Guest Charley Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I got this a few months back and unfortunately it has a running problem and some other niggles that need sorting out but over the next few weeks they will be getting sorted. The car inside was really dirty too and needed a real good clean, hoovered most of it and it looks really different but unfortunately didn't get any pictures of when we done the front of the car. I will be treating the car to a 2.0L engine, gearbox, new clutch, new grill and number plate surround, a full valet and got another set of alloys to go on it. There will be other additions over the coming months depending on cash flow. It's already had new wishbones, new sunvisors, MK6 Recaros and a Mohair roof to replace the old torn vinyl one. Not long after we got it, wishbones had just been done and the wheels fitted Before and after hoovering back of the car and parcel shelf... After fitting the mohair roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allblue Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Very nice, can't beat an Imperial Blue cab, especially with the RS kit. You say you are replacing the grill, does it have an RS one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Body work looks real good mate, once you sort it out mechanically it will be a top cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Charley Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Thanks guys, Yeah it's RS rear bumper and side skirts, the spoiler that is yet to go on is an RS accessory one too. Unfortunately no I haven't got an RS grill yet, the grill that will be going on is a ghia one but it is getting sprayed Satin black to match the wheels that are going on the car. Once I find one and have the cash I will probably get an RS grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Charley Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 That was the main reason for gettin it Chaz, there isn't a spot of rust that we could find anywhere. Off to collect the engine and gearbox for it today, got a couple new tyres on order for the new wheels, will be looking at speakers tomorrow and will probably be next weekend now but need to get the spoiler to a bodyshop to get that repaired and resprayed. Oh I got given an aerial for free but not sure it's the right one, if I get a picture put up will anyone be able to tell me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
