Another old VW but i want a build thread somewhere

[Minty_Fresh]

Great work man. What makes you go through cars so much though?

idk

first car old, land rover discovery, given to me by my dad, had 250k on it, he decided it was to old and unreliable so he co-signed on a loan
2002 1.8t jetta. loved it first real car. that i felt was mine, rear ended wile i was at a dead stop by an illegal mexican (not being racist he really was) doing 60mph. paid off the rest of the loan and bought the...
1980 rabbit diesel, loved it. year later rear ended by a kid that lived up the street on his way to school wile i was sleeping in for a final. used the insurance money to buy
1990 GLI. horrible choice. after the first year it started having a lot of electrical and motor issues. sunk a bunch of money into it and with getting a better job around that time i figured id get a daily.
1982 turbo diesel caddy...... horrible daily. say what you want but the air ride would freeze in the winter and the injection pump was leaking so i sold it
1999.5 golf 2.0. bought it off my friend that works at NGP racing. amazing car i loved it so much wish i kept it but i got a deal i couldn't refuse on the 2000 B5 s4 so i had to sell it.

oh and back to the issues part. after replacing dam near everything on the chassie of the GLI idk i just didn't like it. my heart was not really with the MK2 so when the opportunity came to get a rabbit i took it. plus the MK2 was to clean to do any cutting and welding and do a tear down on like i wanted to. to test my skills and grow. the rabbit is allowing that.

sorry for the novel. no other real way to explain why I've had 7 cars and I'm 21. but all paid for with shitty horrible night jobs. if i was M&D sponsored id say fuck the rabbit and go stage 3 with the audi

nice vws men!

keep the pressure

thanks man.

well on the start is the well known phillyGS but the rest is a bunch of north delaware kids.

[tristinGrind]

Yeah as far as I have seen online (Im on quite a few Datsun forums) or at shows, Im the only one with this color 510... and most seem to enjoy it. I was contemplated getting it painted but then I said F it. Its the main reason I bought this specific car... that and the zero body rust.

Cars are clean man, Ill have to keep popping in here and checking up on things.

[Minty_Fresh]

sooo got my tires mounted, its a bit more crazy then i wanted.





.....ummmm fuck well i think that will work, its holding air right

[fresh.gen]

[justaneffer]

more stretch then I've ever ran. i did the math and it ended up being similar stretch to a 175/50 on a 9. butttt no its fucking crazy more. the truth is I'm a little worried about running them. but no time to swap the lips now. worst case i ruin my lip and barrel. the car will never see a highway on these wheels.

i said the same thing when my buddy sent me the picture of them mounted

Not the worst I have seen... Way more than I personally would run though.

yeaaaaaa that much stretch was not the plan. buttttt I'm going to try it. if not I'm sure i could sell my 2in lips easly for a set of 1.5's

more poke then a perverted priest.

....wut?
