well life happens and couldnt continue the project as i have a family myself to take care of so i sold off everything.....but after all was said and done i was ready to start over and try it again.... found this which was perfect because the car was alpine white already so no color change needed but it was in bad shape...

getting a new front cross member made to fit new motor goin in, hood clearance was an issue so with this the motor will sit lower plus eliminate the front motor mount to make it a solid mount that will not allow movement at all

Nice build, thanks for posting.

Funny that you changed the headlights as I was thinking I don't like your "old" headlights but wasn't going to post that since it's rude.
(Of course I just did - whatever)

Now that you changed them - I like those better. Smile

Awesome build! Your solid engine support/mount is going to cause issues though, there needs to be some sort of vibration/shock damping, without it the vibrations alone can cause metal fatigue in the mount bracket or worse, the sheet metal unibody.

I was lucky enough to have a great relationship with my dad even during his difficult final three years in a VA nursing home. I still dedicate stuff to him.

Before I take a look at the rest of the thread (which actually caught my eye because my first VW was an '86 Jetta), I want to thank you for your service.
