vardo

cheerz dude,porsche leather would be sweet,could you send pics and cost :) cheerz fella,yeah ive been off work for a month due to surgery,and i was supposed to be resting lol that engine is shocking for sure :shock: sorry dude they went yesterday,350 i sold em for cheerz for comment :salute: plans for this are build it very similar to my valver,(but no tt fuel cap this time,too much work)... ,ive got a spare front bumper,so having a go at smoothing it,finish off the borbet As,bigger brakes and coillies,and interior,but time and cash will limit this over time lol

also looking for leather interior if anyone has some for sale?

cheerz will do more pics to follow thank you sir well as it goes,my golf vr started off like this too,nearly put me off vrs for life,check this.... piston missing missing valve ends some bits i found after stripping. also cheerz muchly,i couldnt break a rado,also got a 16v black one which i was gonna break for bits for my other 2 rados but,WHY,few things to fix and thats also another one saved,FOR SALE lol as for the comps,they are sitting here just now freshly polished today with black detailing,selling for cash for my other two

got some solitudes for this,for winters till the borbets are ready started tidying the engine,gonna degrease it all and paint up as much as i can,spare inlet is getting painted,tomorrow

i bought these rims 9x16 borbet as with flat caps and have started to strip them back,one done 3 to go

well car is back ,minus the head,the block is cracked all the way across the 3 cylinders on one side and cracked across 2 cylinders on the other :OMG: shocking damage in my opinion!! some hours of work later lol it wouldnt run properly,rattling its head in,so noticed no oil was getting up top,so stripped sump off and guess what!!! red arrows point out the probs,sump badly bashed inside the sump.. oil pump housing snapped,and oil pump drive snapped... housing in block of the oil pump drive,snapped... well that was 2 days ago,and ive put the sump ,oil pump,and oil pump drive out the broken engine in,and its fired up and revving beautiful,let the rebuild begin!!! :D :D :D

ive had scirocco,delorean and old porsche ,always correcting scirocco though thats the most common one!!

im still here,3 rados sitting outside now,2 valvers and a vr project,sunny Hamilton lol

awesome build ,totally respect the effort put into this ,early silver valvers for the win!!!

delivery :clap: :clap: :clap: :D :D :D

lovely looking rado mate,best colour too!! :salute:

oh well,back to the drawing board,got the call from the garage and the block is cracked on this vr,just my run of bad luck again,looking for an engine,loads of 2.8s for sale but not really what i want,see what happens i s'pose.id just forked out on another set of alloys again doh

well after a quick investigation,the head gasket is shot,all emulsified,the mechanic i bought it off,obviously knew,he started it and said it wasnt running properly,but i saw the crack in the coilpack arcing so didnt check further doh,it must have been gone for a bit coz the white sludge in the engine didnt just happen.i towed it home coz of no tax or mot ,so didnt drive it,ce la vie! anyways save the pennies and put it in somewhere to get fixed. had a go at the alloys,dismantled them and did some refurb work,1 down 3 to go,im gonna put my tt comps(kept them from my mk3 vr6) on it for meantime,just polishing them back to standard,they got a bit nasty over the winter

yeah cat having a good sniff about them lol all my dubs and also have bora and mk2 golf gti just sitting out of view lol ive got it bad !!

missed my golf vr6 so much i bit the bullet and got me a rado vr6,needs a bit of work ,but its been resprayed,got a brand new stainless exhaust,and a set of lowering springs thrown in,also a set of alloys(sebrings 3 piece split rims which dont fit :uhm: )its sitting on various different size steel wheels lol,it has a running problem but i will investigate this week,defo needs a coilpack

problem sorted,new lift pump(intank) and the red wire on the 3 pin plug at the bottom of the dizzy was about to snap,a little solder and runs like a sweetie :D :D :D

the rado is a 1990 1.8 16v it starts and idles no problem,and revs up but as soon as put into gear to pull away ,it kangaroo hops all the time it wont drive smooth. the cutting out problem is sorted ,it was a tear in the air intake pipe,that has been replaced,also have checked rotar arm and dizzy cap,i have changed the ht leads also but the kangaroo hopping is just as bad

:clap: :clap: yeeaaah well done jenna,finally converted to the way of the rado :D picture opertunitys of the rados together :luvlove: its a good one for sure,great condition :clap:

jenks mate lets do it bro!!!!!

oooh shiiiineeey,i like that you can see each others wheels on the bodywork nice one nikki

wahey another one mate you are dedicated to the cause,is this called' the goony' ref the reg? :D

this is mine...

cheerz guys still gutted today,just need to get along to another and stay till the end ill be checking that thread right now,cheerzmatey!!

very nice,if there is a car that suits borbet a's then its a rado,im biased of course but i defo think its true!! 8)

they are mazda rx-7 and they are a nightmare to fit,so still not done yet,im told the mx5 ones are a straight fit. cant believe what happened last night,went along to a wee cruise for halloween,fast car mag was there,a few nice cars but mostly cheese,i hung about for a few hours,a couple of people came over and said they thought my car was smart,but after hanging about i got fed up so i left. ive only gone and been told today, that my car won best car of the show,£250 detailing work and pics in fast car,..but coz i wasnt there they had to give the prize to someone else,a wee bit gutted i must say :(
