Alright, welp tired of updating my intro thread, and basically wanted to start a build thread since winter is coming up, and we're gonna be fixing/modding a bunch of shit this winter on all of my vehiculars.
We will start with my Jooburner.
We will start with how I got it. I had been looking for a jetta coupe for years, and currently had a mk4 GTI VR6, granted, much more luxurious than a mk2, but still just not my style. I kinda enjoy older cars, from the 90's. So I ended up trading off the GTI for a truck (1998 Nissan Frontier) Pictured here (with the bike making a little cameo as well):
Now granted, the first thing i could think of when I saw this, was Ollie's truck and how sick a new gen Frontier would look blasted on some barrett racing wheels. And I fully understand the versatility of having a small truck that gets awesome gas mileage, but I was holding pocket aces.
I had went out and lined up a trade for the truck, knowing that I didnt want to give the truck thee love it deserved, which brings us here. Guy had apparently had some traffic violations, and didn't have the funds to "finish" the Jetta coupe, and wanted something a little more low key. So I did the following
Then I showed up at his house, looked the car over and I was off.
She looked like this day 1
Now pictures may say 1000 words, but I'll bring you up to speed on a few this picture left out.
Timing chains, timing guides, timing tensioners, ball joints, wheel bearing, tie rod ends, control arm bushings, cut springs.
Yeah, cobbled up suspension is probably my least favorite thing (next to wiring) to deal with on a car. So, that brings us up to speed on that one, getting the suspension sorted and the motor safe.
We have done a few little things with her up to this point,
3" chrome side exit (resonator and cat still on the exhaust)
25mm H&R spacers in the rear
Test fitted some painted MK4 monte carlos.
25mm spacers.
Wheels test fitted:
Then like a fucking dumbass, I decided to drive the car with no plates (hadn't got my out of state inspection yet, and was planning to do so the following morning) I'm retarded, and the cops thought the vr was trying to flex on their new taurus cruiser a little too hard, so they impounded the bitch.
Welp, you know what happened next.
Actually no, not really. I tucked my tail between my legs, paid the shit, and went and got my shit out of hock.
Fresh out the pen, figured i would bring her over to chill with one of her homies. (My dude mike's k04'ed b5 s4 which will likely have quite a few cameos throughout this thread, being that he is the person who owns the shop where I work on my shit at)
Plans for the winter:
Exterior:
-Paint either hibiscus red pearl or mulberry.
-4 square headlight setup (Hella DE Cat Eyes)
-MK4 Monte Carlos
Interior:
-MK3 leather with working heat (black)
-MK3 dash
-Some tunes
-Nardi or Royal wheel
Other:
-Fix all the dumb shit that's wrong with it
-Install my header
-Push it. Push it real good
So that's where we sit today on this one.
Now onto my others.
1972 Honda CB350.
Bought her, cause I didn't want to be like all the other poopdick squids round these parts and buy a gsxr 600. Fuck that noise.
