So, normally after I come back from shows I have plenty of new ideas. Well, work might have to slow down on the MKV because theres a new horse in my stable.
Found a car on craigslist talked to the guy about it. He was like 2 hours and some change away but I went to take a look at it with the truck and trailer ready. On the way he sent me a few pictures. This is what I got.
Undaunted by the ricey body kit, the black spray paint down the drivers side, and the potential damage to the rear quarter I bought it anyway
This is how it looked when we dropped off at my house last night. Less than 24 hours after returning from SoWo.
So it was late when we got home. It was a 6 hour trip to pick this beater up. Yes it has its damage, but don't worry it'll be clean and fast when its done.
So yeah I know the lower rad support is effed, the carpets are trashed, but its just a shell. Its got the KA24DE in it thats recently had the head in the machine shop, fresh timing chain and tensioner, new gaskets. The guy just didn't put it back together and had to ditch the car for personal reasons.
I'm looking at putting an SR20 or RB25 in it and going BT. I'm tired of dumping my money into my MKV. Its fun, and has been a good ride but I just feel its time to move on to the next project. I've never been able to have a dedicated project car, but now that I've graduated college and my parents are letting me keep it in their garage now is the perfect time while I search for a job. RWD FTW. I'm looking to making nothing less than 400+whp. Anything else is not an option. Its never going to be a daily so practicality is not a problem. I'll always have vw's, my MKV isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I plan on bringing the euro flavor into my build. Check in periodically and see what I'm up to over here. :thumbsup:
