The shaved 88 Shitaco

[harlerocco]

Had some issues trying to get the wheels on. Went with bigger tires, had to wait for spacers, and then my rear brakes locked up... on my way to work.

Burnt the paint on one of the OZ Turbos because of the heat, and melted the mounting area on a center cap. Replaced calipers, rotors, wheel bearings, and pads. Seems to be alright now.







Really need to clean the inner fenders.



Found a few of these NOS Golf ball shift knobs through the dealership! Picked one up and now they're all gone forever

I love helping contribute to VW/Audi obsolescence

So the wheels are on and I'm liking the fitment. Front is like 1/2" from laying on frame due to control arm angle. Ball joint extenders and tie rod flip kit should fix that.

Also I bought a house and closed on it earlier this week. I have a 3 car garage all to myself But I'm pretty broke after this purchase and other home-related things.

It will get a thread eventually when I decide to throw some time and money at it. I got it to my new house and the garage now houses all my cars. Even my Subaru which I **** (replacing it soon).





Went to Butt Drugs a couple weeks ago with my friend Joey in his Rabbit and came across a really clean '64 Beetle.





These should give me a touch more of low once installed. Hopefully enough to tuck just a little bit of rim.



Been trying to drive it to work a couple times a week since I haven't been on any long trips this year and want to keep up with anything that my go wrong. Gotta make sure it's good for H2O in a couple months. Took this Wednesday

Can't wait

Ordered a bunch of fittings and stuff for my air ride. Going to clean up the compressor line and hide it. Also adding a proper drain and air hose connector to fill tires and such. Everything will be hidden and on quick connects. Hopefully I can get that done before H2O.

Even though she was dirty, it was awesome seeing this thing in person!

I haven't seen this car since Vag Fair last year. I am really looking forward to seeing all the changes in-person at H20.
