could work if you have the "round emblem" ... but in me steering wheel .. i have the "chrysler wing" so won't fit the round emblem steeringwheel.

That´s right - the wing-cover might more difficult, but I thought you were speaking about this one

We haven't had any snow yet so he's not permanently sleeping but it will be soon. I have a few little projects planned for over the winter but nothing insane. What all are you doing to the audi? I love the sharpie audi symbol and grille on the painter's paper :rofl:

ok , just to let you guys and girls know:

my neon is for sale ( in holland that is )
so this project won't continue ( i think )

me and my family realy need a bigger car, at least ... more space in the back.
i would love to hold on to the neon, but i need the money from the sale to buy a other car .. so it has to go. ( with pain in my hart that is :( )

this was / is the best car i've ever owned , it has NEVER let me down in the 3 years i've owend it.
and drives like a charm.

thanks for al the great advice from time to time.
and crystal .. THANKS !!! for all you've done !!! thanks to you the usa wasn't as far away from us dutchies as normaly. your great !

i will stick around here if thats ok whit you folks, i love folowing the projects and updates around here.

my next car will maybe be a mopar again ( PT cruiser ) ( have to see if it's big enough .. of stil to smal ) or it wil be something dull like a ford mondeo. ( lot of space .. but zero backbone )

thanks !

same platform indeed ... but larger opening in the back, and with th back seats down, a lot more space.

basicly a neon with a bigger door and an other jacket :D

but will go and look soon ( havent even looked at one yet )
i realy wont a mopar ... but there are few option within my budget ... so wil have to see what works.
