The Volkswagen Thread

[mr.umbrella]

I guess I'll play too and none of these cars have air-ride!

The old daily when c.b.s. first started up, I did 250 miles a day in this car and miss every second of it!

My old project that was 90% finished and sold a few yrs. ago to fund my house. Wish I finished it, I spent a whole winter doing all the body work on it and swapping a 16v head onto an aba.

82 rabbit I built last yr. ago and sold to a freind

My latest pile. 96 b4 wagon just swapped to a 5 spd. it's a vr w/70k on it. It'll probly be sold in the spring to fund my garage,tools, and bike projects.

And for good measure my buddy dereks rado since were on the subject of them...

mk1 rabbits are my dream car. Seriously, I think thats "it" for me. Very nice! What styling are dub guys calling that rabbit (with the racks & luggage, roughish/vintage feel)? Its kinda my bike build style inspiration.

 

[mr.umbrella]

Not sure, I didn't really go for any sort of style just did my own thing with it and had fun.

 

[forcefanajd]

thats a very nice corrado.....g60 or VR?

 

[mr.umbrella]

Vr and it loves to break! I think there's something to do with atmoshperic pull and corrados every time the earth rotates around the sun it seems to spit out another part.

 

[forcefanajd]

typical VW

Is the term you're looking for hoodride? The white one is too nice for a hood ride, but I don't think you were refering to it. I'd love a MK1 Rabbit or Pickup. I still miss my 84 Jetta.

I know that burgandy Corrado. It from MASS?

Looking for a VW body. Beetle. As long as it bolts up to a 68 pan im interested. Doesnt need to be shiny or pretty, just solid enough that i wont have to spend forever getting it straight. Dont care if every panel is a different color. Hell it doesnt even need to be complete. I have doors, glass, bonnet, trunk-lid, etc. It does need fenders though. Let me know folks... Thanks, Mike.

 

[VonYinzer]

Im shooting for something like this...

 

[hurley209]

thats a sweet bug man, im diggin the hoodride look.

ever since i could remember i wanted a 68' camaro ss, then one day it all changed, and now id take a v-dub over alot of cars.
heres my beetle, not 100% done, but then again are any project ever done? theres always something new to do.
its a 74, i went for a german/vintage look.

 

[VonYinzer]

Thats sharp man!!! I wish I could work on mine more (or at all, its buried in a friends shop right now...). Once I can get a new shell, and fenders I sould be able to get my hood ride rollin!!!

 

[kbmx613]

Can't believe I haven't seen this until now....
This is my dad and I's the current project:

It is essentially a re-build of the one he built way back in the day:

love me my VWs, ive had my mark 3 since i was 16 (22 now) trying to sell it tho, wanna get myself into an e36 M ;D

i see some natives to the vortex community on here, good stuff

started out a stock 95 jetta

then i built it into a typical "vortex" approved, boosted, lowered mark 3 over the years

some of my other VWs/cars
my old 85 8v (red) and 88 16v Sciroccos. 8v was a pile of shit, but the 16v was an awesome beater car

sold those and picked myself up an 87 325IS for a winter beater for 500 bux. AWESOME car, has never let me down, still have it to this day

oh, and my old 96 passat parts car, buddy rolled it, helped fund my turbo funds for the jetta
