I just finished watching all of your restoration videos on the car. I had a Golf that I bought new in 2001 with that same engine. It was a tank! I sold it with 400K miles on it - still ran like a watch. My only question is, did you not do the timing belt, tensioner, and water pump? That's the most important part of maintenance for these cars - if the belt breaks it destroys the engine. If it didn't need it, cool, just wondering if you'd done it. Cool car!
I k NJ ow it's been a while since you did this but can I ask you the name of the gray color or the code on the spray can you used to paint the wheels? Please

Looking good man!
Great. I used a deck of cards pushed in the bead and sprayed away. Saves on tape ... just moved the cards to the next wheel.
