Nerd's POS
 
I posted this on another site and figured I'd do the same here. What do you guys think? My future thoughts are toward a 66 fastback and I haven't really made up my mind about this car yet. If I keep it, it's getting a full cage, cobra bumper and SVO side skirts.

My cars already gone through a couple major top end overhauls but I thought I'd start a build thread to show the parts.

Bought with 68k miles in 2005

Another new Alarm (The previous owner had to have been a retard. I ended up replacing 80% of the wiring under the dash and through the car.) I can't find any pictures of the new dash/DD deck setup. I'll update them as I find them.

If you're going to rewire your engine harness, smack that B!tch with force.

Another of the car.

After 14 hours, I have finally finished my engine wiring harness. Unfortunately I need to get the car together for tuning and I don't want to risk any more wiring gremlins so the Fuse/Relay distribution box and harness need to wait until the car is running tip top first.

Here's the all new wiring harness. It's a cell phone picture.

I'll see if I still have it, I switched to COP's to take care of an odd low idle miss.

Chris98Gt Nov 18, 2009 04:56 PM

It's no big deal if you can't find any. Did you use the COP bolt holes on the intake to mount the brackets though?

No I mounted them in the center of the intake.

Im starting to think a new set of wheels is in order :P.... jk

Nice transformation!

I've gotta be honest, I really don't like the look of the pre-NewEdge SN95's and I wasnt really digging most of your earlier appearance setups but the way you have it now is lookin mighty fine. Don't evarrrr change it, especially the rims. I really liked the blue intake manifold **** anybody that didn't. Crazy changes to that car.

Unfortunately I liked the looks of your bro's more :p but i'm partial to DSG/New Edges. Is your bro "doughboy"? Isnt he vorteched w/ 10% overdrive? That car looks a lot like a dude on here named "doughboy" or somethin.
