Junkyard trips were one of my favorite things to do back in the day! 🍺 Remember going there when I had my Mk2 and my buddy had his Mk1. We were finding some awesome gems!
The reason for wheel curb rash in Florida is, most drivers don’t know how to parallel park. If they do need to parallel park the end result is not pretty. Miss my NY junk yard days ! Thanks again, RickGTI…..🌴
the Foranza with the two tone and chromies got me, they were sold in europe as Daewoo Nubira and later Chevrolet Lacetti, my dad had a wagon in a weird champaigne green color with a 1.6 16v engine (most of them were from Opel as these brands were all part of GM at the time)
Yellow New Beetle….such a true statement! lol And those Vision V’s on the MK5 by the Touareg might have been worth a shot but only if they were 18s lol (pretty sure they were 17s though).
peek the Gambler 500 decal on the hood....that is an off road rally style adventure race. my buddy has a mk4 Jetta TDI lifted on Jeep suspension that he built for it.
kit was likely switch happy / optikwerks. i wouldve snagged the skirts and rear lip even if it meant grabbing the rear bumper, but thats just me. they are relatively low cost items, just hard to find jetta rear valances
@@shona5512 and whys that? People order from overseas all the time I know a couple dudes with their fk vents. Just judging by the materials used and the way they mounted I was pretty confident on EITHER optikwerks / switch happy.
@@stance_fb I dunno, I just can't picture Switch Happy shipping that much stuff overseas to the point where their stuff pops up on random cars in a junkyard in the USA. To me they're a small local company that I meet at every car show. It's just hard for me to imagine that the name is out there enough for people worldwide to buy their stuff.. Maybe they're more popular than i thought, but I just would have thought there'd be another company in USA that makes similar fiberglass parts for VWs that are more cost effective than shipping large items across the Atlantic.
@@shona5512 haven't they traded containers back n forth with East coast guys? Pretty sure I've seen companies like TLCT exchanging parts in bulk with them. People parting out their cars are also a lot more likely to sell stuff cheap and mightve made shipping worth it who knows.
Ford 3 spokes are pretty good I have to say. Personally the Mustang ones you found aren't my favourite, although you probably already know I really like the Fiesta RS Turbo 3 spokes, the Probe 3 spokes are really good too honestly. Have you seen the 3 spoke Probe wheels by the way? There's one style that has a swirl design and another style with a split 3 spoke pattern, both of those look pretty good in my opinion!
