Makes me miss my car. I never should have sold it, because now I am going to be looking for another VW - when I already had one!

I am an idiot, but not a fool. I vow to never sell another VW that I modify, ever again.

Here's my Diesel 5-dr when I brought it home:




I removed the heavy rear bumper and installed the 17" wheels/tires from my old Scirocco:


Both mods allowed me to carry more momentum through turns (since it was so damned slow in the first place).
You know your car is seriously slow when you get passed by an impatient guy in an old Model T.

Stripping the paint:




After waiting forever for coilovers from Tuning Zubehor, the car was lowered at Los' house.
At DATR with the large duckbill spoiler on, which was ripped off while ferrying people back
and forth to their cars through the river at the bottom of the show area/parking lot:


Later, at my old apartment:

The whole reason I got rid of Bill was because I don't need a projrct right now. In a couple of years I'll be able to divert my attention to another basket case, but for right now I'll have to pass.

Check the fuse box, sometimes the fuses can get kinda wonky - mine actually caught on fire (just a little bit, not like Jimmy's Caddy) and melted the fuse box.
