New here, did my fair bit of projects.
In this this i will post the progress of my next project der Kindergartenrenner III for my wife. At this moment it's not quit a build project, more a collecting-for-build thread. And for the folks who think, der Kindergartenrenner III? Was there a part I and II then? Yes there was.
Why Kindergartenrenner?
Because it's the car for the misses, for work and to bring the kids to school. ( she had a load of fast cars in the past before we had kids, but the hunger for hp is still there :lol: )
Project Kindergartenrenner I was a 1993 BMW e30 touring. Bought as standard 318i. Finished project with a m52b28 ( a e46 328i 24v) engine, E36 m3 3.2 complete drivetrain, suspension, brakes. 17 inch breyton splits. etc a real Woody

we sold the car and bought another project:
Project Kindergartenrenner II was a 1996 audi s6 avant 2.2 20v quattro with 6 gears. 230hp stock. Finished the project with a full 3,5 inch steanless steal exhaust wit a wagner rs inlet and exhaust. again with the holset and a few mods giving it more than enough HP. full coiloverset with porsche brakes and porsche 18 inch split wheels.

after:
Perfect familie car, but we decided to sell the car because i got a new skoda Superb combi. Also a giant car and 2 of these giant is a bit to mutch. Also the kids were growing and the kids didn't have lots of garbage to carry around. I gave the wife a choise of here own to choose a car.
She wanted a New Mini. But after a long journey for looking for the right one in Holland and Germany, we let the mini idea float. All the mini's have serious gear trouble and electra.
Good talk with the misses lead to another of here favourite cars. A New Beetle. target was a black1.8 20vt or a 2.0 8v highline.
After looking at a quit a few new beetles, all with high milage, cars with 3 colours black, female cars with damage, we got a perfect NB!
Its a 2.0 8v with 110t KM from dec 2000. Dealer maintance, 1 prefious owner --> a adverticing company.
NO history of damage. Only mod was a 4 tailpipe exhaust
Its a NON highline, so no airco, no electric windows, but all the other options.
Colour is Yellow. Not the targetcolour but fresh and fun.
The wife loves it and the kids find it cool. I find it nice ( a have driven it 4 times now
ops: ) and promiced the wife i would do anything with the new beetle. So here is Project : Kindergartenrenner part III :lol: the collecting of mods
