So I'm just getting to the milestone of owning Psyduck for a month now and I'm still super excited to own him. The other day the weather was nice enough for a bath, so my boyfriend took him into work and gave Psyduck a bath along with waxing and claybaring...so I had to get some pictures.
No mods yet, but things I plan to do in the future:
-fog light kit (from ECS tuning)
-springs...I want to lower him just a little bit (any suggestions, I'll take them!)
-Wheels
and then probably other things along the way.
Lol! Both of those VWs belong to my bf's brother...the Cabby is currently in the works of being worked on/built etc.
My boyfriend on the other hand has a mk3 Golf w/ a VR6 swap (soon to have everything swapped into a mk3 Cabrio due to rust on the golf), and then is building a mk1 Rabbit which he's hoping to have for show season this year
Me, on the other hand, only have my NB. Prior to Psyduck, I had a mk3 Jetta but I wrecked it this past december Before that Jetta I had a mk2 Golf, which I miss, but I also <3 NB's and I wanted something with certified pre-loved warrenty
So excited! I just ordered the european turn signals for Psyduck the other day, should be in the next few days and I plan to take pictures
I couldn't allow myself to buy a NB in white/black/silver/grey...I told myself it had to be a color that stood out since that's what is right! (no offense to those who have beetles of the other colors...I'm just not fond of them!)
So, I recently bought from ECS tuning the European clear sidemarkers that they had for sale and they came in today!
Here's a glimps that I took with my cell phone...Psyduck is dirty right now b/c it snowed last night, but once it warms up...better pictures will be taken!
Since everyone loves photos, Today I took a photo of my driveway after my Psyduck got a bath, and some waxing! In one of the photos you can see my boyfriend waxing the front end. Sometimes he likes to think that Psyduck belongs to him but then I remind him who pays for the car...lol.
Also, the large assortment of VWs in the driveway can be seen.
2 mk3 golfs, a mk3 cabrio (hiding behind other cars), a rabbit pickup...and not pictured is a mk1 cabrio that's being worked on in the garage.
i love my Raceland coilovers. you should consider them if you can when buying a suspension kit.... Idk if a mk4 golf kit would work on the new body style beetles... :dunno:
but you have a beautiful car either way! :goodjob:
I do want to do something suspension wise in the not-too-too-distant future. I was thinking about the Eibach spring kit since I don't want to lower my car too much. I live on a private drive, of which the lower half of it is gravel/mud and although my bf and his brothers all have pretty low cars, I wanna only do a slight drop. But I'll look into them!
Diggin' Psyduck! Nice little touches you're adding to your little boy. I hear ya on lowering just a smidge. I'm still leary on doing it, because of the rough Jacksonville roads and the phantom debris that decorates our roads. I'm wanting to do something like this with Cup. This way I can lower her for shows or cruises where I know the roads will be kind to my girl.
Anyhoo, keep the pics coming as well as Psyduck updates
i like the clear front turnsignals.....it brightens up the front. love the snow pics too as we dont have to contend with that where i'm at.... keep up the good work.... :bigthumb:
I absolutely love how my clear turnsignals turned out on the front.
I should be buying some wheels this weekend. They'll be sitting a while until I can get new tires for them and probably until suspension as well...but no worries, Pictures will follow
Just baught my first car. 2000vw beetle. Manual. 140k miles on it . Love it so far had some repairs to stop it from over heating but no check engine lights or anything is on. Runs well now. Learning how to drive a manual is scary but fun feels like I'm actually learning how to drive for real...
As posted in the help forum, my Yellow one engine is shot. I'm really going to miss that colour. Silver one is my new replacement so finally got the cars together to do a little work.
18x8 TSW Jarama Wheels, 225/40 Michelin Pilot A/S plus tires,Eibach pro-kit lowering springs, Audi TT pedals. Soon will be big brake kit, HID headlight conversion anti-roll bar, performance chip, and cold-air intake.:cool:
