WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS CAR?
GEOFFREY: "I had a mk5 GTI before this one and loved it, so when it was time to upgrade the mk6 was an easy choice. I test drove the drivers edition and fell in love with everything about it."
WHAT WAS THE MAIN GOAL WHEN THE BUILD STARTED?
GEOFFREY: "I wanted what every car guy wants, I wanted to stand out from the rest of the crowd and knowing I had to keep my budget in mind I focused on the things I could do myself. That turned into doing all the modifications myself including the widebody and paint. I wanted to show my daughter that hard work, determination, and attention to detail pays off."
DO YOU HAVE A UNIQUE STORY BEHIND THE CAR OR BUILD?
GEOFFREY: "5 years ago our daughter was born with gastroschises and was in intensive care for the first 21 days of her life and has had 13 surgeries since birth the first one being when she was 3 days old. When she started to take interest in what daddy's doing to his car I decided to make it "family friendly" so I could take my 5yr old daughter with me wherever I go. I want her to have memories of going to shows and hanging out in the garage working on a car with her father, like I have with mine. I not only built something I can be proud of, I've built memories that will long out last the car."
What are your future plans for the car?
GEOFFREY: "Wire tuck and smooth the engine bay, refine and redesign aero, bigger turbo and other performance modifications."
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY IF YOU COULD GO BACK?
GEOFFREY: "I build hot rods and do custom automotive fabrication for a living. There are always things you look back upon and say I should have done this or that instead but the way I build a car is very thought out and planned so my own car was no different. I very pleased with the direction I took the car I built for myself to enjoy."
SHOUTOUTS
My amazing wife and daughter for supporting me and sticking around through all the late nights, last minute show prep and my wife reminding me how proud she is of me.
