i would like to take the side steps off. i'm getting a spray in liner tomorrow. aside from that, enjoying it. i'll consider some other things next year or the year after.

it's funny. the VW scene, all projects get done in the winter. but you guys do them in the summer?

The only thing I really have planned for it is a black billet grill, and maybe a white lightening line of fire. other than that nothing. I have other plans to spend money on, which will be revealed later.

hey if you need help with the power window wiring i can help. I did that on my truck too. Except i went with b2 doors that already had power windows and locks it worked out pretty nicely and when it got painted it looked even better.

I plan on saving up for a 3" body lift, 33" BFGoodrich M/T's, and a ranger grill conversion (I want to put two lights behind the grill) by July 20th. My buddies all have Audi's, and I'm going to Waterfest (V-Dub/Audi festival) with a flag hangin out the back of the truck that says "ARV (Audi Repair Vehicle)", so I want the truck to be sitting somewhat high. After that I plan on cranking the torsion bar up a few inches, and using the "Add-A-Leaf" method in the rear.
