Whatsup everyone my names steve and Ive been into the whole vw scene for a few years now.

My first car was a jetta which was totaled.

Then I came across a four door golf that I really liked.

It was my first car that I actually got to work on and I learned ALOT.

Eventually I passed it onto my bro and now im working with this.

Sadly enough ive had nothing but bad luck with the thing. This past summer I destroyed my subframe because of some manhold sticking out of the road :mad Then in december one of my timing chains snapped and left me with this

Finally after months of waiting im getting this thing back together...It should be done tomorrow and Im beyond excited! I was origionally planning on selling it because I really want an R32 but I like not having to make car payments.

Plans for the future include some bodywork and some new wheels!

Post some more pictures!

You should just bite the bullet and buy a R32.

You only live once.

Either way, in for progress. :D

As for me biting the bullet with the r32 I most likely will once I find one! Ive been on the hunt for a few months now and since I just got a full time position at my job theres nothing really holding me back!

Well, there is only so many things that can break on a car, lol.
