Sorry for the crappy pics - I forgot my camera so I used my cell phone.

I'm too lazy to caption these, I think the pics tell the story...

still amazes me, even 5 months later

[boostin20v]

how much did you get for the shell?

[VWTUNING]

how much did you get for the shell?


I gave it to the guy in exchange for getting rid of it, he took a bunch of garbage from the shop as well.

I made my money off parting it :icon_smile:

[lotar_6]

kinda sad... but now it can be put behind you. I'm a bit surprised to see the interior still in there. Couldn't find a buyer??

[FlyBy]

sad to see that thing go, but a good chunk of it lives on in jake's golf and my jetta.

Bet you're glad to have some space again!

[boostin20v]

man you could have at least gotten 50 for it

[VWTUNING]

the driver seat was bent from the accident (well from my back hitting it); the rear was kinda messed up from all the glass. Not to mention the whole interior was pretty dirty since it was a light color and I didnt do a very good job keeping it clean.


and yes, im happy to put it behind me and have some space to get the new motor in the VR now :icon_cool:

[VWTUNING]

man you could have at least gotten 50 for it



its not always about making money Stu, but thanks for the kind words.

[useanimagination]

I can't believe it's been 5 months already. Was sad to see her on my parent's road on Sunday. I'm glad everything worked out and most importantly that you are ok.

[Nuksucow]

Its sad to see the car finally go but you have new projects to look forward to Pete:smile:

[VWTUNING]

Thanks guys - I just placed what im hoping is the last order of parts for the Jetta, with any luck I can start the swap this weekend :icon_cool:

[vwremglx]

yep sad to say goodbye.. but now you got veeerrrrrr. Don't be surprised if I'm at the shop while your doing the swap. (just to sneak away with some parts) mooohaahaha

[BUNNYLOVE]

It still sucks but atleast you got a nice Jetta out of it in the end.

[lotar_6]

hells yeah! Did you get the paint off that dam block?! What have you already assembled?

[VWTUNING]

Paint IS off the block, well most of it anyway :P there is kind of a pink tint to it, I bought some flat black to cover it. That should be done this week then I start assembly :icon_cool: Matt (customfabvw) is loaning me his tech manual and may come out and help with some of it. He's been (as well as many of you guys) very helpful through out the whole process.
