I don’t think there was ever a story, car related, that has been so magical in the volkswagen community. I actually remember seeing a MK3 year and years ago, being built, on vortex with fresh candy deep red paint and a set of chrome wheels I had never seen before. The car was on air with perfect subtle body mods and was thought to be the perfect MK3, and this was before it was even done. There were 2 maybe 3 pictures total that ever surfaced on the car, and then it was never seen or heard of again. And I’m talking year! Well at a recent show out it Cali the ghost of a car FINALLY made its public debut. It’s pretty crazy seeing such an iconic build, done. Personally, I have never seen a better MK3. It’s perfect in more ways then one. The Unicorn is here!

A lot of my content is stuff I find from around the internet, but I think I should post up more of what I find on my own with local events. Spotted this static, rhd Beetle at Formula D a couple weeks back and completely fell in love. I have seen a couple low Beetle’s over the years but nothing this dope. I got to see it rolling in this low and it’s amazing how drivable the car is at this height. Complete with great patena and all. Such an amazing sight.
Like I said in my previous post, Fresh Meet this past sunday was absolutely amazing. The show-out was beyond all of us expected and so was the quality of cars that attended. We all at Fresh Meet would love to thank every person who showed up. It sucked because I was personally telling people they couldn’t come in after the parking lot was full, but there was no other option. We’d like to thank everyone for understanding. The next Fresh Meet will be way bigger and way better!
Anyways on to my pretty short coverage. When I showed up I wen’t right to work, helping park cars and did that for the entire day, so I didn’t get nearly enough pictures that I wanted to. The quality isn’t to great either because when I did take a picture it was quick so I could keep helping. On to it…
As you’ll see this meet covered everything. From Japanese to European to American.
A beautiful Jetta GLI on air ride and CCW’s.
A little different here. A S2K on Mercedes wheels.
I recently bought a B6 S4 so I really was liking this one dropped on Bentley’s.
Very nice GTI in CCW’s.
A very clean Supra on SSR’s.
As you can see cars packed in every where you look. Nothing but quality all around.
Beautiful MK5 on BBS RS’. I love white on white.
Copper centers on the CCW’s were a nice touch. I really don’t like seeing S2K’s without any type of front lip, but it’s understandable in this state and how low it sits.
Very clean Integra Type R with jdm front. Always loved these in yellow.
Two more great looking Mk5’s on air and Rotiform’s.
I really was digging this Accord on Varrstoen’s. Fitment was a thing of beauty.
Beautiful Lexus from the guys at Liberty VIP. Was a treat seeing them out here.
Ice Cream!! A much needed visit…
Always a pleasure seeing this turbo R32. Gotta love the hood mod.
A car I love to see. Porsche 993 GT2 sitting on recently acquired Rotiform’s. A thing of beauty.
Lovely BMW 318. Man, you really can’t go wrong with a modded E36.
Really nice Jetta with a crap load of work done. Owner seemed super cool as well.
As you can see some of my pictures were rushed.
Ray of Unique Auto.
Half of Kevin’s hatch, of Unique Auto.
Was really digging this RL on air. Something out of the ordinary and looks great.
Alex of Unique Auto’s newest project. S2K on CCW’s. He’s got a lot planned for this thing.
Always nice seeing a fully built motorcycle brought out.
Beautifully done Scion on air and BBS RS’.
I really couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this R34 pull up. Midnight Purple and Volk TE37’s, perfect combination.
Very cool Honda Accord coupe slammed on CCW’s.
Yep! Your looking at a Honda K-swap in a MK3 Jetta. Pretty crazy. Would definitely be a huge standout with more work.
Something very different showing up. We definitely welcome stuff like this.
Some exotic sightings.
A drift car that is actually drifted. Love seeing cars like this. Official Soarer too.
Two official RHD cars from the motherland. Really nice.
Eddy of Unique Auto and his dope Fit. This guy was all over the place on Sunday!
I think at this point I stopped shooting and started helping again. We heard there was an accident on the highway caused by two guys racing, and that’s when the cops came to shut the event down. It was such a bummer since the event was going so well. Always has to be one out the bunch to ruin it for everyone. smh.
