came from ebay for 900 in the end only mods: polished manifolds, bbs lookylikeys, sony cd player engine has done 1800miles, everythings been replaced by new VAG stuff, by the chap, who is the parts manager at parkway vw in derby, swonderful, and in the colour i was after too more pics to follow...
"Jolfa buys decent car shocker, and spends more than 50 while doing it" Looks lovely mate, dont see many Silver 16vs about.
Absolutely sweet motor - and a great price too ! Good to hear that there are good deals to be had out there on eBay. You must be well chuffed !
Awesome buy - have you actually picked it up yet? Fit the ATS's and it'll look top - oh, and defo stick with the small bumpers, please that's 1800 miles - it had a rebuild with genuine VAG parts....Jolfa got a bargain!
few little probs so far: stereo turns off with the ignition and forgets all the stations, small water leak from the cyl head (which ive since told the chap about and he's sending me a new gasket FOC) the boot central locking doesnt work and i have a slow puncture (which isnt that slow at all.. nevermind) and the backbox exhaust rubbers have gone astray will all be fixed the next time i go to visit my old valver, have all my bits to go in; electric recaro's, half tints (or crystal m3's, undecided probably half tint), boge shocks, better electric window motors (these ones are veeerrrry slooowww) strut braces, all my stereo stuff, and even a tinted interior light thin 90 spec side strips.. then get some ats cups, will be lovely and yes, one thousand-eight hundred miles on the engine
thats what i was gonna say watch out for those kerbs now. whats the actual mileage on the clock? and is it as mint as it looks in the pics?
That is a nice piece of motor there. If he hasn't already, I'll give him till 10.30 on Wednesday morning
Hey dude - got one exactly the same myself. Saw yours on the bay - looked really good except i was put off by the rust around the windscreen and lower back panel..Good luck with it thou - quite a rare colour i think ive not seen many big window small bumper ones like ours.. Dan
join the yellow to the same place as the red i know.. i just havn't had time to do it yet rust will be sorted asap, cant have the window frame rusting through again... still undecided on big/small bumpers though, they're staying until i get roundto lowering it, but. i dunno.. also all my cars that have died had one thing in common (not the driver...) the headunit... so ive decided its cursedand will consiquently not be fitted in new car needs a name though...
been a busy little beaver lol, cant really tell, but its 40mmish lower, and the obvious, big bumpers, recaro's, and the less obvious no red band on grille, colour coded plinth, stereo is now in the centre console where i like it, tinted interior light ,my sub's in (no 6x9's etc though as they're shagged, the standard stuff is better) rear strut brace is in 16v lights, chinese door handles and fogs in the post, german plates soon, got the 90 spec arches and sills to go on, gl front lip for the back, full stainless system, door speakers, front strut all to be fitted havnt got round to that also have a corrado dash id like going in, but the clocks i fear could be a pain... i'll be after a rallye front and some ronal ls/ats cup/borbet c's soon... but im a bit poor at present...
