[jettajeffro]

Ha Ray that sums up how we feel pretty well.

[nick-a-tron]

wow! that's amazing! looks completely different.

are you going to add the roof rack equipment on or around the raised rood section? like try and cover up the extension with the equipment?

[jettajeffro]

We're proud of the high-top. We're putting a full rack on top of the roof. Kn1gh was very creative with his by putting the rack around the top, but ours is even higher than his so we'll just be extremely tall.

i would love to take it around the block....looks awesome so far

[KCGhostbuster]

Beautiful!

[jettajeffro]

We're tempted to have a vehicle following us with the "oversize load" sign.

[Boomerjinks]

[jettajeffro]

That'll work.

[jettajeffro]

Here are the most recent pics of the car after being moved outside. The rear brakes, tires, and suspension are all being replaced and upgraded. The gas tank was found to be damaged. With the repair cost almost equally a new one, a new one was ordered instead.

[EctoTrk]

Any more progress on this beauty? Im getting a little impatient here!!! Seriously though great work so far.

[jettajeffro]

The back brakes and suspension are done. Still waiting for the new gas tank. The "Ghostbusters" back lit sign to go above the front windshield is done as well. We'll have some new pics soon.

[AZspidey]

And the back lit sign for the front is done

[bradboss12]

Like Billy Crystal said as Fernando: "It's better to look good than to feel good, darling." The outside is nice! See, we have a different problem. Our Ecto is partly in my garage (I built all the gizmos and mounted them onto plywood with a foam bottom to protect the roof, and we will zip tie the light bars since they are red, blue, and illegal. Dave's gf Dad's Jeep is the Ecto, but it has had a string of bad luck, and Dave's blue Jeep is in worse shape (and, it's BLUE). We hope to have it for the Comicon at the end of the month and post pics of it. : ) Keep us posted with yours.

[AZspidey]

Oh and did I mention the back lit sign is done haha. Sorry Jeff aparently I cant read

[Ron Daniels]

We demand pictures sir.

[AZspidey]

Hey I would like to see pictures just as much as anyone.

[WhiskeyJoe]

man, you got me hooked like a soap opera, ...............WHATS NEXT??!!!!!!!

[jettajeffro]

After a good break we now have an update on the car's progress. As I may have mentioned previously, the labor on the car is being donated to us by employees of the shop, so work on the car is done when they are between projects. The beautiful sign made by Todd (AZSpidey), has now been installed in the car. All of the chrome trim has been re-installed as well as all of the new replacement blue lenses and bulbs. A passenger side mirror has also been added. The car is looking more and more like an ecto. The engine installation is the next big step.

[DentArthurDent]

Looking damn good. "We're not worthy. We're not worthy"

[EctoTrk]

That looks beautiful guys. Its goona look SICK when the roof rack is installed. Great job

[UltimateGBfan]

Awesome Jetta,just plain awesome.

[Boomerjinks]

June in Arizona already?

[jettajeffro]

Thanks guys. Can't wait to see it with the lights on.

Yeah we missed setting a new record high by one day. Now we're freezing at 99 degrees.

[FaNBoY]

I cant get over how nice that red looks. Maybe it's a firetruck thing. But damn i like it.

[jettajeffro]

The guys went through a couple of different reds. Certainly a big decision. The car is an industrial white, think washing machine, so finding a red that fit well with that was tough.

[Some_Guy]

Looks great! I'm very jealous, haha. Can't wait to see it done.

(Also your update date has the wrong month >.>)

[jettajeffro]

Oh that's what Boomer was talking about. I thought it was joke about our insane weather down here. Like everybody, I'm looking forward to June too much.

[jettajeffro]

Here's the latest pics from the engine installation. The transmission has also been hooked up as well as the starter. Gas tank, radiator, fuel and brake lines and carb are next.
