B4 VW Passat Build and the life of. (vr6)

[palerunstheghst]

Hey there! New to the SW community...but not new to its familiarity or the low and slow community. I just bought this car about 2 months ago and started a build from scratch. Nothing too special, but I might add....it is fucking DUMPED. Raceland Ultimo coilovers with white rattlecanned bottlecaps. Snowflakes! I plan on getting some wheels (after the holidays). Either A.) BBS RS ....expensive but ER_MAH_GERD! ....or some Modular steelies from USwheel. Not sure yet. Anyway, here's some pics to begin with, as a little timeline of what i've done and encountered during my build.Thanks for reading!

Just a thought, embed the images instead of attaching them. It may spice up your thread a little...

Stock when i first bought it.




The ordering of a pair of Raceland Ultimos



The arival

The install



The result.........All the way dumped in the rear....only sitting on helper springs and about 2 inches of thred in the front....wish i could dump it more in the front but I dont know anyone in my area (san diego) who does some good frame notches for cheap.....if anyone has the hook....let me know!

bottlecaps before rattlecan


snowflakes





Some fucking RAT hit my car last week without leaving a courtesy note. I'm SOL on insurance repairs since it was a hit and run and the person and car is unknown. Oh well.....it'll get fixed. the band-aid cant stay forever,

HAHA cha-cho ass muh-fugga! That passat we saw at the junkyard had a hood! but I aint got the funds until after the holidays because of the blackouts.....LAME...but thinking about just getting an OEM hood...theyre like 200$ unsprayed....but that hood had keymarks to begin with anyway.....IDK we'll see. There are some carbon fiber hoods around also...but thats kinda RICE.

and then there was this...End result being a cracked thermostat housing....Before this, the heatercore pump snapped at the fitment.....after this the heatercore completely blew out,and my cab filled with the everso familiar heatercore smog... so i've bypassed the both since then
