I stopped at my mechanic, Paul’s, shop today and my head was back from the machine shop and mostly back together. This is now going to be about three weeks to get my car back up and running. He says that there should not be much longer to get it back, about two more days. Makes me happy. Now I also have a few things to mount on my car when I get it. The German license plate, a few stickers, and the finished engine covers. I also want to remove the dampener on the hood because most of it is falling into the engine and I am not taking any chances anymore.

About the German plate. Today I actually saw two VW’s with them mounted. A grey MK V Rabbit and a black MK VI. Lucky for them, I think one of them actually had the registration sticker on it. Mine was all ripped off and I ended up removing the rest of it. Next I would like smoked taillights and maybe even a euro trunk lid so I can even mount a rear license plate and have a matching set. The trunk will probably never happen but it is a wish.
