Polished TT Comps look lovely on a MK3 with a sensible drop. Some nice dailies on this thread, I must be going weird and turning to the dark side.
I'm loving all these Diesel conversions -- Trying to convince my mate to get a mk3 and bang a TDI in it spot on!
Mk3 TDI for the daily grind, Mk2 20v for the weekend = Win. * * Well, it will do when the 20v is finished...
Not its current state, but pretty much! Just got to 77k miles in it too. It now has a deep VR splitter and black vw badge Plans are: Polished TT comps (Currently in the garge being refurbed by hand, and if anyone has ever done this they also deserve a medal, what a sole destroying job it is!!!) Still need two more tyres, and then all four tyres mounting, will probably wait until March time, by the time I have finished. I have Chrome interior door pulls to fit, looking at changing the Alpine headunit to a Sony one more like the original, I dont like the fact the Alpine is Silver! I have lupo gearknob, which needs the inside drilling out so that it will sit lower, as I dont want to cut the gear stick down. Momo race steering wheel coming soon, think I will be happy with the inside then, apart from the contiued hunt for black leather highline door cards. I have delocked door handles to go on, just want to renistate the drives door pin before doing this, for when I get locked out. Upgrading the factory speakers, and building a custom sub box so its in the rear panel. I am going to put the orginal headlights back on, possibly with black internals. Then its poly bush time, and fix the ABS before the July MOT.
If mine get anywhere near those I wil be amazed, they were pretty badly corroded, have got halfway through one, and was tempted to get the primer out and spray the sodding things! Did he paint between the spokes, or leave that? Really miss the Leon, and was gutted when I sold it! and the price I got for it too, cant even get a base model for what I sold that for over a year ago! My girfriend just wanted a new car, and the part ex valuation of 1200 was criminal, so I just put it up for sale and sold it the same day for 1500. was worth so much more!
ARE YOU INSANE!!!! Having said that i'm selling mine Clicky: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1459161.htm However if she does not sell soon i'll be putting her standard and using the mods for my Engine conversion for the Golf
WOW!! i just though... i still have my old golf ball gear knob somewhere!!! Let the build commence lol
lol... fair enough! bargain and a half if you ask me Still i'm sure it'll go on for a good many years to come yet! and you have amk3 now so its not all bad!
Yeah, he painted between the spokes. That pic was at All Types last year, but you`ll have seen it at all the major shows in `09.
I break mk3s so got loooaaaads of spares, storage is my problem. Dont think i will be selling bits off my valver tho
oooo!!! have you got an ABF flywheel, Drive shafts, engine mounts + box mounts and (is the box cable or hydraulic... and whats the 1.4 as i've not picked her up yet??) possibly also need selector + cables too??? think thats it for the 1.8t to go in... oh and possibly a rad and thats all i need
Sorry not broke a 16v yet only 8v and just about sold all my engine parts... Saw your mk3 for sale, very tidy but overpriced imo So your putting and 1.8t in it are you, nice base for that. Are you converting to ABS? Edit 1.4 clutch is cable
