good find, be nice to see what the rear is like at the mo.
It's almost as if you've just bought this, but you've had it a fair while now. :grin:
You gay. :grin: Just get it up to what it is now, stages if you have the pictures.
Next came the DIY rust repair, never done anything like this before!
Area in question:

Treated the rust and filled:

Then painted, sanded, painted and laquered:

Not a bad result if you ask me! :afro:

So you have filled a area on the car that should be welded for strength. :shocked:
Mot fail bad bad move.
Looks good man! :cool:
Looking good dude :cool:
Dan
looks decent that matey, one of my fave colours for the mk 3 too
lucky bar steward having no MOT's hahahaha, keep ya eye on the repaired section tho as the rust may return, could really do with a section welding in when you can do buddie
plenty of hard work there mate well done!
bit risky with the sill but as a temp measure :D
not a fan of your plastics but i like em black but if your happy then cool!!
Looks nice!
No offence, but think that if the trim was a bit shiny'er it would look a lot better, not too keen on the matte finish :undecided: Sorry.
Other than that it looks sweet, and like the bay a lot!
white bay :cool:
you'll be pleased to hear what colour im gonna do my new wheels wherry :lipsrsealed: :grin:
Did you take the inlet manifold off to paint it?

Just what I was about to say! :cool:
They will be expensive lol :D
i got a set of new Hella all-red rear lights.... fitted to my car. Had them sitting around for ages waiting to be put on. I love them!
:afro: :cool:
Had that same system fitted to my mk3 sounds awesome with an induction kit too :drool: :drool: :drool:
Get the Powerflex ones from Venom, they are excellent!

I've heard good things about them, but i'm more then happy with the sound and looks of the Scorpion :cool: Just that picture it looks funny! :undecided:

Think he meant Powerflex bushes. And yes, I can vouch for them ... especially for the rear bushes, they are very hard wearing! and the fact it costs so much to change the rears at a garage, your better of fitting the best quality, first time round!
Nice bit of kit... yeah thats gonna sound awesome, induction on those motors is sweet!
Missed the post man yesterday, so went to collect today...this is my next bit of goodies to go on...

Hopefully it will give me some time to tidy up the engine bay as well. Get the VW badge painted on the engine cover. It is all colour coded at the moment but you can't see it in the pictures!
Will be on tomorrow and going to sound awesome! Might polish the TB whilst i'm at it??
More updates to follow tomorrow!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
Oh on another note, popped it off the limiter with the new exhaust on and a little bit of sex wee came out!

Yes but yours is a 3dr cannot see it looking right to be honest.
Colour scheme is all wrong on the one posted above, but it does look good in 3 door :cool:
Here's the scheme VW followed:
Colour 1: rear quarters, roof, sills
Colour 2: front bumper, front doors, front mirrors
Colour 3: bonnet, rear doors [not applicable for 3 door], rear bumper
Colour 4: front wings
The rear hatch, from what I've seen in pictures, matched either the front wings or the front doors, so colour 1 or colour 2.
The grille usually matched the front wings or the rear quarters, so colour 1 or colour 4.
It seems a bit anal but the method they used made all the colours on the official harlequins really stand out without anything looking out of place or randomly painted. It works really well. Hope that helps :smiley:

Thats low mileage Jamie! I do like 15k a year. I'm trying cut down though lol!
Harlequin time yet?
ah just do a quick hash with cans for a laugh!... Matte/Satin Harlequin???
i suppose the time consuming and hard bit is finding the panels!ah just do a quick hash with cans for a laugh!... Matte/Satin Harlequin???
:shocked: No ways! the panels on there are really clean so don't want to p!ss about with them :grin: New panels and a satin spray may be in order :cool:
If you get a load of spare panels then you can mess around with them as much as you like, good shout. Can't wait to see your take on a harlequin Golf!
I take it the VR isn't a daily? Or do you just not have enough roads there? :D
That's why I can't wait, will be different. I like different.
Maybe I just need to cut down on mileage lol.
Mmmm, liking that idea. I might steal it and make it my own...what even though youve just painted your car!?
that looks fapping awesome!!another angle
Damn!! same colour car too?? :shocked: :sad:
That would have been awesome if it was! But i didn't go to Edition :grin: It's awesome that you thought it was though, when i do get my arse in to gear about going to a show, i'll look out for you :afro:

Complete interior strip out to commence shortly as i want to tackle any hidden demons (If any) all arches and side skirts will coming off too! :grin:Blasphemy.
Will also probably be ordering new coilovers very shortly as the suspension on at the moment is a fixed height and is too low. Hopefully i will still have a drivers wing after 6 months of rubbing! :grin:

In practise that really doesn't work.
By the time you've got red and green tint, you get orange but it's just dangerously dim.
all depends if you use standard or upgraded bulbs :smiley:
The top caps and maybe the strut brace too would be cool but I think the samco hoses would be too white. White in the bay looks best when contrasted against other colours. Liking the rocker cover in white :afro:

:drool: I cannot describe how much I love that exhaust note!IfWhen I get a VR6 my fuel bill is going to be huge simply because I won't be able to resist gunning it at every opportunity just to hear that noise! :cool:
Sounds spot on, not chavy.. just right. :cool:
*trouser accident*
Sounds awesome!! :drool:
After much deliberation i will Hopefully be getting some SPAX RSX Coilovers fairly soon. :smiley:
Baggy trousers sirThanks for noticing, Mr Caistor :cool: :grin:
Sounds sweet :wink:
Nice one :afro:
nice going with the collies, have you got a full set of 4?
I remember you not being too happy with the front and trying to think of ways to bring it up a bit... ah well, this should sort it for now then.nice going with the collies, have you got a full set of 4?
Nope, just the front. That's fine though as the front is too low and the arches scrape. I do have a SPAX PSX kit with adjustable dampering on that drops 60mm all round at the moment. Will just leave those on the back for now :smiley:

HT Leads maybe? Not sure if it would make much difference but a set of decent quality ones can look good too :)
Hopefully i will be hitting up the JKM RR day in Portsmouth! (10 hour boat ride!! :grin:)
So for this i will be giving the car a little service and tidy.
New Spark Plugs.
Oil + Oil Filter (run it with engine flush first?)
Fuel Filter (performance item?)
Alternator Belt (Squeeking) (tighten it?)
Gear Box Oil
Coolant flush and top up
Possibly a new battery..
Clean up all intake internals or as much as you can get to?
Anything else anyone can suggest?

So far i have only changed the fuel filter, it's fapping cold!!
Bought Oil and Oil filter, engine flush and coolant flush.
Need to get the gearbox sorted as it's started leaking as i scraped it from running too low!! :grin:

Scary... :shocked:Different Topic....
Are you still planning to "rainbow" this car?
Unfortunately not at the moment :sad:
I do however plan to go full on illimunious on it's ass! (With spare panels)
i regret using the spray tint on mine, just bloomed and looks crap!!
gonna try lazys film next!!
Damn!.... I don't want that to happen to mine!.. you were lucky with that sump plug, did you see Dans!? :shocked:
Looking good bud. Thanks for the pic upload, handy to get feedback :)
How'd you get on with fitting it?
If you want, I can bring some along on the 5th bud, can try and tint the part you want on your lights and see how it looks.
Wanna see your car in the sun when your done. I'll bring the sunglasses :cool:

I never fitted it, my mate did. I guess it was pretty easy :cool:
I want to tint the rear lights, getting some CL lights so i can spray tint them red. Unless you can get some tint film that would be better?
I'm all exited to see your car! make sure you tell Khare so he can update the list :D
I'll be happy about coming if I can get the bodywork finished :lipsrsealed: :cool:
Yer, can bring some red testers along (different shades). Just the orange indicator I'm guessing? Might be tricky with the curve on the lights. I'll use a different material I reckon.
:)
if ya can do a tint for that then itlle look like im bulk buying tints off you later this year :D
just had a quick peek. white engine details look good

Nah, i have a BMC CDA induction kit, Jetex decat pipe and a cat back Scorpion exhaust system. Before it went there it had an oil change, fuel filter change, coolant flush topped with G12 plus and just cleaned the breather pipes.

Look forward to pics f5
Sigs can be maximum 500 pixels wide and 150 pixels high, sorry...forum rules. :evil:
Might have some trim I can send over mate, will have a look through my stuff tomorrow :)
Looking better like that, has it come up nice after a good clean?
I've got smooth 3dr trim you can have :) if i can dig it out it's yours if you cover postage :D
Dan
Cool, hope it cleans up good. :smiley:
Good news on not finding any rusty treats beneath there. Im about to do the same to mine and picked up a full CL trim set from the breakers last weeken, i just hope mine is solid and undamaged like yours - fingers crossed. :huh:
Will and does look loads better without the arches.
Better performance, more insulation :rolleyes: :D
It's still pretty bad!

So what is with this Colour Code lark?
So much loving going on in here! :grin:
Hmmm colour coding eh, does this mean you are picking a colour that goes with the car or down the route you had before with everything the same colour as the car?
Oooh.. sounds good... Yeah i dont mind being a part of some loving but then that depends on how far it goes!
Looking forward to seeing what your plans are :afro:
What wheels you going for ??
What you planning to do with them a wild colour maybe ?? :smug:

Looking good.... wheels suit it well. Put lifters on mine for like 5 minutes but then I got the Quattro bonnet so am undecided what I'm doing in this area at the moment.
Of course, MOT is always on my mind, have to think of cosmetics to entertain the mind..
After pic looks loads better, wheels sit so much better without the plastic arches.
Excited!? You bet your ass I am.. So much more to do to it yet but far better/easier when it's rolling.
Nice mk3, are you heading down the Vento front and LENSO BSX's?
cool, didn't think you were going to copy... not that my opinion means much but never been keen on a Vento front, always makes me think the mk3 starts looking more like a saxo with one.
Looks tons better dude :cool: roll on june, yes i'm still coming ;) x
remember that green one... very 90's :grin:
go satin black mate! :afro:
RTech day :(
Love that first champagne coloured one.
You suck :( that is all.Yeah but he does it so well! :kiss:

Don't be a dick, Wherry.
:kiss:

Just get on with making the Mk3 better than that.
You'd miss having 6 cylinders too much anyway.
NOISE.
Although... a Mk3 VRS Synchro would be ultimate cool.
haha thanks guys, nice to see people swaying my decision!
but come one, look at it!

I was itchin to say something but wanted you to enjoy it. :kiss: Although my thoughts on the October time redesign will remain silent until it happens. :lipsrsealed:

How do you think i feel Dom? I came back after a couple of days away.. saw a load of new pages got all excited expecting at least something related to the car with some sort of useful input. How wrong was i? VERY! Talk about sh!tty white walled tyres and wooden exterior trim... :grin: cnuts
Rubbish, what happened?
Probs just got too hot with the welding then
Rather than getting a CL rear screen through the insurance wouldn't it have been cheaper and easier just to smooth that red one from your mate, or did that have to be fitted to put the car back on the road straight away?
If you really, really lucky one £60 fine ticket!
If not lucky 3 tickets or even a trip to Court!

You are correct sir! Got them with the electric motors too. before they go on the car they will be getting sprayed, burgundy! I also need to spray my arial and bumper inserts too.
I would love to the latter, but the cans aren't burgundy on the outside :grin:
So where are pics of these new mirrors then? :grin:
Bit like my sub then!
Not got any photoshopped pics of em then?
I bet you can get your Burgundy from Halfords! :angry:
Oh hang on do they a Halfords over there?
I think these are gonna suit.

Yep agreed :afro:
I think they will suite quite well
I really like those mirrors :cool: Where did you get them?
Oh same as me then!
Except I have to go to main stealer and the cans are tiny!
Cant wait to see these painted and on!
Who will be Mr. Burberry then? :grin:
electric or non?

