ummm, this is a VW forum.

[THEVEEDUBB]

i know, just thought id show off what i have, i had a 1998 montero when i joined, then a VW Jetta GLS, (epic fail that was) now his, just showing off what i had and what im proud of doing and have done....people on audiforums and mitsubishi forum have no problem with my nissan

[golfzex]

I just dont get it, i would never go on a nissan or honda forum because i own a vw and im a german car lover. Thats like going on a Pepsi forum and posting all your Coke stuff. I dont know why people would cross post. I mean its a altima, like the 50 i see everyday on the road.

[THEVEEDUBB]

you know what your saying is extremely biased?not saying your an asshole, but its a show off thread, i dont see any rules of what i can or can not post, point is, after i got rid of my VW Jetta, i got an beat up altima, i did some body and engine work to it that i am proud of, i to am a german car lover, and me and my aunt are still planning on imorting a cabrio. needing full restoration. as of now, i dont have the cabby, this is my only baby and im proud to show it off, i see tons of VW's and audi's on the road, im not flaming on that.if you like my work that took me months of dedication then thank you, if your going to come on here and say "its a nissan fuck it" then up yours.
no offense but what you said is pretty offensive to me. im on audi forums and a person posted a honda Civic EX restoration project on there, another person posted a Mazda Miata project on their too...why dont you join the forum and start flaming them saying the same thing

theres nothing wrong with my post,

[THEVEEDUBB]

i even posted this on a metal forum, they dont seem to be flaming it, theyre likeing the restoration

[golfzex]

Its ok you can call me an asshole, if thats what being loyal to german cars does to me then so be it. I have zero interest in a nissan, honda, toyota, etc.

If i did have interest in those cars then I would find the forums related to them and hang out there.

I will say that its good to see the time and work you have put into that car, I would just love to see all that work go into a more deserving project.

im 18 years old, and struggling to find a job, and its hard cause of school, i worked for 3 weeks, and now this thursday im leaving for poland, again, i too love german cars, wich is why i jumped at a 500$ VW jetta, wich i had to get rid of(if you like ill give you a link to the thread)

but with money i have, as long as the mod bug, and my love for cars, this is what i have, and im growing closer to this nissan. to me its been deserving and rewarding.
still cant wait to import the cabrio though...its looking forward to a 2.0T Diesel swap and AWD Drivetrain...

im sure you'd be looking forward to that project, sorry for calling you an asshole, but i hate being put down for my work

[golfzex]

no hard feelings man, ill be looking forward to seeing pics of the cabrio project.

[Handeye]

Now that the drama has subsided and you two are playing nice.....

I was at the factory that this car was built for the last 2 weeks. And this week I'm at a supplier of there's for that model as well.

Thumbs up for the attention to detail. Now swap in something large and make that car a sleeper.

[THEVEEDUBB]

i was plannin an SR20 swap, but with that kinda money i would have already made a 300-350 hp KA24,

[jet5nine]

you did all that body work and pannel painted it.....why?


if you do body work like that, you should know paint doesnt match from pannel to pannel. you should have blended.

it great your proud of your car, but really i dont think alot of ppl on a vw board really care to see a stock nissan with a red valve cover.

sorry, its just not my thing....i think i can speak for others on here too.

[mk-4gasm]

Is your dad going to make you take the valve cover back too?

i did bledn, the pics of the paint booth are when the car was dirty as hell, so the paint look lighter, and the paint faded just a bit, so its a 99%match, maybe better

and i dont give a crap if they care or not, i post what im proud of so NYA NYA


and no the valve cover stays, its the only one i got, he says he likes it...
