looking good stan hope andy has done as good a job of mine, oh an where did you get your battery cover from?

 

I was at PSI today, saw your car there, think the 1.8T is now in!

[neil20vtc 0]

yeah its been in for a bit (the engine) just had trouble with bits not turning up plus there has only been andy there the past two weeks as the guy who does all the servicing has been on holiday so its taken a bit longer than he thought

Is it the BAM 225 BHP engine? Hope is doing it for a good price ;)

[neil20vtc 0]

yep its the 225 engine but should be pushing 285+ bhp by the time its finished its booked to go on the rollers next week so we will see, and yep did it for a good price he managed to squeeze my invoice through before he had to go vat registered

[Stan 24v 0]

Cool.

 

Where you getting it rollered? Is he adding a custom-code chip to it for the power increase?

[PhatVR6 0]

ditch the engine cover, paint the manifold to match the car, polish the rocker cover, it'll look lush

[Stan 24v 0]

I was thinking along those lines anyway ;)

 

Just need something to cover the leads, as they look sh*t :x

Some new pics of my clean interior, new Handbrake gaiter, new grille and colour coded handles 8)

 

Oh yeah, colour coded my script badge, and made myself a 24v badge from a VW 20v and 1.4 badge ;)

How much is andy paying you for the advertising?

[Phil K 0]

Looking very sweet - fighting jealousy ;)

[RADO.001 0]

looking good mate, where did you get the handbrake cover from?

[Stan 24v 0]

He's paying loads for the advertising ;)

 

Got the handbrake gaiter Here

 

Forgot to add, I painted the front light surrounds to match the grille too, looks very subtle in a dark colour 8)

[ZippyVR6 0]

Just looks so right,

 

Love the fact that you have totally revamped the car but left the wheels as they are, Top choices. Is that red lighter suround froma passat? if so which one?

[Stan 24v 0]

Its from a SEAT Toledo iirc. I got it off one of the guys on here, who got it from a scrappy.

 

Thanks for the comments too guys, glad she looks good. Need a few bits doing to get her right, but will get there. Got a quote to remove some dings at Tatton today, normally £40 per panel, and I need 4 doing so thats £160 :shock: But he said he'd do it for £100, and come to me to do it too 8)

[Stan 24v 0]

:lol:

[Stan 24v 0]

Thats what Andy told me about yours today, and KT said it drives like a bag of nails!!! :lol:

[ardandy 0]

She didn't drive it, although he did briefly and said a diff suspension and new bushes to replace the worn ones would make it feel like a different car!

 

Told me £1000 would sort out all probs with the engine (blue smoke overrun)

[Stan 24v 0]

:lol: I was only kidding mate ;)

 

Mine needs new rear axle bushes too :(

[ardandy 0]

Bout £200!

[Stan 24v 0]

Yeah I know, not the cheapest job in the world :shock:

[neil20vtc 0]

Where you getting it rollered? Is he adding a custom-code chip to it for the power increase?
