Nice 2002! Surely it needs some work, but it will be great to have another clean/restored '02 on the road. I kinda like that bumperless-rear look... Pull off the front bumper to match! :)

Hehe i got a long way to go! Ya the bumperless rear look does look good we did that in our shop car 2002. We actually welded a bracket to even it out and bondoed/gorilla haired it and it looks cleannnn. But its gonna go on the road so i the bumper i got had the shock absorbers drilled so i can push it in as far as i want so it should look good when finished.

But seriously, glad another one is being brought back to life. Good luck on the project.

Dude i just realized my car is a 5spd! The new engine w/ the tranny is a 5spd i shifted to 5th cause i thought i was driving my GTI and i guess the former owner who installed the newer engine put a 5spd on!
