Hello everyone,
I hope all of you are doing good with what's going on right now. So I figured since a lot of people are working from home, not me, I figured this would be a good time to finally post my graduation. I took delivery of my MK4 in May of 2018 and had it on the road in November. It took a couple of months to navigate the SB-100 law in California but finally became street legal in Feb of 2019. I drove it 4000 miles over the 9 months including a lot of autocrossing before finally deciding to start the paint in November of 2019. I finished painting in Mid January of 2020 and back on the road. I couldn't have done it without all the information found on the forum, a real life saver. I didn't post much as I am not a real fan of being on the computer and would rather be working on planes or cars. So here a are some photos.
All the suspension has been painted base/coat clear coat to match the body

All I have left is to finish polishing the paint and paint the coyote engine covers. Hopefully finish up both items this weekend.

Very Nice & Man I Love The Color!
I truly like your idea of painting the suspension parts to match.

Congratulations. That's a great shade of red. Like the aircraft gauge bezels as well. Enjoy!

Thank you for all the compliments. And I am lucky to live where I do. I wasn't sure what size resolution so kept them small, but am adding higher res photos.
What I am really proud about is the fact I did everything here in my garage, not one part or item was sent out or touched by anyone other than myself.
