Default So I caved and bought another B5

Well the transmission blew in my 99(pre) 1.8tqt and in my never ending search for a parts car with a manual transmission to match I found something else I'd rather work on. Say Goodbye to Adriana and hello to Belinda. She is a 2001 1.8tqm. Belinda needs a lot of work too but I figured that I had two options - I can either pull the trans and all needed parts out of her and put them in Adriana. ORRRRRR i can take all the parts that I need off of my car and put them on Belinda and have a newer car.

I need to buy a Drivers side Fender, Axle, and Headlight... Will the bumper from my prefacelift match up? everything else should match perfectly from my Adriana right? If you know anyone with a Post Facelift with these parts for sale let me know!!!!

Yikes man, that looks like some pretty substantial damage. Are you sure the frame is straight?
