Junior's Mk3 8v (nothing fancy!!)

[Junior74]

Hi everyone,
thought i'd put on here what i've been up to. Bought this 2.0 8v a couple of months back as a little run around but could'nt leave it alone!!

First thing was front break discs as both were warped.

Then my cousin very kindly donated his golf which was completely knackered but had leather interior and much better condition wings than mine, and a whole bucket load of other stuff that i scavanged 


Started sanding my wheels ready for a home re-spray (Ivory White)

Started putting my car back together (just like frankenstien) and fitted some budget coilovers.

Always doing little bits and pieces but this is what i've got so far. Needs alot of work and we'll see how far it goes, i've always had Mk2's and this is the first 3, fingers crossed...






And this is Hendrix who is usually in the passenger seat!!


Thanks for having a look, all comments good or bad welcome. Future plans include lots of body work and some welding, new wheels, tyres and spacers (Ronals i think?) etc... CHEERS!!!!!!!

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. I must admit the pictures don't really show all the small rust scabs and the huge area of filler on the opposite side back wheel arch, but hey that's what getting dirty and having a project is all about!!
Fitted the Magnex back box yesterday ( thanks F17BAD  ), but not quite sitting right yet so still a bit of fiddling to do...

Anyway next thing on the list is hopefully new shoes, Ronal Turbos with a bit of stretch and larger size on the rear i think, the endless task of body work, and inside new headlining, covered pillars etc:
(Oh yes!! and i need to find out about getting the sills replaced along both sides as the front jacking points are completely smashed to bits  )
