I guess I totally forgot to update this after my first initial post.

Fast forward to 2014...

Pics as requested. Various stages of the old Mk3 (sold), new Mk3 (bought stock, fixed up, and sold), the Audi A3 (daily driver), the Z3M Roadster (what I bought in replacement of the 2nd Mk3), and the '63 Bug.

1st Mk3 (pictured above - sold in 2007)



The A3 (static days)
Autostradas


Decided to step out of my norm and obtain air. I actually love the adjustability capabilities of an air ride suspension for daily driving. You never know what you're going to encounter on the road driving 60 miles one way to work every day.


Decided to get wheels again after selling the Autostradas and putting air suspension on. CCW Classics:




My '63 that my Pops and I restored from the ground up. (5-year project)



TV Time:


Obtained my 2nd Mk3. This time in VR6 form:


I already had parts waiting for it before I even got the car because I knew I'd build another one more time. These are the stages:



All red tails and shaved rear weld seams...









Just before I sold her:


More A3...
AF-Imp Magazine Spread...


Lower Control Arms...


VSP Type 1's:


The ever controversial 3-piece Fifteen52 Mullets:




The Mk3's replacement:



Lowered on Status Gruppe Coilovers:


Finally found a mint condition/discontinued hardtop over 400 miles away and drove up to pick it up. The boys over at CATuned helped with color matching it before I got up to Sacramento to pick it up so I wouldn't roll down 2-toned:


Fifteen52 Formula Classic (fully polished w/ no clear coat):


Went back to Status Gruppe to dial in the ride height. Never Done Garage front and rear splitters/diffusers on the car...


I had the idea to do a full "X" brace roll cage in the Roadster and had the fellas at GO Customs fab it up. The end result and craftsmanship is beyond amazing! Paired with the Recaro Pole Positions and it made it an instant winner for me.
