Nothing about the record setting rack install?

Too many places to update :lol:

Rack install was about 8hrs total. I'm pretty good at working on my car :lol: :lol:

The rack and pinion changed my car. It's so much more fun to drive!

Starting Nov 10th my 510 will be on display at Lemay Auto Museum in Tacoma, Washington. They're having a "Tuner Exhibit" and mine will be on display until end of March. It's a pretty big honor so if you're in the neighborhood go check it out. The museum is pretty impressive and there's lots of amazing food and beer in downtown Tacoma.

Congrats on the feature in the museum!! I'm sure the ole 510 will get lots of love. It sure has been a long journey!

Car looks amazing and has come a long way since I saw it in person a few years ago.

PM sent! If Josh isn't around any more, does anybody know for sure what those front fenders are, that he cut the wheel arch/flare off of? Maybe VW Rabbit/GTi?

They look like Mk2 VW Rabbit / Golf, to me. I'm sure Josh can confirm.

Excellent, thanks for posting that! Sorry, don't always have time to read thru a full post while at work! This looks like a GREAT way to go, but our customer might want full on custom hand formed metal flares.........we shall see! :shock: 8)
