Sometimes I get jealous of everybody pulling up and looking good in their own cars and it makes me think I need to stop putting the cost of finishing the project on the back burner of things to spend money on.
Last few months didn't really involve the GTi much. Landlady decided to sell the house I was living in and in a matter of 6 weeks I needed to clean up a few projects I had sitting around, find a house and move.
The white cabby is my GF's and not part of the sell off but it was a component into why I happen to have that other sad girl cabby waiting to be stripped and binned up for spare parts. The mk3 golf went to a deserving teenager who was really excited to get into his first dub and start his cult member status.
A guy pulled up in a 66' and took the caddy/scirocco 16v project from me.
As a couple we decided that we were over living in the city and wanted to relocate in the fall but for the remainder of the summer we were going to pack all our stuff up into a storage unit and buy another camper van to live in and travel. We did about 10k miles and stayed at many many awesome places before relocating north of Seattle in Bellingham.
I ended up selling the van to a couple from Nome, AK. The dude was a gold miner that sucked nuggets off the sea floor from under the ice. WTF?! They were flying into Seattle and taking it to San Diego > Chicago > Pittsburgh > Fairbanks in the spring. If you haven't already experienced van life before and done some traveling I highly recommend it.
I'm in a house now with lots of space and have almost gotten back on my feet with $ so I can finish my GTi and get back on the road. I have sworn off other projects and actually don't have a car at all right now besides that so I am feeling motivated. :thumbsup:
