep on chuggin! I now know how it is to have multiple projects too and it sure slows things down.

Thanks Chris! Ya is sure does slow things down. Pathfinder, Jetta and an Audi pretty well keep my wallet empty hahaha!

Gonna be a seriously awesome car. Yea, working in the cold makes everything more difficult, especially freezing cold tools!

which then freezes your hands and makes you feel like you have arthritis

Thanks guys!

And yes, workin in the cold makes my hands freakin stiff. When I do work on the Audi in the cold though I make sure the woodstove is on full blast so when I come in side I cook my arse off then go back out, at least that's how I used to do it. Now I just bring "clean" parts inside and work on them...

Absolutely beautiful. Those look like they are modelled after BBS CH's. Great job on the wheel choice Ben. What is the plan for Rubber. Oh, I have a video on youtube, type in my screen name and it should come up. Quicky vid on the back of my GLI with the go pro.
