Right as it states above i ( I meaning mostly a mate of mine) am currently taking the engine out of my old MK3 valver and putting it into a new shell. Had a Dragon green 16v that I loved but as the body work got worst I tried to hide it by plasti dipping the car. Came out Okish but missed having something to polish and make shiny.
This is the ABF when it started out green:

I currently work at a Vauxhall dealership and yes I agree Vauxhalls are sh!tty (My Misses owns a sporthatch) but I can across a little gem of a trade in. A R-Reg mk3 Colour Concept 8v with 120,000 miles! Now dealerships are known for kicking people in the plums for P/X but in this case I wanted to do the deal as I wanted their golf more than I wanted to sell them a car.
This was it on the day it was brought to the showroom.
How much do you think I paid?

The donor shell looks good, my guess is £300 - £400, that must be about its chop in value in the little book?

I heard you swapped it for sexual favours to the previous owner.How is big Bob anyway? :grin:
-
Considering you are a middle aged man now Gary you humour is that of a child under the age of 12.
And no sexual favours were given.
Car books like this.....

looks fresh dude

Thanks Dave, i hear you 20v is all in now :)
Next was to start talking bits of one golf and putting them on the other. When i started to look at the CC it had a few things that i had not relised like the fact the coilovers look less than 6 months old! first thing was to put the TT Comps on to make it look a little better. 8v engine looked a little tired so that had to go and a new garage for it to live in while waiting to change the engines over.

Yep the mk2 is all legal now,
You are a tt comp whore!
-
Maybe so...but this is all being updated from the past!! the TT Comps are now or were to property of yourself. As i know long have them!
If i am honest i think i miss them as i think they are one of the nicest wheels for a mk3, but o well change can be good.
-
ah i thought they were a different set.
yeah the mk2 is all up and running now, well it was till i drowned the ecu! hopefully getting the new one back from mapping today
