No hints yet. Only a few know what we are planning. I have to take care of a couple of other customer's projects first. Anyway, I'll be bringing the VR6 home for the weekend so Joey can have one last outing in it before it gets dropped off on Wednesday at the body shop. In the meantime, I'll be working on the bigger brake kit using the Audi TT brakes and I'll shop for rims and tires.

Just an update.....
The VR6 was driven to the body shop one hour ago. The grand scheme of the paint is still a secret at this time. Unfortunately, those who have been informed...well, the color has changed and it will be a one of a kind paint job. Hopefully, my shop will have a good year to be able to cover this 
Here are some before pics.....

nothing new yet. The car is still at the body shop...all the body panels off from what I heard. I'll update once I have something new. In the meantime, I am working on another project that I should keep me occupied for the next few weeks.

Its so sad to hear that my car is all apart at the body shop.... I really miss lighting up the tires at the stop lights!
Since most of you know I LOVE going on crazy road trips.... I was thinking about maybe doing some traveling in the VR-6. I'd only be able to do weekend trips so I could be back home for Dave to go to work....
Keep an eye out for a road trip thread in o/t....
Until then.... the paint will be kept secret until I get my car back..... Sorry guys!
We'll keep ya informed about the time frame as well as we can.
I'm so proud of my husband for being able to pull off this swap.... I didn't have any doubts that he could do it....
I absolutely love my car and can't wait to get it back!!!!!

Cool. I'm glad you like it.
Btw.: if you guys ever feel like travelling further than a day trip, you're always welcome in Monterey, California.
