my 8V gk2 needs help!!!
hi.
so you all have probably seen me driving around and a few even pulled me over to tell me to join your club, so here i am. I am a college student with not a lot of money but really would like to learn about my car inside and out cuz i have some problems. firrst of all i was at a party and lost my only key to it and need a way to get it home before it gets towed (i have a lock cylender on the way), second there are countless electrical problems that i cannot seem to trace to a source, third i was a dumbass and backed into a truck and have dented my rear pannel and pinned my hatch closed, and lastly someone stole my front underskirts and grill for some reason, all in all, my ride's got problems... but i love it still and so i'm asking for help. so if anyone would be willing to loan some tools, time and expertice it would be gladly apprietiated.
thanks in advance!

I figured that was you. Pretty sweet car. when I took those photos I did some research and found out who's car it used to be before you haha. I was gonna try and save you some money.
Sick car, just needs some work. Give me a ring or text and we'll get you on the right track.
