studentgti 0 Posted October 12, 2007 Hi all I posted agggeesss ago saying hi as a newbie and said I'd get some pics up - only just got round to doing it but here we go: It started life as a CAT C write-off we got from the scrappy when me and a mate went to buy a VR engine for my Golf (Came home with a 2.0 16V Rado instead...). It was a bit of a bargain, only panel damage and all the electrics etc. worked fine. Got some new panels sorted off ebay and sprayed up, did all the work between me and a mate. In the end it needed a new bonnet (went with the older style one because I prefer the look), wing and slam panel and a headlight the scrappy threw in with the car. Then fitted the Porsche D90's, and slammed it seriously low on some H&R coilies, fitted the debadge grill. After a new cambelt and a good service she was ready to go, and runs beautifully (especially considering it was sat for a year). Just done over 94k which isn't too bad for a '92. The ride is a bit too harsh but I think the overall look is pretty good, got a few more mods planned in the pipeline... Apologies for the crappy phone pics! Here's how it looked when we bought it: And here's how it looks after a few days of hard work: Comments welcome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 12, 2007 Well done for not parting it out or sending it off to the scapper! :) Looks like you did a top job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yorkshireone 0 Posted October 12, 2007 good work. Nice to see a car back on the road that would have been destined to rust in a forgotten corner of a forgotten scrapyard :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
studentgti 0 Posted October 13, 2007 Cheers The rest of it seemed too good to just let it go! And we wanted the experiance anyway, hadn't really played with panels before. Surprised at how easy it was to be honest - passed it's MOT and VOSA VIC the morning after we put it back together, tanked it up and drove it straight up the motorway from Kent to Manchester (where I'm at Uni). It didn't miss a beat...are there any local meets? I've seen one in Brum that seems to be the nearest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
