    I wasn't bothered about the games before they started. I'm gripped by it now! Absolutely incredible, the effort put in by the brits to win is inspiring to the country. Just think what could be achieved in the country if everyone lived and worked by those standards! Puts the benefit cheats all to shame!!!

     

    Congratulations to all the Team GB athletes.

    Hey guys,

     

    Thought I would put a few pics up of my van that I've given a twist of gti flavour. I've had 10 years of owning Golf gti's, I really wanted to own another but knew I needed to update my van for work. As a result, I felt I needed to give the van a little bit of a gti feel and look. Its not finished by any stretch of the imagination but a work in progress. I need a couple of red lines on the grill and to go lower with some GAZ. The Reimo 333 seat is going to be fitted by the end of next week.

     

    The van was bought as a 140bhp panel van. I spec'ed with Air-Con, Tailgate, Captains Chairs, Extra Battery, Appearance Pack, Trip Computer, Fogs, Sportline Alloys.

     

    Extras added so far-

    Dynamat, Insulation, Ply and Carpet, Ply floor with Altro, Rear Speakers, Reimo 333 seat with floor rails, Side opening windows in limo tint, 12v Sockets, LED lights in the roof and tailgate, my favourite- mk6 Golf gti check fabric on the seats and a check stripe down the roof lining, finished off with a steering wheel from a mk6 Golf R (ok not a gti but close enough!!!).

     

    Hope you like.

    Personally speaking, I like the shape of the mk5 loads more than the mk4. BUT you know the car and it has served you well. Would be difficult to jump ship and start again with another car. Would love an Edition 30 but would be a bit pricey compared to the mk4.

    i maybe in the market to sell a nugget 16v completly standard, except with a stainless exhaust system, some serious money has been spent on it, i sold it to my dad and he only uses it now and then, he may even be keen on a vr6? i can pm you my tel if you want a chat?

     

    Hi Alex,

     

    I've just re-read your thread about this one I see that I commented on it back a couple of years ago. This does sound like a very nice car and I think a chat could be in order :thumbleft:

    Someone just posted a tatty nugget project for sale for only £1k. Might be worth a look! Apparently it needs interior, door handles and locks plus a front grill and rear plinth.

     

    Tatty covers it but not for a grand for me! As agreed with the above, does need a load of work and has been sitting there for some time which causes issues in it's self. If the price became a bit more like the real value then it could be a possibility.

    Agree with Yan. That looks shagged to me and by the time your finished sorting it you could have bought yans car for WAY! less money :-)

     

    That could be a very true statement right there! A G60 would be awesome.

    Cheers buddy,

     

    Did see this on ebay, would want a more standard car. I have looked at Yandards on ebay also, would be a super purchase. Would have to sell mine first though for that one, thats why I've been thinking of someone wanting to change to a VR.

    Hey guys,

     

    I've been thinking for a while now that I would really to own a funky yellow C :thumbleft:.

     

    I do love the VR noise and cruise but would like to own one of these as some point. It would be easy to do a swop plus or money back but we would have to see what if anything is offered and whether you would want to go for a VR6 or not.

     

    A G60 would be the first choice but wouldn't shy away from a valver either.

     

    What's out there all?

    I live down the road from the guy.

     

    Got told by a friend last night that he is breaking the car after getting shunted.

     

    Sounds genuine to me... But using your pic

     

    I've no problem if it is a genuine ad, even if it does invite people to ask about parts possibly outside ebay.

     

    Have a word with him to sort it out.

    Could you not just bid in the thread ? Each bid has to be higher than the last post , and a time cut of point for the last bid , who ever has the last post and bid wins the item

    Good idea and that would keep everything nice and clear so everyone can see where the bids are at

     

    That's kind of what I had in mind once I knew the software wasn't in place to display an auction. Seems a simple and clear way of doing it. Let us know if its something you guys would be interested in doing?

    How does this arch look to you? I need to dig it out of the basement and check it over. I fully expect it to be good like the pic.