Haven't seen a set of these fitted for a long time, thought they died in the 90's... your car is 90's so should look good. Good luck with the wiring but they shouldn't be too hard.
Whats wrong with the 90's?
Do you still have the burgundy tint on your headlights btw?
Could you not fabricate a small plastic cover plate to conceal the inner edge of the overhanging mirror?
Looks good, don't see this mod done anymore so makes a change and brings back some 90 styling for you if that's what you like. Yeah what is with that massive overlap, are they made for a mk3?

Nice shot's but do you think you're not just setting yourself up for a lot of wise cracks.. I mean come on, you've parked it on a ramp to launch boats for fecks sake!

Boooooooo! Conforming to the ordinary!!!!!!! :wink:
That will look lovely dude! You should definately do the headlining also in my opinion :smiley:
Love it :cool:
Personally I'd leave the plinth on or try and fit one of those smooth ones :wink:

Already made contact with Cult Society a while back about one of them. Not sure if they will ship to Jersey as they will only ship to places that are part of the EU, or so i was led to believe.

Get it shipped to someone in the UK who you trust to ship it on to you?
If you want a smooth plinth, why don't you just plastic weld and fill your one?

I am also more than happy to post parts on to you if you need them :wink:
Really! Have you got a link handy? :laugh:
Well the inevitable happened, red rears and German Plates now have to go :sad: Even here in Jersey where there is no MOT they don't like it! :sad: Oh well at least it's just a case of replacing them and that's it. No fine and no points :smiley:

Well that's naughty then driving about with red everything... Can't believe you got reported though! :grin:

Looking good :afro:
Would look a lot better with the exhaust sitting properly and the bumper painted though....... :lipsrsealed: :grin:
I've thrown about a grand at mine already :lipsrsealed:
Gonna be the only one on the Island with one of those?
Scanned it and it came back with 4 codes!
2 were cleared and haven't returned and the other two are:
00513 - Engine Speed Sensor (G28)
00525 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor (G39)
My car isn't running abnormally though.
I understand the Oxygen sensor as when i start my car up the MFA resets it's self on the MPG part. It wasn't the best when i put on the CAT anyway lol
Does anyone know what the engine speed sensor one is about though? :huh:

Did you scan the car with the engine off? Try it again with the engine running & the speed sensor code should disappear :wink:
Nothing exciting to update this with but i have got some 3d carbon wrap to make the interior look nicer :)

Bit late to reply, but your gorgeous and that worked.
Looks like i just need a new lambda sensor :)

Do you think the joins will hide well, hard to tell in the photo?

Hopefully, i've only done 3. They are in the places that are the smallest. I'll grab some photos tomorrow of the joins when i finish it off.
It's going to look good. I fear the day the mk1's headlining goes poop. They are nothing like mk3's.
It's ok, we all know your a ickle fluffy bunny that like pink! (or a bit of brown in your case) :laugh: looks good bud, was planning on doing mine over the winter, but she might be gone tomorrow. :lipsrsealed:

Headlining is complete, so are all the pillars and the handle that slides the seatbelt up has been painted. all that is left to do is spray the cover for the manual sunroof cover and the grab handles.

Bit the bullet and got some budget Coilovers as i don't plan on having the car for more then a year.
That means i can sell my £200 front APs and my £350 SPAX! :grin: Not on here though, too much cost for shipping.

Started the car up yesterday to be greeted with a big clunking coming from one of the cylinders :sad: had a look over then thought i would check the oil. Dipstick = bone dry. :shocked: had an oil change last January so was a bit shocked to have lost over 2.5 litres! Topped back up and she sounded sweet! Lots of people turning their heads when you're reving it outside your house with the bonnet up! :grin:

I hardly use the thing! that's why i'm so concerned! Normally i will check it all the time when it's being used. It's only done about 8k miles in over two years!
It's sitting there covered in dirt, still with the polished wheels on looking sorry for itself :sad:
Something is wrong there then. Didn't you say it used a bit of water too?
Oil is a weekly check on mine, throw up the bonnet, grab a tissue from the glovebox, check all the levels and throw away the tissue as I walk indoors. :grin:
It looks a shed load better man! But Shaun has a point, GET YA FARKIN BUMPER REPAINTED!!!!!!!

