Its from the Citi Golf. Its only sold in South Africa, and it is a reproduction of the original Rabbit. Believe it or not, its a currently produced and sold car. That steering wheel is my favorite part of my car. As far as I know, on the vortex anyway, nobody at all has it in their MK3. Here is the car it came from.
Check out the VW South Africa site: http://www.vw.co.za/models/citigolf/

Cool... Another VR6!!! Hellz yeah! so when you wanna turbo it? just playin...
It's kinda funny how you have a mk3 vr6 with mk4 plug wires
I got the mk4 vr6 with mk3 plug wires
Lucky for you it'll be easy to grab a mk4 wheel and toss it on there
You need to buy brandon's mk4 GLX wheels from him and pimp those

I live on the very north side of town, close to centerville and byron. My brother works at the Oreilly auto parts store on Watson, so the Golf is always parked outside during the day, and at Sears at the Galleria, so its always there at night. And I work at Pier 1 Imports, so my car is always sitting outside there. I ride around so much (theres not much else to do here), I'm surprised you haven't seen me yet.. I gotta take a look at your car. When I looked at the group pics from the mall, I saw a bunch of cars that I recognized from around town. One of the waiters at El Bronco drives a clean silver Mk4 GTI, has Monte wheels.. I don't drive too far going to work, so thats the only other vw i really see on a daily basis

Ok, I've been meaning to get back in touch here forever. Here are some updated pics of my VR. If anyone knows where I can get a CHEAP running MK2 or Caddy, lemme know! I want a fun beater car to tinker with.
Any new events going on soon?
Thanks
Doug
And one more for fun
