Really makes me wish I still had my old rabbit pickup. Loved that thing. Yours looks dramatically better with the black details. I'm glad to see it is being built as a show type finish rather than the ratty look. not that I hate it, I just like things clean.

thanx dude, i love shiny aswell

well, i decided to start over. i cut the hood and the sunroof open, now i have to scratchbuild an engine bay......
