I picked up this 93 GPW with 80k miles on it somewhere around March. It came with some SSR GT10 rims, re-upholstered interior (steering column trim, glove box, arm rest / cupholder, seats, and door sill covers. Interior made me feel uneasy but that's something I'll address sometime in the future. It also came with a painted white roof (perfect for me), but also came with a lousy sound system enclosure in the trunk that looked like something out of Fast and Furious.

Note: -I had a scary experience cutting my fenders to put on the sidemarkers as it was my first time but I did a great job on them. I got the measurements from another member on here.
-The engine and trunk struts were blown when I got them so I would always hit my head.
-The gas lid was missing the spring clip so I had to manually open it by pushing in on the lid to pop it out.
-The 3m clear tint cost me a pretty penny but it was worth it.

Very nice Mk, you've made all the right changes to it, I'd opt for deleting the tow hook myself but definitely a clean ride. You and hatchieg have similar cars at the moment, interested to see how they both evolve over time.
 
Thanks! I have a spare tow hook cover just in case if I ever want to switch it out. :)
 
Car looks great! The interior isn't that bad actually. Looking forward to future updates.
