wrap it up.

a while back, i posted that i wanted to buy a vw golf to have it wrapped with thecitychurch logo.  here’s a little update on that endeavor.

i did indeed buy a golf.  she’s a 1995 golf III. she had been living under a shed in pine bluff and thanks to the list that craig keeps up with, she’s all mine.  for a 15-year-old car, she looks pretty good. no dings, paint is nice, tires were ok.  one little problem, though.  she only wanted to run in 3rd gear. no shifting.  no fourth gear.  it was kind of like driving a go-kart–push pedal->go.  that was fun for a while.  i took her over to rick to get it looked at. rick works on Porsche’s, so i figured she’d be in good hands. well, to put it simply, rick is a genius.

once we got her running,I began to do a few cheap modifications.  tire/rims (craig’s list), tint (high school friend), etc.  nothing big, but she really began to look pretty dang good.  so, we’re pretty much ready to do a full wrap. it’s about the same price to get it fully wrapped as it is to paint it, then put vinyl graphics on it.  plus, when we’re done with the wrap, she’ll look stock again.

here’s where you can help.  the wrap is about $1400.  yikes, right?  it’s probably going to take me a while to come up with that, so i thought i’d see if anyone wanted to help by donating to the “wrap it up” campaign.  just made that up.  here’s a paypal link where you can make a donation (my email address for paypal is darenneely@gmail.com).  click on personal, then click gift.  anything will help–$5, $10, $20, $100, $1400.  i really believe this could create quite a buzz about our church.  we will take this to events, games, car shows, etc around the city to get the word out about thecitychurch.  plus, it’s my daily driver, so it will be seen everyday.  i’ve posted some pictures, so you can see the progress.

Disclaimer (this is my personal car.  i paid for it, and i pay the insurance, etc.  this is not a “company” car owned by thecitychurch.  donating to this is not tax deductible, but i may give you a side hug.  okay, probably not.)
