My new MK2 Golf GL (My First VW)

**Ballaholyk84** · 11-28-2011 11:23 PM

Whats going on everyone? Well I always had a passion for VW ever since my uncle had his 91 GTI when I was 7-8yrs old. Well the following in Sacramento where I grew up was non existant (unless its really deep underground) so I never had the fuel to keep the fire going. Well I decided to move to the greatest place on earth, the good ol' PNW where my buddy at work has a MK3. As soon as I seen it and seen all the awesome VW's around this neck of the woods I knew it was meant to be.

SO I decided to sell my GT Eclipse to fund a car I had been eyeballing for about 2 months. After hoping and praying the guy had it still when I sold my car I decided to hit him up. Low and behold he still had it. Sold my Car and the very next day I took a trip up north to pick it up and drive it back home. The entire drive I felt like I was a kid again and even now a week and half later I still just want to gas it all the way up and drive until it runs out of fuel.

Enjoy the pictures and the car. I am sure many of you have seen this car on here before as I am using the same pictures.

This is her first fuel up before heading home with her.

And more:

What suspension are you using ? Car looks good though, do you have a picture of how the front wheels stretch compared to the rears? And any more of how it sits?

**vwrookietyler** · 02-10-2012 01:57 PM

Suspension is Raceland Coilovers. I am looking to replace them in time. Front wheels didnt have a stretch on them. Here is a picture of how it sits now. It is going in the shop for a complete body overhaul and brand new paint job tomorrow!

Thanks Tyler, I appreciate it. I absolutely love the car and believe me when I say its in good hands.

**Ballaholyk84** · 02-22-2012 12:05 PM

Here is a few more progression pics of new body work/paint.

**TDemps** · 02-22-2012 02:28 PM

That car is so clean. I personally liked the bbs more than what you have now.

**geralddh15** · 02-22-2012 02:32 PM

Who did your body work and paint?

**Ballaholyk84** · 02-22-2012 02:53 PM

They are temporary until I get my Schmidts in the future.

I have a buddy name Brandon Holland out of McMinnville that is doing it. He has done a bunch and just finally got into his new shop where you see the car in now. Still setting up but I am the first car in his new place. Hit me up and I can shoot you some info on a way to get a hold of him.

Glad you could get something going with him. You wont be disappointed my man. He does great work. You will probably see my car in there still when you go to take yours in.

**Ballaholyk84** · 02-22-2012 07:51 PM

More pics taken today. If anyone is interested in knowing the paint is Tornado Red with a Red to Green Pearl. She is about to go through her Cut/Buff Stage so she will look like glass. Should have her back in my hands on Sunday!

**M dub** · 02-22-2012 08:01 PM

My parents rent one of those units and I normally work on my car there. Maybe I will see you around.

Right on. I was there yesterday for a while. Saw some neighbors coming and going. I probably will see you out there one day.

**Ballaholyk84** · 02-24-2012 05:52 PM

Just got my Smoked E-Codes, Smoked Bananas, and Smoked BB Turns in the mail today. All I need is my car back and Half Smoked Tails.

**geralddh15** · 02-24-2012 06:31 PM

What kind of Schmidt's are you planning on running?

**Ballaholyk84** · 02-24-2012 07:05 PM

RS's are gone brotha.

Finally got my car back from paint yesterday and threw my new Smoked Banana's and Smoked E-Codes on. My smoked big bumpers have different plugs than what I have on my car so I have to figure out a way to get them wired up.

**geralddh15** · 03-05-2012 10:57 PM

Looks good!! Can't wait for mine to be done!!

**Ballaholyk84** · 03-07-2012 09:24 PM

Finally was able to get my smoked turns with city lights installed this afternoon
