Blackberry 20vt

Recommended Posts

I picked this one up around a month ago from Karmannski

It is a 95 2.0 16v in fairly good condition, especially the interior. Just a bit of bodywork to sort out but nothing that detracts from the car.

 

Since collecting the car it's just sat in the workshop whilst I've been sorting any niggles and fitting some other parts.

My Borbets are on replacing the original wheels with winter tyres

I've replaced the knackered glass with blue tint, still heated

The bonnet catch was not fitted and with sheared bolts, now refitted

My vdo gauges I bought about five years back have finally seen daylight, all wired in and working well

10mm hubcentric spacers on all round to get get a bit of clearance for the Brembo stoppers

Slow progress due to work and holiday, but 90mm splitter on, new tyres fitted and rolled out of the workshop for the first time since I picked it up

I've been in the workshop sorting out the ride height today

The front arches are 585mm from the ground and the rears are 590mm. It's looking fairly low and I think I may have to roll the arches

thanks for the comments. What would you like to know?

 

Just wondering where you got your lamin-x from as I'm thinking of doing mine after seeing yours.

A company called Funk Motorsport. Service was good and the lamin x will look after the lenses well

Thanks Luk, next on the list is to sort the bodywork in places, figure out the abs fault (hard to do when I'm not driving the car yet) and get the alignment sorted. Currently the front wheels are on maximum negative camber

I'm just biding my time until my 20v is ready. Wil focus on some bodywork next up

Red rears are the looking great. Do you know where i can purchase from, or do i have to customise existing?

 

These are standard lights with red lamin-x over them, I've had them for years and recently found them in a box. The film is pretty good but there are a few creases on the edges where the corner of the lens is. Not noticeable unless you are up close and looking right at them. I'll probably get them professionally sprayed at some point
