Thats right, I have a new driver as of yesterday. Well it's not driving yet but i did buy the ugliest and worst car VW made.....a 4dr 411 (411 is the fastback style for those who dont know)
This weekend I should have it slammed and some wheels on it. i'll post pic's as i go

If you have any cool (ok maybe not cool) pic's of these ugly cars fixed up post them. There was a nice wagon at the classic in green with wood panels and brms.
Thanks.

This is not mine but the one that was at the classic

Your as bad as Stephen with all the cars you buy and sell!

Dan, Airspeed motor may go in tonight if i can get it. The 411 will be a saturday project. Maybe pull the struts and see what needs to be done to get it on the ground. Maybe add some 16x6 alloys?
Project Fugly!

damn geoff, when you said 411, i immediately thought of the woddy 411 that oldbug.com used to have. i've actually seen that car for sale on thesamba, then you show the pic of it. i thought you'd bought it.

imo, that is a sweet car. bags, wood panneling, the whole surf look.

good luck with yours.

That's a 412 Geoff. Don't you know anything?
I was at Ralphs autowrecking on Mitchel Island last week and saw a really clean 412 there. I immediately thought of you. Is this the car you got?

Chris · « **Reply #10 on:** June 02, 2004, 12:42:13 PM »

Damn it even says 412 on the license plate. All my trust in you is gone!

Geoff · « **Reply #11 on:** June 02, 2004, 01:37:07 PM »

What color was the one you saw? the one i bought was blue.
412-411 same sh#t different pile.

NO they are not the same the 412 has a different ODOR of burning oil coming from the heater boxes than the 411.
Tried it, didn't like it, wouldn't do it again! Kinda like bumpin' yer head!! wayne

Wayne!!! is that you?

I thought you fell in the ocean or something!

411 came in 3 body styles like the 412. You just got the uuuuggggggliest possible version in the 4 door.

If you take the springs out of the front and the back, it will set level kinda. But it still won't be very looooooooow. There was one at Puyallup this year out in the parking lot like that.

Bruce · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2004, 01:08:05 PM »

I think the one I saw was blue. It had a bit of damage at the very front edge of the front hood, preventing me from opening it.

Geoff · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2004, 02:45:15 PM »

Well mine has the 411 badge on it, and yes it is a ugly car
