Well, I am bored and losing motivation currently so lets share some cars!
Got stationed in Washington State. Bought a red 2002 VW VR6. The kid was going through the process of converting it to look like a R32. Sadly that car did not last long.

Ended up rolling it into a ditch. Let the tow yard take the truck.

Then took out a loan to get a 04.5 PG GLI.
Originally looked like this...

Eventually she went on coilovers, wheels, shaved the trunk, fixed the s**t exhaust, flashed the ECU with a Gonzo stg 2+, OEM bra...etc etc

Then she ended up with that. On the annual Leavenworth trip my fuel tank spanked the road and let a hole in it. Was able to make it through the trip and then back home. Car sat while I tried to find ways to fix it vice just getting a replacement for it. Long story short. Moved to VA. Got a divorce. Ex wife got the car and it ended up looking like this before she sold it.

Moved to VA. Had a mk5 Jetta 2.0 that I didn't care for so I didn't take pictures of it...that got repo'd. Bought a F100.

Enjoyed the truck. It got wrecked.
Then I bought another 04.5 PG GLI...

She got the same treatment as the previous 04.5 GLI except this one went on bags instead of coilovers. Sadly cannot find many pictures of this little lady but she was fun. That one went and then a 03 GTI popped up for me.

That is how she looked when I first picked her up...kind of treated like a piece of s**t.

Went from that to me picking up a full black leather interior for it, fixin' the air setup, getting rid of the A pillar gauge, doing some maintenance items, replacing some broken items, OEM GTI bra, OEM R32 front bumper, 3pc HRE wheels etc etc

In one of the pictures you will see a 03 GS300. Got that with a blown head gasket. Was going to just replace the head gasket and do a GTE swap but things happen and plans change. Car was parted out and the GTI was sold. With that money I bought a non running 1987 GTI for $400USD. Immaculate condition. Sold that motor and trans as well as the strut bars to make money off my purchase. Currently still in the process of swapping a VRT in it. I have everything to include 2 VR6s, PTE 6266, dual 044 pumps and -8AN hoses, VR6 subframe, 5 lug swap, turbo manifold etc etc. I have everything except, wiring harness, WG, FMIC, BOV, ECU, injectors. Currently, one of the blocks is getting dissassembled so it can go to the machine shop for a simple decking and hot tanking. Once it is back then it will get new ARP hardware, new gaskets/seals, hardware all around etc etc. Those pictures will be up in a day or so.

This is the current daily/the wifes daily. 2019 GLI autobahn. 6spd manual. The picture is a photoshop of what she and I plan on turning it into however I used the car to photoshop. The car is just stock.
