So I finally got my beater project that I've been claiming to get for the last year or so. :lol: I wanted to wait until I found a really decent car to begin with, and being only the second owner, I pretty sure my waiting has paid off.
I bought this car off of an older lady (I know...I know, that's how they all start :rolleyes: ) and according to her it's been sitting in a side yard carport for the last 5 or 6 years. The best $700 dollars I've ever spent. The car has a new clutch, and has come with a clean smog and title. Check it out yo! As soon as I got it home I removed the stock park bench bumpers front and rear, which actually was a greater task then it seems. The damn bolts holding the bumpers on were rusted & fused with the frame rail. I also stripped the passenger side mirror, both wipers, the antenna, the fugly side repeaters in the rear, the moldy headliner, the hatch cover, and the nasty rear hatch carpeting. (IMG:http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n297/sleepydub/socalr07102.jpg) The dash and all of the interior pieces are all in pretty damn good shape. (IMG:http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n297/sleepydub/socalr07105.jpg) OG mileage!! Well that's what the odometer stopped at. :lol: (IMG:http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n297/sleepydub/socalr07111.jpg) Instructions on how to use 25 year old equipment... :lol: (IMG:http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n297/sleepydub/socalr07107.jpg) WTF!?!?! Of course old people keep the receipts! (IMG:http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n297/sleepydub/socalr07108.jpg) Still strong, and with a new clutch, I'll be set until I decide to swap something else into it. :evil_devil: (IMG:http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n297/sleepydub/socalr07106.jpg) (IMG:http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n297/sleepydub/socalr07109.jpg) Already got a set of BBS RA's with black centers going on soon thanks to Jon(verrückter vw) and I found some 195/45/15's to wrap them with, and no I will not tell you where I found them. :lol: Also the suspension should be coming soon. I plan on working mostly on suspension for the time being, and I'm going to go "euro" single round front. The driver's side fender is pretty beat, so at $60 a pop they should be on their way. The .:R might find it's self outside of the garage this winter. :lol: :lol: |

I'm going to order euro plastic bumpers when it comes to that point. :thumbs_up: Thanks for the comments guys! |
