    Hi from Eastern WA state

    Hi all,

    New here to the forum. Reppin' Eastern WA. I've got a FFR Mk3 I purchased "built-ish" in spring 2020. This exact car in its original state was actually in my wedding in 2010. I deconstructed and went to work shortly after. Only engine work I had to do was w the serpentine system and water pump. Now I have heat/sound deadener, CARPET!, floor mats, a nice padded diamond-stitch console, and door dressings. I went with gulfstream aqua with a subtle (haha!) Terlingua theme. Did everything myself including all the body work which of course became so much more involved than I ever thought it could. There were certainly days I wanted to give up and just cry. Now 2 years later, all I need is to remount the fuel tank and install new headlights this week when they get here!

    2020:

    Anyway, thanks for looking and I love everyone's content on here. It was invaluable throughout this process.

    Thabks everyone!

    It is a 2007 build mk3
    302
    Tremec 5sp
    Holley Sniper EFI
    Kirkey high backs

    The car was originally built in 07-09 by a family member. Car was in our wedding in 2010 at least in running form. Zero body work was done and no fitment was done- it was just painted a champagne pearl with blue stripes. Over the years it was stolen, pawned, recovered, vandalized and stripped and left in that state until I bought it in 2020. Now it has a new beautiful life and I love it.

    The car looks fantastic! I wouldn’t mind seeing it in person and talking to you about your painting experience. I live in Spokane, how about you?
