Columbus/Ft.Benning GA Dubs

[eodtech]

There hasn't been any meets here that I know of. We need to set one up.

[Whitey(banned)vr6]

finally in GA. I will be staying with a relative in ATL until the house I decided on is finished being built. My first vehicle (Touareg) should be arriving around the 1st week of July with the car following a few weeks later. I hope they dont break anything on either... fingers and toes are crossed. I think im going to be rebuilding the turbo (gt3076r) on the jetta as it seems an oil seal is bad. Still runs fine but ive been noticing a nice sized puddle after a few spirited runs. looks like its oozing from one of the IC couplers at first glance but who knows until i can get under the car and really check it out.

hoping to get settled in and meet some of you folks. any of you living in the ft mitchell area are free to give me the scoop.

What's up dude I'm in the fort Mitchell area in a development called misty forest, where r u moving?

Just spotted a lowered united grey mk6 gti with passat w8 wheels on post.

I've been working on it. I was coming back from an incident so I couldn't really follow them.

[bwell01]

looks like the touareg will be here Wednesday. the house still isnt ready yet though so i will continue to hang out in the ellenwood/ atl area.

does the hobby shop there have a paint booth for rental?

if so, who round these parts can handle a paint gun?

the hood on the Touareg is showing its age and id like to respray it. going to look into picking up some factory paint but i dont know the first thing about auto paint.

[raymondlee]

i wont be back to the col area until nov

[Whitey(banned)vr6]

Got any pics ? I'm just getting into the paint correction world and it might be correctable... If it's just oxidiated and some scratches then I should be able to make it look new

yeah its mainly oxidation but its pretty horrible. all i have of it right now are these two. its supposed to be here tomorrow and i can take better pics of it then.







you can kinda see the dull area in the first pic.

[Whitey(banned)vr6]

Yea take more pics, from those pics it looks like it won't be a problem at all .. If you wanted me to do a full car paint correction and detail I would do it for 100$ for a fellow dubber... Touregs are big or I would charge less... I can show you some pics if your interested... Would take about 5-6 hours of work

[Whitey(banned)vr6]

Here's a sample of a car me and my buddy did a couple weekends ago

Before and afters... Incase anyone else is interested

[bwell01]

looks good. when would you be available to do it? i want to learn how to do this stuff myself so i wouldnt mind helping. 100 is pretty darn reasonable to me.

i do a couple side jobs like aluminum polishing/ painting as well. we need to get together and help each other out.

[Whitey(banned)vr6]

I could possibly do it next weekend (the one after the 4th) just went to Texas on leave ..... Not sure if I'm coming back on Friday or not though, if not the following weekend should be good for sure... Its really simple and I'm cool with teaching you it's just time consuming and an expensive hobby/profession... But the results are awesome and it becomes addictive

I'm pretty big on polishing aluminum as well

[bwell01]

cool, lets make some side money polishing and buffing lol

[eodtech]

We should do a gtg at the cannon.

It is a restaurant that does their own microbrew. Good food and pretty good beer.

great shots. i dont think im at that level just yet and i certainly dont have the equipment (lights, remote flashes, umbrellas) but id like to get around and get some practice in so i can get a little better. im ok at the post processing part but all of my past photos are either on another cpu or have been lost due to village photos taking a dump on me.

So if we wanted to start a euro group for this area what would we call it? If we can get a group name established and all that then we can make little flyers to put on people's cars to get more involved.

[Whitey(banned)vr6]

I vote sofa king euro. And I'll make stickers like this

I like it.

[eodtech]

Well that one is a no go. There is already a pretty big car club out west called that.

[eodtech]

What about Southern Euros? That would cover more than just this area.

You still looking to get your paint restored? I'm excited to fix it ... Blew up my left hand on the fourth with a mortar ... Yay.. Post better pix of the oxidation and lemmie know if this weekend works

[bwell01]

Mortar + hand =sux but at least your ok. I'm here now inprocessing. I've seen at least two modified vw's and both wetter nicely done. One, a green and black passat on what looked to be lm-r . The other a pretty nice looking mk5 Gti,female driven. Haven't had a chance to speak to the drivers yet but if you see me stop me so we can meet.

Was the Mk5 GTI white?

[bwell01]

Was the Mk5 GTI white?

negative, it was black on black including tint. im in atlanta now for the weekend since i had no idea what to do down that way.

[BMP_FTW]

I saw a silver mk4 yesterday that was kinda low had some all blue rims on it.

[bwell01]

man oh man, why do people have to try you when theres something wrong with the car. bad enough i have my turbo serviced because it has a faulty seal somewhere but today my stupid s177 fuse decided to fry so i had to limp home. while im trying my best to get back to the hotel without killing the battery some guy in a bmw 335i decides he wants to play speed racer. sigh.... if only he knew. then on top of that, right after that guy finally leaves me alone another guy in a challenger tries the same thing.

cars fixed now... heres hoping the same happens tomorrow on my short interstate trip.

[Whitey(banned)vr6]

Just put a roll cage an a license plate that says v8 killer and nobody will play

Say whaaaaat? I figured this thread would be dead by now. Glad to see its still going strong.
