This is going to be interesting to watch. I want to do a Golf also but....in a short asphalt short track configuration.

Sam, Looking forward to following your build. Just one question: Are you planning on trying to use the kit decals, or have you located After Market ones? Joel

Joel, I was going to use the kit decals. I have not looked for any aftermarket ones.

Joel Thanks Joel, They appear to be in great condition. No cracking, and very minor yellowing that looks like it went away with just a few hrs in the sun. I am having difficulty finding reference pics. I have typed in multiple different combinations of words and only seem to find the same two pics. I can get by with the box art for the outside, but a couple interior shots would be nice, and ANY engine shot from a racing GTI would work.

Had a "squirrel" moment, but am back on this. I have the white paint on, and it is my best white yet. I need to get some clear now. I am disappointed with the wheels. Here is the box art of the real car... 20190519_151430 by Sam Grabenhorst, on Flickr Here is the kit wheel, just a stock metal VW wheel. 20190519_151409 by Sam Grabenhorst, on Flickr Do any of you guys know of or might have a set of wheels this size that look more like a racing wheel? Wheels make the car...

Sam, Glad to see that you've got the VW back on the bench and moving forward. Joel
