    Well last I spoke to him he was close. One thing for sure is my bumper has to go. I can't believe they made such a cool car and then effed it up with a lousy bumper.

    From this car I will have a complete CIS system available soon. It was running good. The new engine came with a carb so I kept it that way. Inquire within

    In my case, the lousy bumpers prevented major damage in two hit and runs. I have hit someone that pulled out and been rear ended.

    I'm not opposed to bumpers they serve a purpose for sure. They nailed the design all over the place but they came up short on the US bumpers aesthetically. The Euro bumpers look fantastic. I might find a set of those. Nice car, love the color!

    Yes John it's the original color. GOLF yellow. It has the original paint on it and it's held up for being an AZ car. It must have spent a lot of time in the garage because it has almost no dings in it and it's never been hit. It was too cool to pass up so It's in my garage now. I swapped it over to carb when I swapped the engine out since it was a runner when the dude sold me the engine. I rebuilt the FE last week and put springs and bilsteins on it with Rota wheels.1a8e+RoHTRqzB4iznj0Wew.jpg
