I can't wait to see yours - it should be soon, right? I tell ya, once the paint goes on your whole outlook will change.

Thanks! I used rivnuts and button top screws - check out powelli's blog, he has a some good shots of the rivnuts used to hold on the flares.

I thought I'd post a few pics of some progress I made last weekend. The drivers side is complete with all the hardware, trim and glass installed on the door, as well as all the new door and 1/4 window seals and trim. I made it as far as installing the passenger rear 1/4 window and called it a day. I will move onto the passenger door and install the front and rear windshields this weekend.

See we love to see cars when they are done, all the work and money pays off. Also it gives us motivation. Thats the color I was going to paint my tii, even the painter was scared.

Thanks! I was also a bit nervous with golf since it seemed so bright in the can... Even after we painted it I still thought it may be a bit much, now that it's coming together and the trim and glass is installed I am very happy with it.

Way to go Bri. As what Jerry says, drive up to Marin and we can do the Lucas Valley road ride.
