Was there more work on your car than you anticipated? Did you find a bucket of wiring worms, find some secret hidden problems…..
Hmm, hard one I think problems are the normal ones for any b5 owner haha.
Would you consider your car done in its current form? Or do you have a list of “to dos” still left?
Absolutely not, so much more to do… waiting for some 3 piece wheels to be made, Interior needs finishing and so much more.
What is the biggest problem you ran into on your build?
Nothing major, touch wood, just b5 maintenance.
If you had to do it again, would you build the same car?
Definitely
What is your favorite part on your car?
Now that’s hard, I think I love it all.
