Another quick update. I've been trying to get insurance for the car with no luck. Regular insurance will not take it, and classic car insurance requires 10 years driving experience. Unfortunately for me the 10 year mark is this December 17th. I just gotta wrap things up now and throw it in storage till next year. Here are some pics of what I've done recently.

The intake just needs to be wrapped. I don't like the location of the MAF, but it's the only place it will work.




The doors are a huge pain in the ass. The previous owner was converting it into a track car, but I have no idea what he was thinking of doing with this:


I think it's safe to say that the windows won't lower when opening doors, since all the wiring has been cut out. The original door lock switch no longer works for me due to the above, so I got a Jetta window switch and swapped out the rockers. It's a sketchy setup, but at least the doors lock now.
