come down to OC i'll show you how to buff that 116 of yours
car update: i'm figuring out some accessory stuff.
busdepot has 7" H4s for $45 a pair. probably going to get those, along with some REAL bright lights. don't want to spend the money on euros, and i think i'm going to not mount the hellas. i'm starting to wnat to keep this more just a really clean stock 240D - as opposed to a dirty rally rat rod like my wagon was
debating on what else to do with the thing to make it nice. remember, i have till march 31 and then the car has to be out of the garage and done. color sanding is something i'm thinking about, but i gotta figure out if its thick enough to do that safely.
the dash has cracks, but i dont want to go pay $300 for a crack-free one. probably just going to try and make a point of dropping by the JY more often in hopes of finding a good dash. i have a friend who has scored 2 amazing ones from ecology in the last year or so.
as far as tires i'm trying to decide between getting a modern tread 195/70R14 or maybe getting something like a 185 hancook like busdepot sells for buses/vanagons

i'm thinking to strip the aluminum wheels and paint them, really dont feel like tracking down a clean set of hubs and i don't ant to slap bundts on it either. i think the steelie look could be pulled off if i do it right....

what do you think about nu-finish? i just clayed my GTI yesterday and that's what i put on it afterwards (by hand). im not a wax connoisseur but it seemed pretty good to me.
