Today, The title dosent have my name on it the guy who owns it just got it the other day. He is a long time friend of the family he is my "adopted dad". I built a couple of Jeeps for him, and a couple of weeks ago he started talking about getting a VW and here it is. The cool thing is he buys them and the parts I work on them. The last Jeep I did for him I drove for almost a year. When we get Ryans car done I'll have room in my garage and bring it down here. The shop and lift is his also, I can use it when ever I need the only catch is that its in Livingston an hour from my house.
