Havent posted for a while, not too much has been done to be honest, just little touches here and there

finally got 20mm spacers int he front, and 165/50s, its rubbing like crazy on fast corners, but after i get the arches rolled, i will need 25mm spacers for the front


next, i saw 'cornishdrummer' had a nice set of gaiters made, so i got some done with green stitching, cant see too well in the pic, but they look good in the flesh


also got white LED strips in the footwells and a LED interior dome light, will get a pic up soon

heres a rear end shot in Chris' (lowfoon) garage when he fitted the footwells


and just a pic to see how it looks against other cars on the road




this pic has made me realise, i really do need a bigger car, im quite a big guy, and my car is tiny lol. so i may be on the lookout for a mk2 gti or a Bora :p

Cheers Ben lol it does look like a range rover doesn't it! think i might hold on to it for a while, but definitely got my eye out for a new, bigger project

That picture makes me smile looks good!

You have done one hell of a job transforming this car in a relatively short space of time, fair play it looks top class.

What car do you have in mind as your next project?

[cornishdrummer]

Looks great. Loving the gaiters the green stitching looks very smart.

well iv been looking at a 1.8T Bora which will get the whole air ride treatment eventually :p
or a mk2 gti 8v. but when it comes to the mk2, im gonna be very picky ( has to have big bumpers, has to be either Oak Green or BBM, mileage, condition etc) so i might end up waiting ages to find my perfect one.
bora is most likely...I really want full electrics lol

[6N2 GTI 00]

Bora's can be made to look amazing with the right styling, they are also extremely well priced when compared to Golf's & Passats.

If you do go for the 1.8T then I would go for the 180bhp model rather than the 150bhp.
Its got a higher spec all round and cost more or less the same to buy.

MK2 Golf would also be sweet although 16V would be better than 8

seen this the other week by west wickham

[cornishdrummer]

Your handbreak gaitor did u stick to the lower part of your handbreak ?

[RS_GT]

[cornishdrummer]
