REST IN PEACE LIL GUY

JUST brought him home today.
this is my little 2001 new beetle 20v 1.8t.
he's my second bug.
the first one got smooshed by some toyota sequoia and a mini-van.
it was an '08 2.5 liter 6-speed.
I'm just glad to be back in a vdub.









new europlate!

once I get some new mods, I'll post some more pics.

they're all just jealous of german engineering. it was very sad to see my squished little guy get hauled off the highway. but my 01 turbo is everything I've wanted! can't go wrong!

I didn't see you!?!?!?
I got there a little late bc we had a bit of a scare on the way down.
the cap on my coolant tank was warped and bc it was so "hot" out, the coolant bubbled up and out of the tank.
I thought I had a hole or blew out a line.
LUCKILY I was driving down with 8 other vdubbers who just HAPPENED to have a different cap.
we filled up my coolant halfway and were back on track.
3 hrs down and 3 hrs back... but totally worth it!!
