So, last weekend I made a 430 mile round trip journey to St. Peter, MN to pick up some free Mk3 parts. The drive was nice, the weather was a bit chilly and a I had a great burger and fries for lunch from a local restaurant called Ruttles. Below are a couple photos.
Mk3s are [...]

Now that I have my car all put back together (complete with Euro Vento bumper), I’m looking towards the future and what to do next. Here are some ideas in a photochop:
