Okay so the Dub rides thread's getting a bit messed up and no one really knows what i've done so far unless you've read through 200+ pages :D so i'll try and keep this up to date and a little less cluttered.

Build Thread: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=153797.0

The MK3 Golf Estate started life as a 1.8 8v 150k on the clock but was well looked after by previous owners so still ran spot on.

How i bought her, Coil overs up front and shocks and springs on the back.



Door handles colour coded and coil overs all round.





Painted wheels.





Wasn't quite low enough.



165/40/16 on 7J









20mm Spacers








1.8 8v Coming out.







VR6 2.8L






45mm rear spacers.



Seized and left for 4 months, no wheels, interior, engine, etc.





Seized VR6 coming out.




Everything swapped onto new head and block VR6.



Looking more like a car.



Engine spacers.









Bay repainted and VR6 back in.





G60 Brake upgrade.






Got the G60 steels banded 15x8 and 15x9.












195/45/15 on 9J.





Pulled and smoothed arches.















Basic overview of whats gone down since i've owned the car, it's a lot more in depth in my Build thread but basicly where it is at the moment, the VR isn't starting again.. i'm thinking either, earths (bought some earth cable today) battery (also bought another today) or the starter which i am still to test.

Any feedback good / bad can be left on my Build thread at the top of this page! :)
