[samm_cvr6 0]

In all seriousness tho, this is an example of why I dont want to sell my C, because someone will prob get an absolute bargain and prices seem to be so low right now..good luck with the project tho dude. :D

jenks, Saw your car that day at knockhill mate looks mean! Mine was the black rado sat next to icy's mk3 golf. Must organise a scottish meet.

£1300! Amazing - the millage on the VR should be no problem as mine has done 229k miles now and is driving beautifully - i got it off ebay for £2500 - but urs in even cheaper - good move, cant really go wrong at that price - do you do much millage - is it a daily driver?

[jenks 0]

Begining:

 

for just now:

 

 

So 2 replacement wings and drivers door getting sprayed along with front bumper and bonnet with a machine polish at the end. As it sits just now it'l get a good clean then undersealed before fitting the coilovers! Loads more happening along with a few things getting fixed!

 

Also made a start on the alloys,

 

All ths done in -5, sore back and cough! But big shout out to Kris for the help.

 

And btw the cars got to be ready by march 24th as its then driving to Germany for a few laps of the ring for my 21st b'day celebrations!! :shock: :lol: 8)

Crikey! Good on you! Got nothing but admiration for those who are brave enough to take work on their cars on by themselves. I've always been too chicken! :)

advice

 

take it easy on your first couple of laps - be a shame to fuck up such an ace car ;)

[GIXXERUK 0]

as Jim, said .. respect !

[selbekk 0]

jenks, did you ever get my steering wheel? Nice looking project you got there, kinda spooky to see a rado in bits like that!

 

remember, if you just change the bushes, suspension, motor and transmission, you'll have a car that feels even better than new!
