figured id start a build/picture thread on my work car so I remember what it looks like when it gets crushed one day by the neighbors dump trucks or catches fire.
some specs-
2000 jetta TDI, just passed 250k. 5 year old 6-speed swap (former auto), 2 inch lift.
this was prior stock height-
the plan is to drive this car for work until something awful happens to it or forever. Whichever comes first
Since I spend a good part of the day trying to park on the side of roads without destroying the car or being killed, a 2 inch metalnerd lift was installed by one drvolks, so far after the 6-speed, the greatest improvement. I can now hop curbs and bull over snow!
Already saved my bacon on a 2 mile rutted mud track out to a new construction site. would have high centered without the lift
how it looks with the lift-
problems I will be slowly documenting.
1- nature is trying to absorb the car from the left front rocker and fender rust process
2- some dents and scuffs that are unsightly, have to be resolved for business purposes, car cannot appear to be a total POS
3- maintenance of keeping the car alive to 500k hopefully and more
