MY RELIGION IS THE SMALL BLOCK V8 AND COMMANDMENTS ONE THROUGH TEN ARE NEVER LIFT.

Hi I'm scuz and I'm trying my level hardest to make a base model Golf into as big of a project as the W8 Passat I was cruelly denied by the intervention of my loving parents.

This is gonna be good!

Out of curiosity, do things like livery templates exist? I need to get an idea down on paper before I forget.

Spoilers: 8-bit ghost flames :getin:

edit: never mind all that, I found an outline of the body and put pencil to paper for the first time in 12 years.



The plan will be to create a small square stencil and use that to create the flames to keep that 8-bit look.

Thought about it for a while and the flames thing is a bit... dopey. Alternative paint job is in the works in my brain. Bought a replacement bolt from the hardware store, exact length and threads and width and whatever but it would not thread in to the LCA. Probably because the OE bolt had a ~1/4" on its tip that was unthreaded and this one does not have that. Oh well, haven't noticed any weird steering quirks under normal driving, anyway.

Swap the running gear from the Golf into that bad boy and bing, bang, boom, never look for a new car again.

Except for that "no title" business. Even for $100, I wouldn't get it if there wasn't $100 of parts I could strip off of it, since you can't register it.
