When I bought it from Phoenix, AZ. Notice the 2 other Yotas I owned at that time.
1st and only time I had it out for JCCS.
It suffered an unfortunate incident in the hands of a tow truck driver and damaged the passenger side fender, fender flare and control arm. It sat at a friends house under the Las Vegas sun for about a year after moving before I had the funds to tow it to Southern California. I was able to find and replace the damaged parts and slowly worked on it, crossing out the check list one by one.
When it was time to tune the engine, I hit a snag as the flywheel bolts were sheared and it again sat in idle for almost a year.
Today however is a great day:
A few times I have contemplated on giving it up, thank you to my wonderful wife for understanding that I need to work on it til it's all done.
I hope to give updates as regularly as possible.

Could you tour us with the interior? Kinda curious what kind of Volkswagen center console you put in. I've been searching all kinds of cars at the junkyard to see any compatible interior that could at least provide some cup holders lol.