Here are the cops giving out tickets. I really felt bad for the guys receiving them.
I wish I got better shots of this car. This to me, is the best built civic on the east coast. Such attention to detail. Pretty cool to see it on air as well. Really, nothing was looked over on this car. Owner was cool too. Would love to get more shots of it.
Basically at this point, everyone was leaving. The cops told everyone to bounce so they all slowly left the parking lot. Really glad there weren’t any fender benders since the cars were parked pretty close together. We cleaned up and I took some more random shots. Overall it was a great experience for us all. From this, I know the next event will be much, much better.
That’s all she wrote! Again, my coverage was lacking but I did the best I could with the time I had. Thanks for looking! Until next time…
I have really come to a wall when it comes to my rabbit build. The wiring has really gotten the best of me. It’s really taking me a crap load of time but I know, in time, I’ll get it. But the show season has started and it’s missing it. I literally have every piece of the puzzle ready to go on, I just have to figure out how to put it all together.
It’s great to hear stories of beautiful builds. Especially when it’s basically the same car. In the video below he says the build took him about 5 years, and although my build is NO WHERE near the quality his is, it doesn’t make me feel bad that a couple months in I’m not done. Like I’ve said, eventually I want to do a full restoration but for now I would love to just see the car rolling down the road. Props to the owner of this rabbit. It is an absolute piece of art.
I apologize for the lack of posts. A death in the family is never fun.
I know this might come across as controversial, but when it comes to this huge movement of stance, tire stretch, and fitment, there is only one car that comes to mind that started it all. I remember seeing this car for the first time at H20 years and my jaw dropped to the floor. It was really hard to understand how a tire could look like that on a wheel. Or that something like that was even possible. It looks like it was ready to fall off! Who knew that car would change the whole game. Now I have followed this scene deeply for years now, and I really can’t remember any car that impacted it as much as this mk2 coupe did. Not only was it a complete show stopper with a shaved bay like no one had over seen before, but a complete restoration, new interior, and details that would take you all day to find. It was YEARS ahead of it’s time. It’s kind of weird how it just fell off the map. Would have loved to see the car again. We’ve been hearing rumors for years that it’s on another rebuild, but we haven’t really seen anything yet. Huge amount of props to the builder for going way outside the box. F**k the hate!
Many of you know I bought a crashed Scirocco so I can complete my Rabbit 16v swap. I am planning on just parting it out once I take everything I need. But then my buddy had the idea to buy a front clip and weld it on. Now you and I both know that by the end of all the work and money spent, it would just make more sense to buy a non-crashed shell and work off that. Anyways, I came across this picture and damn did it tempt me! It does look like a photoshop, but this is probably the nicest S2 I’ve seen. Second project? Lord knows I don’t have the space for it! haha
Decided to go back to my roots today. Simple old school Volkswagen’s. There is just something about the beautiful, simple lines of the small bumper mk2. It says a lot when you don’t have to do much to make a car look really good. The example below is basically a stock mk2 with a drop and a rare set of BBS wheels and a clean body. That’s it. And I could honestly stare at it forever. Beautiful.
VAG Event never seems to fail in being one of the biggest Euro shows in the world. With a lot of the people staying over night, and partying all night, I can see why it’s so popular. Besides that it’s a great video. I love all of the small editing details they put in. Makes it that much better of a video.
Now that the GTI is sold I can focus a little more on the Rabbit. I’ll be on a part ordering frenzy in a week or so to get everything I need to get the car on the road and running. I’m excited to say the least. Here is a small update, we basically got most of the wiring untangled and set up in the bay. A couple steps closer.
Well, I’ve finally sold my GTI. I really hate selling cars I’ve owned for so long, but I do believe it was time to move on to the next project. I feel like I’m satisfied with the build and to continue modding it would include tons of cash. I rather just start something fresh. Anyways, had tons of memories with the car and I’d like to give a HUGE thanks to everyone involved in the car in any way. The guys at SNTRL did a photo shoot of it yesterday. I took a couple shots myself, but I don’t want to take away from them so I’ll just give a sneak peak. Again, the car will be missed, but I can’t wait to see what’s next for me.
The final picture before he drives off with it. Hope he enjoys the car!
