I haven't really been on here much, but if any of you have seen my posts you'll know I have been looking for an 03/04 for a LONG time.
Well, thanks to SVTP, I finally tracked one down and was about 95% what I was looking for.
I am the 3rd owner of this 2003 DSG Coupe #6009, which has been on SVTP it's entire life and I was able to pretty much track down it's full history (Prev. owners acrod and STEEDA SNAKES)
Very limited mods, mileage in my range, and came with a full binder of paperwork (Which I have started my own folder already).
My buddy and I flew down to San Antonio (from Pittsburgh) for this baby, and drove it back (1,500 miles and +/- 26 hrs.). I was able to check off "buy a muscle car across the country and drive it back" off of my bucket list. We had a little hiccup along the way, but I think it was just the Mustang Gods' way of telling us we had to work a little harder for this one. The good-hearted guys at Dynospeed Racing in Memphis gave us a little help on the way home and made for a hell of a story to tell around the campfire someday. Anyways I'll stop babbling and throw up some pics!
Outside of Quizno's in San Antonio (clean):
Outside of work the day we got home (DIRTY. Pulled in at 5am straight shot leaving Memphis at 2pm the previous day)
Starting to change a few things. Pennsylvania only has a rear plate.
In Pittsburgh by PNC Park (Steeda side stripes gone)
Removed the silver inserts in favor of black (Thanks AmericanMuscle.com)
Plan is just to continue the meticulous maintenance history this car has and enjoy a (fairly) virginal car. I'd like to get into replacing the bushings and belts/hoses this winter, as well as powdercoating the calipers and SS brake lines. Also worked a deal with a local guy to swap the 03 chromies for a set of 30k miles 10th anni wheels. Hope you guys enjoy the writeup and shoot me some love!
