That is so bad ass. I nominate you for ride of the month.
kickass car! Wish you would have made it to the challenge so we could have seen it in person
VW's do nothing for me typically but that is pretty sweet!
Christalmighty. That's pretty much the sexiest VW I've ever seen. Great job, man.
I love this car. Such an awesome look to it. I was bummed when the thread died when the old forum was replaced. Are there any build pictures anywhere else on the interweb?

The fact that this one is climbing up "most interesting" so fast lets me know it's working. Now add more updates. With pix.
I will update as soon as I can. It's going to be -15 this weekend. I haven't been able to work on it in the past month. I was sick for a bit and it's been balls cold outside. Not much left though. I still have to put the turbo back together and weld a bit of the exhaust. As of right now I am in search of 15x9 daily driving wheels and tires :)
That is sex on wheels right there. :-D Me likey!
I LOVE the hood straps
Dude.
Smokin' hot. Good to see a racecar that is this damn good-looking. Forgot about this one since it was first on the old forum.
Love the new photos. It's the little details that make this car so damn cool. Awesome work.
Squashed rabbit crest on the c-pillar would be my favorite part if everything else wasn't so ridiculously sick!
Saw this a few years ago. Awesome build and great guy.
