It was taken by the guy who bought the car there and imported it to the USA

The engine is being shipped to me for a swap :)

Thank you! As good it looks it was maintained as well! 80k miles with a full maintenance book! A great find for me.. And it is a 8p box with the slim starter as well..

For the arrival it is supposed to be by the end of November.. And I can't wait

It was imported last year! I want more power and the afh fits the bill nicely!

Mark is great! He is so much help with this! I can't thank him enough.

I'm just glad to be alive and well right now as hurricane sandy did a lot of damage around me! My electricity and Internet just came back after at least 20 hours out!

We are fine now as it passed! But scary for sure!

This build is cool because of where it is most definitely. All the talk over the interior, you can have you seats and door cards looking how you want, you just need to have some one put a material of your choice onto it. I'm looking about for a pattern i like currently and my women is going to put it on for me, the carpet in this bready is really nice, I've decided to not have my custom carpet black, and will now be another colour , maybe cream. must say i really like breadys now !

Thank you for the comments! It's on point on the car! He big plus on this is that the interior is really mint and was very well cared for! The original owner was very good at maintaining it!

What do you guys think?

Too big. Personally I think 15s are pushing it. You'd need to go pretty low with some low-pro tyres to pull it off. I have only seen one MK2 on 15s that has pulled it off (Kats red breadvan). Most others have struggled to get the stance nailed

I will do low profile for sure! And I'm thinking air ride as well

I love them wheels as long as you drop the height they will look awesome
