started out looking like this
Image

Image

Image

Image

then somewhere along the way i fell asleep at the wheel and hit a guard rail
Image

Image

then decided to bite ventoCL's style and tag my fender with stickers.
Image

Image

moving on to a time within the last year or so, the stickers started taking over the fender. On my way to broke.down 09 i rear ended a van in Connecticut. had to leave the car in connecticut and pick it up after the show to take back to MD.

Image

sat at my dad's shop, put on a green fender and bumper that i had from a parts car. The hood and grill i picked up from a local junkyard about an hour away from me.
Image

Image

broke two oil pans along the way (here's the 2nd one which was a couple weeks ago)
Image

Image

Image

and now moving on today.... a friend helped me out and gave me his black front end off his jetta (dont mind the bad quality). big thanks to him for letting me have the panels free of charge
Image
Image
Image

Image

Image

it only took me 3 years of laziness to wreck it, put it back together, and finally making it all one color again
Image


better pictures coming tomorrow. this will do for now.

Re: (Leeds)

Good thread. But you know what pisses me off? Dumbass people on here saying 2.0 pans cant be busted. Or whatever stupid sh!t they say. I just hate people... But glad to see you got the car back to one color. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: (DubsesdA3)

i went through about 5 or 6 oil pans in the 2 years or so i had my 2.0 with my car low.
it doesnt take much for them to get dented enough to hit the pickup tube and throw the buzzer off. i never had one get destroyed to the point where it dumped oil everywhere though
