Hi everyone! My name is Ryan. I grew up in Houston, TX but I currently reside in Huntsville, TX (you know, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT central) attending Sam Houston State.
I went to SoWo and it was like I walked into the Dope Shizzz thread on the vortex.. I was utterly speechless at all possible angles. It was really fun and I want to go next year.
I drive a '95 GTI VR6 freshly resprayed factory Mulberry..I hope you enjoy my little timeline, for I feel it's important to know where you came from.
Humble beginnings (circa November 2006):
Before I even bought the car, the engine was replaced with a '98 motor and the head was rebuilt with all new valves, seals, springs, lifters and retainers. The previous owner was a huge mk3 fan. Unfortunately he ran into the back of someone and ruined the front end, and his wife wanted the car out of the garage after it sat in there for 2 years.
Bought new body parts along with a Jetta front end.
Then after having my fun installing cams, magnaflow exhaust, Neuspeed race springs, and basically dealing with pricey parts to keep it running like a top, I was finally able to save a good chunk of money in Summer of 2009 to finally get it resprayed.
33 months & $2000 later, I finally got what I wanted.
Then I got some coils and dropped it even more. JOM's aren't bad!
My good friend sprayed a set of 16" beetle steelies for a Color Theory art project, and then I bought tires for them. It's a little way of saying I'm having fun with my car, and positive attention isn't bad :P
This is how it sits, and I hope you enjoy!
Cheers
