:shock: Good God 40 over speed bumps! My lowered baby would never take that. :lol: I think changing over is strictly a matter of how much time and effort you want to put into it.
Great body, bad undercarriage?

Great body, bad undercarriage....yea, I know a few women like that...oh, wait..we're talking about the mk2! 
I would stick with the black one. Body work is so time consuming and such a PITA. The rear control arm can be easily swapped out (well...easier than doing body work). That front piece I'm assuming is also not part of the frame, but the brace which the sway bar mounts to? If so that's also pretty easy. Even if it is part of the frame, given it's location, Removing the rust and sealing it up without worrying about filling in the pits wouldn't be too difficult. I know all too well about body work sucking, as thats what I'm working on right now (just took a break).

LOL the "speed bumps" I'm talking about are actually speed "ramps" they're not the annoying little ones you see in mall parking lots, they're fun to go over. Hey, I'm still 21, I'm allowed to immature once in awhile
Anyway, the body work on the Blupra was a complete botch job, it looks like it had rusted through on the roof over the drivers window and near the sunroof, and they did a real shitty "fiberglass" job, if it can be called that. But at least I know my Blackpras hatch is virtually rust free, and most of the body is ( I've discovered a few hidden spots ) The only thing that irritates me is that the Blupras gas door is perfect, and my Blackpras got an annoying spot :?
