The story
I bought this car when it was in poor condition, it was my first ever VW. Never in my life has I worked on a VW. When I got it. It was on airlift performance slam series bags that were leaking and had no end links, on top of that it was suffering from leaking oil and coolant hoses, massive vacuum leaks, fueling issues and a rough engine over all. After learning how to work on a VW in a matter of a week I learned how to tear down the engine completely. Restored everything, and threw in a couple of mods to make this just a overall fun to daily car. I love this car with a passion and I think she's still far from done.
