Here are (most of) the pictures that came off my camera from the drive – I have about 650 more of them if you’d like a larger version of one or to inquire if I might have a pic of your car shoot me an email.

The Dogs of Waterwerks 2008
August 11, 2008 — tongboyThe GF & I got a little carried away taking pictures of the dogs at the show. These are ~30 of them, if you look through the full images page [still to come] you’ll find there are literally hundreds more.
if you would like a larger version of these (non-compressed) please contact me

August 11, 2008 — tongboyFinally – last but not least we were at a car show and there should probably be some pictures of cars instead of dogs or autox (as awesome as both are)

Wow, more then 10 words for a webpage
June 20, 2008 — tongboyI finally got off my ass and made a bit of a website instead of the previous 2 links and a snide comment. This will be very slowly populated with content. For now the best place to find information on my Rabbit build is still the original thread here
If you need to get a hold of me me email address is still as simple and stupid as it has always been, I get enough spam as it is so I wont be posting it, just send me an email, i’m guessing if you are an actual person you’ll figure out my email address – it’s that simple.
Cleaning & Blasting
June 12, 2006 — tongboyso I learned some things today, and i’ll have the pics up once slacker takes them off his camera (I don’t do auto work with my sexy rebel )
first of all, I can’t sandblast by just squinting my eyes really tight and looking away.
two: I should probably wear a long shirt while sandblaster.
three: and pants
four: there are apparently two standards for air couplings, the flat style and the standard style, they both look damn similar but they aren’t compatible
five: i’m going to be picking sand out of my hair for a week and I only sand blasted for maybe 20 min
six: i think the girl at mcdonalds likes me, she gave me a triple on my double cheeseburger

Parts Gathering & more Prep
June 7, 2006 — tongboyspent a good amount of the day on the ‘tex hunting up parts – had some good success and have either laid dibs or hte framework to purchase a lot of my interior pieces.
still trying to find the seats I want locally as shipping is crazy on them – mk2 GLI seats, couple friends have them and they are super comfy and the closest thing I can get to my 20th AE seats and will still easily mount in the rabbit.

June 5, 2006 — tongboyrebuilt my structure rebuild wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be, pretty impressive that for hte most part the plastic held where as the wood buckled in tons of places – in a few pieces in two places on a single piece of wood!

Rabbit TDI Swap – Paintbooth Construction & Still More Teardown
June 1, 2006 — tongboyNot as much progress as I was hoping for today – running around to stores to get stuff took way too much of the daylight today
got the car up on “jackstands” so I can drop the suspension off – with the none straight ground the cinder blocks are IMO actually a pretty good idea for more stability
