daves16v 1 Posted December 18, 2006 Holding onto the Passat till about Feb, gives me time to sort stuff on the Rado. Yep very frustrating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Louie Lungbubble 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Know the feeling. Mine's sat in the garage calling my name, but I have to walk past it and use the new (temporary) barge. Heartbreaking. It's like turning your back on an old faithful dog that's whimpering for a walk :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted April 20, 2007 Just a quick update on where I am with this. I'm please to say it should be ready for the road 2nd week in May. Just need to get it mot'd and have some paint done then insure it. It still needs stuff doing but it can be done anytime. I'll post up some pics when it's ready. No sneaky previews today I'm afraid.

daves16v 1 Posted May 5, 2007 Rado had the MOT today, went straight through without any problems :D :D How's that for a 14 year old car with 140k on the clock and bought for £1200. Needless to say I'm well chuffed. Got the insurance sorted today too so if nothing goes wrong with the tax I'll be in it Wednesday - yippee :D sorry if I sound like a big kid :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daves16v 1 Posted May 9, 2007 Got the chance to snap it today in work car park. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 9, 2007 Looks great mate :) Got the same idea with the badging on the rear! Great minds and all that. I'm running the same setup on the front grille too with regards normal late grille + black VW badge.. snapsy's again! Any plans suspension wise?

daves16v 1 Posted May 9, 2007 Any plans suspension wise? I thought someone might comment on that. Yes just need to let my account recover, as usual :roll: Thanks for the comments Jim, I'm happy with the way it's turned out. I've spent about £1065 in the 5 months I've had it, the big money going on the alarm, alloys and sorting the rear bumper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daves16v 1 Posted July 18, 2007 A little update - I've started brightening up the engine bay with Polished Stainless bonnet prop and the tube from the ISV (no it's not a shower riser :lol: ). I've got a few more plans but I'll keep them to myself for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted September 2, 2007 Another update with more Stainless added, most of the parts have been made by myself. First interior shot added. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
