I bought this car going into the 12th grade
to get to and from school. I was into cars
previously but high insurance had me fed up
with tuning cars so I got the most economical
and what I thought of at the time as the least
tuneable car a base model Jetta TD.
After about 2 weeks of driving it stock I
began to change things here and there and it
is now here how you see it after owning it for
1 year and 3 months. The work was all done by
me with lots of help from my dad and friends.
Countless hours have been spent in the garage
getting the engine running right or the
suspension riding at the perfect height! and
of course there is more to come. |
