Any of my friends or co-workers will tell you I'm a nerd. I like technical stuff. To get outside more, I decided my next technical challenge should be something that I do outdoors.

I soon found that older Volkswagen Golf cars can be found for cheap, but will need work: precesily what I'm looking for.
