Unfortunately the car was rear-ended and thus totaled in 2023. After purchasing the car back, Charles set out to rebuild it better. First he turned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/autobodystrong\/\">Juan Perez<\/a> to fix the body damage. Then he swapped the factory turbocharged 2.0 L TSI inline-four for a turbocharged 2.5 L DAZA inline-five with help from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/deutscheauto\/\">Deutsche Auto Parts<\/a>. The Golf also received a lot of part from the Audi RS3 including the DQ500 automatic transmission, brakes, rear differential and suspension, and seats. One of the project&#8217;s most striking mods is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/oettinger_sportsystems_gmbh\/\">Oettinger Sportsystems bodykit<\/a>.
