1) 66vw Type2 Deluxe 13 window. (Bus aluminum trim, 1 extra window on each side) Gut it when I was 12~13 had to fix it to be able to drive. Learned a lot; but what a mess. Had tons of stereo, killed lots of alternators, broke lots of motor mounts, upgrade to the near 100 hp range, lots of noise insulation, lowered 3.5 inches front and rear (correctly), Painted it, polished, went to car shows with it, drove it to high school, had it stink bombed, spray painted, keyed, lug nuts loosened, oil filter pierced (very visible with no rear bumper). Burn to the ground day I graduated from High school because a float stuck in one of my brand new carburetors. (there's a thread all to it's self)

2) 62 Vw Bus Parts for the 66 and needs restoration now

3) 67 Vw bus Free Parts

4) 87 Toyota Supra Started as n/a Auto ended up as highly modded turbo 5 speed. Should mention that I bought it because it had excellent to me brakes; power steering; cold A/C; adequate power; and handled like I tried to make my vw handle. Was reliable, but I managed to kill that quickly. Had 15" monitor moulded in to dash, painted it is300 blue, did lots of experimenting with it, tons of gear rations, diff setups, turbo setups, intercooler setups, water injection, little NOS, suspension geometry changes, lots of different rubber went on the car, methanol injection, intercooler sprayer. wrecked 2 times, lived a hard life, killed by a neighbor who had it out for me and would find creative ways to separate me from my motor oil.

5) 94 gs 300 Didn't do much to this thing baught it, swapped running motor in to it, sold it.

6) 89 Supra Grey (stiil have it) baught when neighbor killed last Supra. got it in 05 with under 70k (50k of which was on it by 92) full maintance records, synthetic everything since new, short OCI's and get this the reason it had so few miles was the owner decided to become a priest and basically parked the car. Drove it as was for 15~20k had to replace virtually everything rubber, started "upgrading" poly mounts on everything but the motor, nylon subframe mounts, home brew stb, master cylinder brace, SS brake lines, EBC green stuff pads in all 4 corners, Koni's and Eibachs, MKIV wheels, 120 treadwear tires, 60 trim on 9.5/1 n/a motor, Turbo electronics swap, stock auto with cooler and synthetic fluid, 4.30 LSD, oh and don't forget it's a targa.

7) 90 300zx n/a 5 speed wrecked front and rear Parted out (still have a few bits)

8) 95 300zx Turbo 5 speed Parted out ALL GONE

9) 95 Accord Wagon acquired with a wrecked front a tweaked frame, heaved and hoed untill the alignment was stock and the front end went on with in the factory wiggle room (larger holes in body panels than the bolts are). Not perfect, but pretty decent painted it 2005 Accord grey. Wanted to swap motor but never did, sat in drive way for several years then sold.

10) 92 Celica GTS (should be much earlier in list)got a deal on it when a woman had to have an SUV. Polished it up swapped motor mounts and it looked and drove like brand new. My sister borrowed it and basically never gave it back, except when she hit a deer, a ditch, another car, and yeah she shouldn't drive.

11) 92 Ford E-350 460 motor. Was never mine, but my dad owned 2 for about a year and left one with me; it was nice to have around, but man it drank fuel.

12) 2002 Golf GTS we all know and love.
