Hi. I have a couple of Hood Rides.
The first is my completed 1984 VW Jetta GLI. Yes, it's a VW, scroll down for non VW Hood Rides.
I got the car for FREE! Then I put a sum total of 450 bucks and hours of work into her. Here are some pics from along the way.
In the beginning....

Removed / Rebuilt / Refreshed the 1.8 JH engine and 4K tranny.

Prettied up the engine bay with some paint:

My next Hood Ride was a 1982 Porsche 928 I bought for 900 bucks. Got the dead 4.5 V8 running with some intake and fuel system work. Did a water pump and timing belt. Some flat black paint and it was ready to roll:
