Scirocco GT2 - Operation, I have no money
« on: 05 January 2011, 17:56 »
Ok so christmas left me with a bit under £500 quid in the bank so I did what any student about to go back to uni does and bought an old car that I have no intention of ever driving  :smiley:

Here is the old gal, and the price I paid - well thats a secret between me and her...





first of all my dad noted how he nearly died when pulling into caistor and it didnt stop, took off the wheels and because the car had been sat for a while the disks had got pretty rusty. No problemo for mr grinder though. The pads are pretty much brand new.



Lovely....



then flushed out the coolent and put in genuine-ish (gsf AG-G12 plus). Dont wanna drink this stuff, but it does look good...



bit of lovely good enough to drink screenwash too



new was new rocker cover gasket as it was leaking sh!t (oil in laymen's terms) all over the place...



bosh!

More updates tommorow  :smiley:

Thank heavens you seem to have avoided buying a Mini.

Wheels don't suit it though.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Or bought somthing so cheap it can only boost the mini fund?  :evil: and i couldn't give two sh!ts about the wheels, my job is to tidy it up and sell it on  :smiley:

My plans are simply to tart it up and sell it on. Runs spot on just needs a basic service really  :smiley:

Just for an epic DH rant, strip it, rat it, cage it (with no intention of wearing a helmet), VR it  :grin:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Yer was gonna go down that route. Jamex suspension slammed, stretched 9" tyres all round. Ebay roll cage feat. bucket seats and 2" 3 point harness stapped to said cage and sand the whole thing, perhaps with a piano on the roof for the ultimate scene points.
