Yes, yes they did. I have a set of sockets I got with my new Hellas that I didn't need. Anyone?

**mileycyrus** · 03-15-2012 01:00 PM

picture of said sockets?....

**s2kvondeutschland** · 03-15-2012 01:12 PM

Lemme find 'em in my box of crap. I'll post 'em up asap.

**waterwagon** · 03-20-2012 05:58 AM

The fake grass.

**mileycyrus** · 03-20-2012 10:44 AM

oh, and to tie it all in.....lol

**denniro** · 03-20-2012 11:24 PM

If not for the illegality, this car would be set off by a built-in water pipe, optimally, one made from improvised parts.

**Run_That** · 03-21-2012 03:01 PM

Still not understanding how this is cool at all.

**Kingchris401** · 03-21-2012 05:41 PM

Everyone might not agree with it, but in my opinion it is cool because it is against the grain. It's not like anyone elses. Think of a stanced out mk 4 golf on bbs rs... Everyone and their mother has one. This one is like no other. You will not find another like it.

Plus, like he said before, everything works. Despite what it looks like.

The answer to your question is "to each his own".

**denniro** · 03-22-2012 12:15 PM

Some folks say they don't understand, but have to keep checking in on the latest photos....

Keep up the good work.

For one, I've now learned of street signs as a good, inexpensive source of heavy gauge sheet metal.

**cts** · 03-22-2012 12:42 PM

While I love seeing a nice MKIV or MKI fixed up clean, There is typically no creativity. Theyre fun to look at for a minute then I dont care anymore. This guys car is awesome because he has a "who gives ****" attitude and is just doin him. Id spend longer looking at 2 cars like this at a show than a whole row of carbon copy VWs on BBS's

**Run_That** · 03-22-2012 04:30 PM

I agree with to each his own.

However, the car didn't look bad to start with. At least could've done it to a car that was almost worthless to begin with. This is my two cents.

I'm all for creativity but...I'd much rather see a car at least one color (flat, matte, or gloss) and good wheel fitment without rubber bands for tires. I am not a fan of slammed poked stretched BBS either, **** the nutswingers.

Enough with my opinion, have fun.

Aaaaaah, but it wouldn't be nearly as impressive if this was all done to a Sunfire!

I'm digging the grass btw.

**philrussell** · 03-23-2012 08:19 AM

in the grass and the car.....

**mileycyrus** · 03-23-2012 02:19 PM

thanks guys....i love this silly ass car!!...it runs perfect....its fun to look at, and drive....and its comfortable inside...unless ur in the back...lol

and always remember this.....im really only a few bolts and some paint away from stock....so how bad can it really be....

mechanically sound automobile that turns heads and is fun as hell to drive.....

ITS PERFECT.....

**KnuckleUp2** · 03-25-2012 08:58 PM

**spam16v** · 03-26-2012 11:22 AM

I hate everything about this car, keep it up! Wish you were closer, I'd pay you for some moar ink to make the build go quicker/easier. Probably some good money to be made fixing what I've already got for starters.

**mileycyrus** · 03-26-2012 12:24 PM
