This is a cool thing to do and everything But...

I'm going to point out a few things that MAY discourage you but would be good to consider.

You notice his GTI is cleane don BOTH sides right? (I assume) He is going to repaint both sides to make sure both sides are sealed from rust.

But anyways This is a very tideous job todo.
-Strip Sound dampning
-Strip Seam sealer
-Clean surfaces
-weld
-clean surfaces againt
-seal

And i also look at it this way. Is taking 40+hours of my time to do this going to equate to at least 40hrs of track time? No. So i'm not even going to bother. Hell I think my first car MAY have hit 20hrs of track time total this season. And I totaled it.
