Got under the car tonight while it was on a rack. I'm going to list all of my current problems to date.
Steering rack is leaking from the driver side boot
Power steering pump is leaking all over.
Steering column needs to be replaced.
A/C compressor works but there are leaks all over the lines
Oil pan is leaking
E-Brake doesn't hold the cars weight on big hills
Driver side air bag doesn't work
Front brakes grind
Needs front lower control arms
Needs front upper control arm bushings
And the car needs new motor mounts.

At least your are doing it right and fixing things that need to be fixed... before you get boosted...that way you feel more comfortable when the time comes that you have properly fixed the maintenance items....Good luck on the build..
I will be using your parts list when come spring time when I decide to add boost...when you do your turbo conversion...please be sure to take lots of pics

#2 P/S pressure line is leaking
#3 Replace column
#4 P/S leak on the A/C lines i'm sure just clean it up.
#5 Reseal oil pan when we tap the pan oil return line.
#6 E brake needs to be adjusted or you need need E brake shoes.
#7 Why doesn't the airbag work? Airbag light on the Dash? Yes? Did you remove your cluster with the key on ON position ? if Yes , that's why your airbag light stays ON.
It needs to be reset
#8 Replace the front brakes , maybe able resurface the rotors and hang some pads on them.
#9 If your lower ball joint are in great condition just buy the bushing kit and replace the bushings.
#10 same as #9
#11 Buy some 97-98 TT mount and we will replace the broken ones.
In french we say * Tu as du pain sur la planche*

Thought I'd unwind from the pressures of maintenance and overlay the rear taillights with a light tint. I purchased the film from Lamin-x and installed them this morning. I think they came out nice. My rear plate has a tinted plastic overlay as well. Everything is very light. I did my front headlights, highs, and fogs last year which still look great.

Right Tint overlay -->
Headlights for reference

It was easier to remove the head lights and fogs for the install on the fronts. The templates were a perfect shape, but I found it easier to remove them and install on my work bench.

Wow. You can hardly tell its the same lip your having trouble with. However haven't yet seen any close ups of the area.
But it looks good in these pictures anyway.

Thanks...I own one...I bought it in the first GB that they sold in. I have not installed or painted it yet. I will have the paint and body guys paint and install it professionally.
Thanks,
Ryan
