No tire dressing or polished lip, just bolt 'em up and let the car stand. This was the 1st time I saw these wheels on a mk2. I worked with James Razor on a fitment, where the rear wheels would have mega lip and sit out a tad further than stock mk2 wheels. I also wanted the front wheels to sit in a bit more than the stock wheels. After bolting the wheels up and dropping the car, I realized I got the offset *exactly* where I wanted. Needless to say I was a happy camper.

After many agonizing months of pestering my good friend Greg, we struck up a gentleman's agreement, where he would sell me the black car once he is ready. In June 2002, he decides to let the car go, and I promptly get up there with cash. He will now have to deal with just 1 mk2, his blue car.

The fresh paint needed a good detail to look perfect, and the interior needed a once over. Overall the car was in awesome shape, and my 'to do' list was pretty small. I had a bunch of mods for the car, but I needed to find time to put them on. Now that I had the car, I was in no rush to get it all together. I would take my time and modify it part by part. Here are pics Greg took of car before I bought it, as well as pics of the day I fit my wheels on it.
