Nice ride Randy! When do we get to meet you and the sled?

I just painted my votex spoiler, but it was not an exact match, so I am going to have it professionaly done later when I actually have the cashish. I bought it from a guy in the springs with a Blue Anthracite B5, so I had to do something with the color for now.

Also, I almost got the same wheels as you, but ended up with mine, which are pretty similar.

Danke!

I plan to be at the GTG on the 18th & 19th with my dollar bills for the titty-bar. :wink: I am looking forward to meeting the rest of the group and have a couple of cold one's.

So I “frosted” my tail lights this past weekend. I do not have any pictures of them yet, but as soon as I do I will post them.

FYI – I decided not to tint them, as I wanted the color to match the car. So I used the tinting process Dub uses, but with primer and clear coat. It does not match perfectly, but I will let it go for a while to decide if I really like it. If I do I will re-do it in the spring for a perfect match.

ColoradoB5 · « **Reply #4 on:** November 18, 2003, 06:27:35 PM »

That sounds pretty cool! You have any pics?

kraut-sled · « **Reply #5 on:** November 18, 2003, 06:33:04 PM »

Now Winston, you are a smart guy, but you could use a little work on your reading skills. :?

I direct your attention to the paragraph one of my previous post. :lol: :lol:

I hope to have some by Friday

ColoradoB5 · « **Reply #6 on:** November 18, 2003, 08:38:21 PM »

Well, I know you didn't have any as of 11:25am, but I was hoping you got out of your slacky pants by now!

kraut-sled · « **Reply #7 on:** November 18, 2003, 08:49:43 PM »

Look here Man! Some of us are not quite so lucky as to have a digital camera at our disposal, so I have to wait for my friend Michael and use his. :twisted:

Now that I think about it - I am going to add it to my Christmas list :idea:

So just keep your pants on :!:

ColoradoB5 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 18, 2003, 08:55:25 PM »

LOL! Yeah, I have a lot of stuff on my Christmas list.

:cry: 8O :x

Randy - I hear rumor you owe us an update.

kraut-sled · « **Reply #15 on:** December 12, 2006, 02:29:36 AM »

Yeah, mmmm, so.......

I am getting ready to throw a K04 and HUGE front mount intercooler in the car. I am also going to relocate the Cat down streem. I think some new wheels are also in order.

But I need the car back from SVE first. :wink:

gragravar · « **Reply #16 on:** December 12, 2006, 02:34:40 AM »

ouch! BTW, glad to hear everyone was OK. I am sure SVE will make it right, then you can make it even better. :wink:

Now Pat is just stuck being my courier to steamboat.

jayryan · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2006, 01:05:23 PM »

Man! Don't tell me you went the way of JayRyan?! It's a good excuse for mods, but not necessarily recommended :lol:

kraut-sled · « **Reply #18 on:** December 12, 2006, 02:31:31 PM »

Sorry for the multipul posts, my computer was in a bad mood lastnight and I was not sure it was being posted.

It was not a bad crash, just bad luck. Nothing worse then rocks hiding in a snowbank. :twisted:

03Indigo · « **Reply #19 on:** December 12, 2006, 04:41:56 PM »

bummer about the accident and glad to hear everyone is OK.....I took care of the extra posts for ya :wink:

SweetVW · « **Reply #20 on:** December 12, 2006, 06:07:47 PM »

Those sneaky bastard rocks! Glad everyone is OK.

kraut-sled · « **Reply #21 on:** December 12, 2006, 08:00:04 PM »

Thanks for the well wishes. I guess my pride is hurt more then anything.

I know SVE will get the car back loking it's best, then I can get to work in the turbo and intercooler. Now if I can just convert to Quattro it will be all good.

kraut-sled · « **Reply #22 on:** March 12, 2013, 08:26:33 PM »

In honor of the sites B-Day I updated my very first post ever......

In addition to with I have done on my car I would also like to note of few things, I now own/poses the following:

1. Ian's original hood - it is hanging on the wall in the shop (as well as a mess of other stuff he never picked up)
2. Jon's W8 Headlights, via Mike's Passat which I sadly parted out in the fall.
3. Mike's seats from the part out.
4. Charles whole car! Resurrected just last week from a broken timing belt (soon to be for sale I hope)
5. 1 Blow up K04 from Andrew's Allroad, soon to be turned into a lamp

I am sure there is more....

- Randy

Wow, sounds like a VAG graveyard.

If you want a contribution from me, you can have those worthless springs that always fall out from underneath the front seats.
