    What I did this past weekend (waterfest)

    Some of you are or have been into VW's. It is where I got my start and have begun in other directions from there. I still get VW builds (mostly what actually have right now). I am putting together the components for my E30 build right now for instance. DaveCN is a frequenter to my little shop. Anyhow, I am putting up a link to my biggest project to debut. Some of you may like it, some will hate it. I am just showing what I am capable of. Though I hope you like it!
    (I am the guy wearing the white T-shirt with DTR performance on it)
    Enjoy!

    Incidently, I have worked on a car that is going to be featured in Performance BMW in the coming months. It is a slammed e30 325e with a rather unique paint job.

    The E30 you mention is a copper patina'd car from Ohio that has a license plate that says "NOT SAFE" I bet. If not, I'd like to see it.

      yes... that is the one. I have done a LOT of custom suspension work to that car to get it that low. And well, one oil pan replacement as well LOL

                Its a Jetta.

                Very cool. Im a VAG owmer myself. I have a B5 A4 avant. My cousin has a mk4 jetta. Ill have to get some pics of it. We just recently finished repainting the whole thing. Shaved door moldings, emblems and full GLI lips. VR6 with a few bolt ons. Fun car gets tons of looks. Im sure yours does.

                  CURRENTLY, it is FWD. However the future is looking toward a fully prepped Audi TT engine and driveline grafted into this car. That is this winter if it happens. The thing is, even if that does get done, as far as the way the car "looks" you wouldn't know the difference. And it was needed to be shown to get the sponsors off of the owners' back. Then we can take it to the next level and hopefully to a local road course!

                    Thanks! (I think he is reffering to the chassis designation a4 or Mk4) and no I don't know any of them. I have a few buddies in the ATL though. They want me to move back and screw around with their Porsches again. Honestly, I have planted here and will most likely stay.

                          Looks like insane work on the Jetta, not that I like the style but I can get down with the work you do. Welcome aboard.
