You seem to be pretty good at this model restoring thing. I'm sure this one will turn out great. Good luck. :D Keep us updated.

Looks like you do a good job at this stuff. Well best of luck to you on finishing this model. :)

I know this will be worth the wait!:)

Nice, are you going to put any mods on it or keep it stock?

I bet it will look just like the one in your sig. ;) :p

And I love the wheels of 19"! :eek: Keep it up!!

Hi,
It's the same GOLF GTI that you could see on the small pics (sig) but it's an other one and instead of build as a civil car custom, i decided to build without front and rear bumper....
Some new pics...
