Wow, what a change! I didn't have a chance to stop in on Monday, but I figured that there wouldn't be all that much visual change since Friday with Frank still working on the wiring. 
But today the transformation was remarkable; the main electrical problems are sorted and the car starts and runs properly which allowed Frank to start to button up the interior and trim. The power door lock actuators are in so the door cards went on. The back seat is in along with all the seat belts. 
It's great to see the euro bumpers back on, but best of all is seeing the red Gti trim of the grill...like the ghost of "white" shining through.
The driver's seat had been severely damaged in the accident from the force of the impact of Stefanie's body being thrown hard in opposition to the hit. 
Good thing the seats are so well bolstered and held her in instead of sliding out and hitting the door. Anyway, the guys stripped off the seat fabric and slipped it on the donor seat from "red"...great job! Up next: the dash, cluster, etc...on the interior and on the exterior: spoiler and trunk before it goes back to Laki for a full colour sanding and polish. Lots of dirt and dust on the trim parts from sitting around for the last few months. It will be great for Stefanie and I to spend time detailing it and "bond" with Red.
I better stop in everyday from now on or I'll miss some significant milestones.
