There it is… 100k on the odo coming back from Whidbey Island Ren Faire this last weekend. I can’t lie, I’m being super picky and anxious about a lot of things right now… I’m trying to dial in the build and fix all these things that are popping up. But I still can’t be happier with how much she has taken care of me and I will forever do the same, at least until she’s dead dead and no longer driving. I hope that’s not for a very long time. She’s modded to hell and I gotta live with what comes with choices I made for these modifications. It’s still what makes her mine and unique. Cheers to the next chapter in our adventures together. 🦄

Gotta love fixing the laziness of a shop that “takes pride in the quality of their work” 🙄

Although, Jason over at was FANTASTIC getting a replacement shipped out and delivered just a few days after I contacted them.

Completed the install with some home-printed () TPU exhaust hangers to give me a little more clearance around the axel. This fitment is TIGHT 🥵😂

While I was back there I finally got the rear diff skid plate by installed.

Slowly getting things done the right way…

Loving being ! Always dependable people. Out with the old and in with my own little “custom” build. I’ve been sitting on some Pro-lift springs for a while now. hooked me up with the b6s. got it installed today with some new front CV axels. Sadly discovered at least one rear axel needs to be done because the shop who did the engine swap failed at the exhaust realignment (amongst other things 😂). I also gotta 3D print some new exhaust hangars. It’s definitely a rebuild year. But we’re doing things right. ✌🏼
