Cheque book or Home made Show cars

I just said I preferred home-built cars - and IMO Mark's is FAR from home-built. If you want to have it built by someone then that's your thing, but if your parents bought it for you, and you've only stuck bits on..... not home-built.

 

Seem to be stuck to your guns on the myth in your head that my parents paid for my car! Jealous dick!

Not bothered about it being home built or not, but it has been home built, I've built it to what it is today, at home! simple maths... Home + building car as it is today = Home built

Mine were both built by VW

Everything else is just changes, done by the owner to their preference.

I have done alot of work on both my golfs by myself and also had work done for me.

I class a kit car as proper home built car, changing exterior styling on a car that is already built aint really making it home built IMO

 

what about cars with major drivetrain swaps, they home built?

 

im happy to say mines built by 800gs

 

Yep as you are bascially rebuilding the whole car from a shell

 

I have the article right beside me. "Birthdays come and go"..... did you put your own money into the trust fund for some reason every birthday?
"The car has been in and out of Type K Styling more times than Mark cares to mention" too....

So you bolted on some wheels, lowered it, and stuck on some mirrors? That isn't "Home built". TT's car is "Home built", along with many others on here. Yours is mostly done by others, with the easy bits bolted on by you along the way.

 

Wudn't be suprised if I heard,
'Probably not Tim as your garage isn't part of your house and the car was painted in Germany!' lol

 

home built or cheque book built dont mean anything to me
its just verbal diorhea(sp)

in the extreme that if some 1 buys a car and sits there with a brew saying "yeah throw that engine in,stick them wheels on,stereo,suspension,that colour....

does it matter? its all their choice of car and their choice of mods...
i couldnt care a sh!te!

Depends whether you did it yourself or just signed the cheque.....

 

Tims installing it himself and i salute him!!!

 

That'll be a home built, then...... I'm shit at welding too.......

 

lol
Magazine articles dooo tend to be exagerated, but guess u wudn't have experience of that..

I had stuff painted there! Yes, most money I got on ocassions was put into my account purely for a car!

I'm 19, done a rear disc conversion, front brake conversion, fitted new body panels, smoothed bumpers, preped my car, maintained my car, sourced EVERY bit on the car mainly by myself, customised bits to be total one off's, managed to get my mk3 lower than anyone elses on equally sized wheels by myself and making it usable for eveyday business by myself, but you still think, my car has been DONE mainly by others for the simple fact it was sprayed elsewhere!

What a w**ker you are!

You must have a very interesting life to actually read thru my feature to try and slip me up! haha, love it!

 

i cant even solder let alone weld!

oh what fun mapping will be! That i am paying for, 2 days of dyno
time

 

The magazine happened to be second down in the pile beside me......
Sourced bits? Fitted new body panels? Maintained your car? My, you should set up a factory building cars......

 

Im going to have a go at welding soon

Most probably set fire to my MK1, but got to give it a go

I have mastered spraying now I feel, so on to learn something new

 

Maybe I shud!

Maybe my parents car buy me the bits to build them!

Then maybe I can rub my luck in your face even more with the money I make!

 

gettting your mum and dad to buy u cars is a waste of time, wait a few
years and borrow 60k to buy a flat instead

 

please no!!!! [:^(] step away from the welder!!!
