I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Post by DA 9_Chinga » January 18, 2011

So im picking this up this weekend. Already put money down and drove it, drives great, runs great and is so badass. It's a 1.6l H4 aircooled rear mounted rear wheel drive 1972 VW Squareback with a 4spd manual trans. It's going to be my new project instead of the 4dr Civic.. Here are some pics...

I will be stripping the interior and redoing that first along with addressing any rust there is (which is not terribly bad for a east coaster) and slamming her.. are my first plans.. more to come!
Enjoy!
