Vince mk2 20vT (Back! and with mods) wifes Exeo ST Sport and B6 Sline on 19s now

Just noticed your Mk4 is on an 05 plate!!

I thought they stopped making the Mk4 is 2003 ?

Looks nice though

And the Mk2 of course

 

Hatch could be had up to 04 if it was a really late one...the mk5 estate didn't come until 2006, so there may be some on a 55 or even 06 plate, it does get a few odd looks at shows though when folks clock the plate lol

 

Yea i bet lol

I do like the look of the estate Mk4's. You dont see many about either which is a good thing

 

Gave James the mk2 another wash and wax last night, after spending a full weekend on him for 2 weeks in a row, paint work has come up pretty good for 20 plus years, and a bit of blacking on the trim, some leather cleaner and a lot of feed and he looks pretty good!







Will hopefully get him out for a run this week, I was hoping to be out all week, but went to change the pas and alt belt last night, only to find the ones halfords supplied are way too small! Not impressed!

 

mk2 looks brilliant! great work over the last weekends what colour is it? Helious?

 

Looks good!! How do you like the 16v after having the 20v for so long?

 

Yeah it's Helios blue, as for a 16v vs 20v... The 16v is nippy.... But give it a cou

 

Yeah it's Helios blue, as for a 16v vs 20v... The 16v is nippy.... But give it a couple of years and I expect there will be a 20v in there! As once you have had the power it's hard to go back lol... But on the other hand at some point my bro will get bored and sell me back the 20v... But that could be a long way off!

 

Been looking for a set of period rims, and went and picked up a set of these this morning.

not my actual car..



mine are still in the darker silver colour, but look pretty clean. also mine have the centre caps still.

will be on next week.

 

Car looks fantastic Karl.
Very OE looking

 

Cheers very much, should be looking good for curby hopefully. Next thing I want is a vortex spoiler like on my old one so I can have a neat high level brake light, had too many people nearly run into the back of me over the years in old cars with out them!

 

Looking good

Clean and original!

 

Been a busy day.... And not one the purists will like lol.... New rims and suspension fitted, not fully settled yet and needs the heights checking and tracking doing, but here's a sneak peak.

 

Zender Turbos? Looks mint on those. Who cares what purists think. All reversible if you want. Looks great!!

 

Speed line turbines from a phase one clio, picked them up for a reasonable price without scene tax.

All I have done can be reversed... But he won't be for sale now for a while...but my bro has already said give it a year or so and he will swap me name for vince lol, so I'll have the beast back, and turn him into a fast road daily

 

Looks better than I would have thought, given the OEM status of the car.
Sometime ago a user called anton28 had these same wheels on a big bumper'd MK2 w/2.9VR6 and I did not think much if them.
Somehow, strangely, these suit this small bumper car

 

They are a early 90s wheel so quite period and seem to fit well with the car, don't think they will make me any faster round curby though lol

 

Ahhh yes. Very similar though.

Set the ride height today, and had the tracking set up, not fully happy with the mk3 top mount set up, so going back to the mk2 set up and camber bolts for a bit more up front.

Here's the pics, not been washed so not looking quite its best.

 

James went off to his new home back down south this weekend, another active cgti member who has taken on my original plan to restore him to show...

But the garage is not empty..... VINCE IS BACK!!!!!!

Plan is to evolve in to a more useable-stealth daily, reclying buckets up front, a rear seat back in for most of the time (cage is saved for tack days once sproglet is here..) and going to a 4 lamp set up up front.

I also plan to sort the towing eye set up properly, and redo the front bumper skin.. Then the g60 arches are going in favour of some normal ones so I don't have to run silly wide wheels to fill them.
