Hello all. My name is Erik. I'm a Virgo, I enjoy breezy walks, french fries, flowers, and sappy movies. What ever.... I was on here years ago, but I forgot my name. So I get to start over I guess. For the moment nothing I own is fast. Then again All I own are VW's. How fast could they be?????? Married with Debt up to my arse, and three rockin' kids. First up is my DD. I just picked it up. 89 Jetta GLI Helios. Little beat, and lots of amateur at best mods half done on it. Nothing that can't be fixed easily. For now it's running the stock 1.8 16V, Aftermarket exhaust, slammed on coil-overs. Perfect DD.... Amazingly 40 MPG so I'm not gonna complain too much. It's one of 1500, and I've always lusted for one, and now I have it. Or as my wife says: Now you're stuck with it... http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Wolfgang/109.jpg Next up is my project car. 85 Scirocco. I bought it last summer as a toy from Colorado. Zero, and I mean Zero rust on it. Bad paint and haggard dash. I highly recommend buying cars from out west if you can stand it. This is the first winter in the salt. And it will be its last. Plans are for fresh paint and interior this spring, and next year a Turbo'd 2L 16V. Not sure what kind of suspension I want to go with. If I do any sort of racing with it, it'll be Auto-X. I really don't want to spend a whole lot of time messing with the chassis. The K.I.S.S. principle is going to be vital here. This is really meant to be a budget project, Run decently, and look nice. But who knows. I refuse to go the played out Euro bumper and lighting, stretched tires, and Iron Cross', or checkerboard roofs or hoods. I thought that was cool for about ten minutes. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Hasselhoff/055.jpg Then there is clearly the nicest car of the group. My wife's 69 beetle. 99% done. I'm trying to bring myself to finishing the motor. Maybe she'll leave me alone if I finish it..... Really it's a great car, just finding the time and dollars to do it right is tough. In the end, I want it to be better than original. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Alrich/003.jpg I've also got a 97 Golf Trek complete with the rack and keys, and a sled of a 04 Dodge Durango, and a 87 GMC short bed I lovingly call Hector.

thanks for the welcome guys im hoping to get some things done on the gti as soon as i can

Hard core man, reminds me of the time I stapled bologna to my face... It's all good.

Thanks. The underside is cleaner than my Durango. It's stupid. I dunno. I took out the boy's Go Diego Go Jeep tonight when I got home form work. He's gonna be pissed. I do have the original 15x6 RA's. Do those count?
