Sorry for the late reply everyone, yes I know my username sucks, I made my samba account in high school when me and my friends had grand ideas of building cars. At the time I was heavily inspired by a show called Initial D and I wanted to incorporate some bits of the star car (AE86 toyota corolla) as seen with the enkei compe wheels.

Yeah, I couldn't decide on a channel name, I was going to make it 1432Volksvids but instead, I decided to stick with what was already established, but I do like the reuse of the acronym by brian and polypetalous.
I hope to finish the car this year, I know I haven't been posting as I just want to get the car done and enjoy it. I don't have the intention of getting big on youtube, I was just inspired by people like EZGZ and Mustie1 and so I wanted to share my VW journey as well.
I hope everyone Has a great day and thank you for showing interest in my channel!

Little known fact: it's only an acronym if it can be pronounced verbally as a word (e.g. RADAR, NASA, etc). Any other abbreviation is just an "initialism." Razz

Dang, I was hoping to see an SR20 swapped into a bug with some bosozoku style exhaust pipes and TE37s.

I recently watched the movie version of Initial D on Netflix and I really enjoyed it. In some ways it was like watching LaMans, but with a bit of a plot added in between the racing. Good car driving movie.
