History
Purchased in 2017 this was my daily driver for 6 months. After driving home from VW Nationals 2018 my engine had let go.
This started the build on what now has been a 1916cc engine, air ride suspension and a complete overhaul of the car.
Jump to 2019 i decided to go down the path of turboing the already built 1916cc with a bit of help and fabrication from a friend this was completed and running awesome! I than ordered a set of one off custom Rotiform wheels to perfectly fit the car and stand out from the boring same wheels you always see on them.
