I have to post a "me too" here also. The MK1 he did was beyond almost anyone
on this list's skill set. How many people here have dual engined AWD cars
here?! So what if you think its ugly, I think MK1s are ugly to start with
but you don't hear me bashing peoples cars here. I do it to their face,
Andre I think your car is a ugly POS. And how many people here have
convertible MK2s not done in a limited production by some design house? So
what if its purple, I think Mars Red MK2s are ugly. Hell I think allot of
Sciroccos are ugly, but in the famous words or Bradley Peet "there is no
accounting for taste". I even hate MK2 euro lights and only bought them
because they were 25 bucks for me (cheaper than upgrading my sealed beams).
Truth be known, these two cars would probably beat most peoples on this
lists any given day at a car show, alot of non-bolt-on time went into each.
If you choose not to give credit where credit is due fine, post it to the
list and Ill sick Van Vuren on your ass hehe. Much love, need another beer,
YMMV.

I think some of you are out of line when "commenting" on these cars.  Sure,
everybody is entitled to their opinion, but also try to think about all the
hard work and money that was spent on these projects.  I bet 95% of the
members on this list don't have what it takes to build a truly custom car -
they just bolt on the latest goody from Neuspeed or Autotech and think
they've created something unique.

While I don't personally agree with the color choices, I can appreciate the
engineering and just plain hard work that went into mating a Mk1 Scirocco, a
Rabbit pickup, and a Vanagon...  not to mention synchronizing engine speeds,
etc.  And how about creating the rear decklid on the Mk2 Convertible?  Or
the top support bows, pivot points, windshield latches, etc?  Reinforcing
the chassis?  None are easy projects

The guy gets a thumbs up from me...   paint 'em one solid "normal" color and
you get two thumbs up

John

lotsa stuff