Sender :wink:
Or the tank is empty.
Looks good bud. I know exactly what you mean with I know i need to do it but i just can't be bothered. So many little things that add up to huge big things I need to sort on mine because of the same reason.
Can vouch that an empty fuel tank will cause your gauge to seem like its not working ;) hah
If its the sender I wish you luck!
Engine bay and interior look awesome buddy! :cool:
Don't let me nab the 100 page top spot. Oops. :grin:

Pull ya finger out and fix it!
After taking it for a nice run yesterday, 60 miles, over a 1/4 of a tank gone! :lipsrsealed: :grin:
Decided i would stand outside my car to listen to what it sounded like with another driver. Oh. My. GOD!!! Without blowing my own trumpet, has to be one of the nicest sounds i have ever heard!!
New found love has returned i think! :cool:
It is the sound that is drawing me to buy one!

The one thing that draws me to a VR is the sound. That or a Charged, 5 pot Audi lump... Mmmmmmmmmmmm
I love the sound of a VR, that's whats tempting me back to the fold! I have found a black notre door ODB2 going for a grand with less than 100,000 on the clock. Just need to raise the cash without selling mine so i can swap parts over :)
You are just jealous yours doesn't get blown anymore :lipsrsealed:

Was it a pain in the ass to change?
Was it a pain in the ass to change?
Yes. :grin:
The hardest part is swapping over the plastic tubing, that did not want to come off!! If you are changing the pump too, then it's pretty straight forward.

Fook me I thought your mate had a death wish when I saw that second pic, what part of the car are the stands positioned on?
I still fear getting under even with stands. Ramps FTW, even if you have to jack the car up first.

7 months ago these went on... :grin:
Wll expansion tank has been replaced, stopped the water light on dash. Thankfully there was a puddle of water under the car which means my cooland loss isn't because of the head gasket! Yay! :grin: Looks like it's coming from the water pump :sad: Oh and when i started the car and had a look under, Oil was coming out the oil sensor! :sick: :grin:
Good times!

Good news indeed... well apart from the water pump.... oh and the oil leak. is it just a split seal for the water pump?... easy fix. How bad is the oil sensor leak?... is that not just a seal as well?

Oil sensor one is quite bad, quite a quick drip one every couple of seconds! Explains how i lost 3 litres in a year! :grin:

Scary thing is where was it going, have you been making a mess everywhere you go!?
Oh that reminds me i want to drop it about 5mm even more on the back! :cool: :grin:
Will be getting 288mm brake setup as part of a swap deal for my old SPAX Suspension! Hopefully that will solve the Brake pad wear and ABS light. Plus my old disk have a fat lip on them!

Less chance of weakening the arch and/or encouraging corrosion.
:grin: love the comments. If i may remind you at the 1st page, it clearly states this car is a Cat C write off anyway and i will also be selling it before the end of the year, but will be keeping the wheels. One side was bent up but i figured removing them would be better, it hasn't affected it's structral strength, it's only 5mm and it's double skinned.
Don't worry Shaun will be getting the full treatment when i get some waxoil :smiley:

Agreed, I trimmed a tiny amount from the rear arches on my mk3 but not this much.
So what you getting after this then if your selling it? :evil:

Most places only ship to UK Mainland. I had to get Alex (LL) to go to Halfords for me to pick up a bung :grin:
Reminds me of the time I completely destroyed a wheel whilst on holiday in Cornwall.
Was a large lump of rock right on the apex of a bend! :grin:
Was a company car (Sierra) with steel wheels so I didnt care!
Haha somebody is paranoid :lipsrsealed: :grin:
