Just a friendly PSA. If graphic scenes of violence against strctural metal offend you, then you may want to avoid this thread for a while. It's about to get real horrorshow...

Happy one-year-older-than-you-were-yesterday day!

I see how it is earl.....

Still casing my recipients address to figure out the best time to leave an M10 on their doorstep...

Fixed

Well, it's that time again...
 
Time to rip a bunch of stuff apart, spend half the winter with my hands saturated in engine degreaser, and maybe put it all back together in time to have some fun next summer.
 
This years plan is to do coilovers, wheels and tires, and a little bodywork. If there's time, I might start working on that turbo I keep saying I'm going to do...
 
So far I've built a shelving unit/workbench,
 

 
pulled the rear subframe and started de-rustifying it,
 

 
and sized up some borrowed 225/45/15s.
 

 
I'm thinking I'll weld on some flares off a mark one vw golf, but not 100% sure about that yet. Should be fun!

Who the hell is this nap character?
 

Nice topic.
 
I think the car looks great, and it's a good story. My nag is that I feel like cars like this are built more for looks than anything else. Does he plan to track the car? Was it built to be competative in a particular class? I feel like when modifying a car, everyone has different priotities. Some people care more about looks, and some people care more about performance. Almost everyone cares about both to some extent. I think building any car is much more of an artistic endevor than people give it credit for. Even people who modify there car in strictly logical and functional ways are expressing their ideas and values by doing so.
 
I just hate to see all those expensive racing bits sitting around being gawked at like pieces of sculpture, rather than being put to use doing what they were designed to do in the first place. It just seens vain to spend so much time sitting around, staring at your car. Not that i don't do it too...
