BLAIR - OG VW guy - car whore - I build stuff..

[BLAIR]

Just realized we had this so I figured Id participate.

My Name is Blair. I graduated from JMU in 07. I have had somewhere around 25ish cars, mainly VWs-audis. I pretty much will buy anything that I know I can flip and make money off of even if its not cool.

My cooler cars have been.

67 VW Bug (first car)
98 VW GTI (2nd car) (2L to VR6 swapped)
83 VW rabbit gti
84 VW rabbit gti
84 Audi 4000 quattro
92 VW GLI 16v
79 Honda CVCC (pre civic) 1500 hatch
87 Toyota Corolla GTS (AE86)
91 Nissan 240 (SR swaped)
92 Lexus sc300 (1J swapped)
92 Jeep Cherrokee lifted
08 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon (free car)
03 VW GTI (20th AE)

Currently I have my Lexus sc300 and the 20th AE GTI.

Here are some pics of my past cars.

This is all cars I had and built while at JMU.

The mk3 GTI. started life as a yellow 2L, was featured in PVW in 02. In 04 I painted the car green and totally VR6 converted in the summer after my freshmen year. I owned this car 10 years. It was my pride and joy. I recently sold it to a good friend.

it yellow and in full euro trim

then green and full vr converted

At the end of my freshmen year I bought a Rabbit GTI. I LOVE THE OLD SCHOOL. it was stock. I did a lot to it. Fun car, but it had to go to get the ae86


The AE86 corolla got me hooked on RWD. I got this car at the end of my 2nd year at JMU. I had been going to drift events with a good freind and decided I needed RWD. Found this super clean stock GTS at a buss, it wasnt for sale, but I left that day with the car for well under a grand. This was also my first japanese car and i guess you can say is what pulled me away from being hard core VW.

lookout drift even in richmond circa late 04


After doing around 5 drift events I wanted more power than the toyota had. I decided to sell the yota and move on to a new project. A 240 with a SR. I found a bone stock automatic, blown motor 240 in the burg. Bought it and started my SR swap and build. It was a 91 coupe SE. This all happened the summer after my junior year.



The 240 was awesome, it was quick, but I overbuilt the car. Solid motor mouts, loud 3 inch exhaust, stage 3 clutch, 2 way lsd didnt make for a good DD at all. I had lusted over SC300s for years and now was time to build one. The lexus was a original 5 speed car which is rare. the car was also wrecked pretty bad all down the pass. side when i got it. I fixed the body and had it repainted, did a black interior swap and a twin turbo motor. This is my new sexy baby. I did pretty much all this work to the car my senior year at JMU.

I guess all i need now is a pic of my current GTI-DD-Beater.

You forgot your nicknam of VW Jesus. Oh, and you should talk about the cool jobs you've had in the automotive industry.

Blair i think you probably have the best colletion of non-mainstream cars. and the hottest SC ever.

Wow thats cool, I didnt know you had that ole Honda or Audi 4000. Definitely an interesting collection.

Hell yeah to them cloverleaf mall events! haha. too bad those ended.... good stuff man! The SC is so clean man, looks awesome. I'm sad you got rid of the 240 and 86, but o well. IJ > SR I've been looking to see if anyone in MM was into drifting. Do you drift events regularly with the SC? You should come out to some Drift Nirvana stuff at Summit man.
