So I bought my golf in February...Lil did I know that it was going to be such a big project....Just figured new suspension (whoever did it did it ghetto style),new wheels (at some point), brakes,interior stuff....Nothing too drastic....I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER....So now here it is May and my car is still not right...After a rebuilt engine gets put in I found out that I need a new clutch,need a new brake booster,new brake cylinder,new windshield (the crack in the old one has gotten really big)....My tail lights still aren't working right...It's still blowing holes in relays....I am so fucking frustrated right now.....Not because my car has these issues but because it's all the ways down in Vancouver and I don't have the money to fix them...This is why I need a new job...Well I know where my tax rebate check is going......


Ok I'm done :number1:

Welcome to owning a VW :) - I should give you a list of the shit I've done to my car to just keep it a daily driver - I would but my fingers would probably cramp into a claw.

Im assuming that you have a MK3 or older VW.  Most of us have figured out by now that when you buy a used car, let alone a significantly older model VW, that you should expect a list of repairs.  Old cars come with a price, just like new ones do.

I sadly was about 1200 miles away from my last one, and unable to do anything to it ever, let alone never drove it, not even once.  In addition I have primarily lived in apartments where I couldn't work on the ones I did drive.  This is why I decided to buy a newer vehicle until I had my own home, and shop to work on my attempted project cars.

You're not alone.  :number1:

it's a "love,hate" thing.....

see my sig.

im a really good mechanic. what are you?

damnit, I re-read the title and realized it said 'to' not 'a'

your a woman, I dont think 1 min of bitching is enough to keep you from exploding..

This mainly:

Well obviously most of you have not figured out that I am not surprised by any of this.... I totally understand that along with owning a mk2 comes spending lots of money on it....I just needed to bitch and vent for a minute...

Apparently you weren't expecting an obvious respose to your obvious statements then, obviously.

 :wave:

I expect nothing but the obvious to be stated repeatedly...

i expect boobies!........... by the set's for now on!

Being a "VW person" should require your owning at least a couple mkI before you can own anything else so that threads like this are completely negated by your knowing what a REAL piece of shit is..

My first mk1 caught fire and burned to a crisp.  Two weeks after we sold it.   :wave:

First car I owned was a 79' rabbit... It fell apart to the point where I wasn't allowed to drive it anymore (not that I really could but I would've tried)

Nah, I'd still woulda drove it (as I post from my 78, broken down on I5 north in 112 degree heat while trying to get to seattle)

Pics?

what about on cornelius pass @ cornell when it pissed all over the road?

Eh?   I was talking about what was really going on right then...

Looking for some....I haven't had the car in almost 10 years now so I'm not sure if I still have any....It wasn't anything pretty...Cardboard brown..What am I saying...It was rust with cardboard brown accents..Holes in all the floor boards....Couldn't put anything in the hatch because it would drop out...haha..I didn't even have a license yet.. You couldn't talk when in it...Well you could but nobody could hear you...Grinding noise in every gear (or maybe that was the fact that I had no clue how to drive)... radio worked when it wanted to....Wow....I hadn't thought about this in years

Memories  <3 :drive:

fuck pic's of the car, i can go ou tin my shop and take one of the last 20yrs of vw tech if need be........ that shit is played out!...... aryola's are where its at!

My first watercooled was a 79 brown metallic. I miss that single-round grille. I built it out of two rabbits and had to completely rewire it because of the shitty fusebox. In the first month I blew both the front CV's and asploded a clutch. Had to get the half-shafts off the other rabbit by turning it on it's side and chiseling out the 12point bolts. I sold the car three years later for 300 after having bought it off a tweaker for 100. It's the only VW that I've ever profited from by selling, even though I lost money in the end because of all the speeding tickets. I wish I still had it. I'd trade all my rocco's, the 79, the 82 and the 85, just to get one solid running round-eye rabbit at this point.

Yeah I didn't buy the rabbit....My step dad got it off a military guy that was being transferred....The guy couldn't sell it so he gave it to us....That thing was awful but it was fun for the few months that it ran.....

Apparantly all the pics I had of it are burried in some storage container or another...Can't seem to find em at all.. Kinda makes me sad...But I very well may have gotten rid of em on accident after my mom passed...I threw out alot of stuff I shouldn't have...oh well

Its okay, most people on here would rather see pics of your boobs anyway.  Since you still have those.........

Yeah I'm sure they would...Sorry to disappoint but I won't be posting pics of those anytime soon...That's something only people I actually know (in real life not forum life) get to view...Sorry :wavefinger:

Tally on if we want to see you naked:
Yes - 0
No - 1

Well then we are all in agreement on this... :)
