Moe

[Palmettoguy]

Just starting a thread about "Moe", my '99 GLS 2.0.
I'll update this thread w/ more pics as I work on him.
Today, I just put a palmetto sticker on the rear window

Looking great! Roof rack'ed 2.0's for the win

[Palmettoguy]

Thanks. I put the rack on Monday as soon as I got it. I also put the hood cover on today. I need to run to Lowes to get some 3M velcro so I can attach the lower cover.
I scored the bra off of CL for 25 bucks. Well, it was being sold for 25 but I handed the lady 40 bucks for it...

I'm hoping Santa Claus witnessed my good deed and will leave me a Supercharger in my stocking

Haha I am hoping Santa Claus sees me giving rideless people a ride home and leaves me a VR6 in my stocking with a megasquirt computer under the tree

Thanks!
I ended up getting General Grabber AT/2 215/65R16 tires.
They do rub a little bit when the wheel is turned all the way over, but only for a split second or two.

SC is my legal residency. I am currently stationed in MA. I make it back home, Charleston, SC about once a year. I would love to attend a gtg if there is one going on while I'm down there on leave though.

Cute girls can fit about anywhere.


Time to take Moe to step two, AWD.

[Palmettoguy]

AWD...Now that would be awesome

I just got Moe back from the mechanic, I had them replace my front bushings.

Here is a pic of the tag that was on my key fob when I picked him up.


LMFAO

He had a couple of other VWs waiting to be worked on, but I guess mine was the only one on "steroids"

[Palmettoguy]

Just a couple of rainy day photos. I took pics of him today so I could put him on Craigs List...of course the camera I brought w/ me had dead batteries so I had to use my CrackBerry

This is a very sweet ride. I am a big fan of 4x4 Jeep Wranglers and this just added that style to a bug! Awesome job...I'm jealous

I would take it back old school. KC lights are still cool in my book. You could make the removable by making a mounting bracket for the racks.

I got three sets of driving lights on the truck.
