CBRT - GTI Engineering VR6

[CBRT]

Just organising paint and body work so it's ready for UD although it will be just in the car park but for me some of the best places to look at the shows are the parking areas!

Low of the morning- Moved the car in the garage this morning to find a 50p size drop of oil.......... Hmm good job its going in on Monday

High of the morning- Waiting for the steering wheel to arrive today hopefully!

   

Drove the M3 in this morning put a smile on my face 

[CBRT]

Steering wheel turned up- Fitment tmw (Or tonight if i cant wait! LOL)

[CBRT]

Well couldnt wait so.....

Before Small Corrado Wheel;


After shots;




Also swapped the orange repeaters for these, I prefer them (I will be getting rid of the orange indicators too);



Went to start it afterwards and battery was flat- Hmmm not sure if i left light on however the battery is GONE and I put my tester on it and it seems the alternator is overcharging........

Another job to sort out next week while its at the garage! LOL Don't you just love old cars!

[CBRT]

Just a few jobs today

Changed the battery
Air vent replacement
Hoovered out!

[CBRT]

I've been flat out at work and been doing more planning than working on it!

It's going to put into a very very clean OEM+ car, keeping with it's pedigree;

I'm going to try and put it back to how it should be.

I'm going to take the "Motorsport" bits and put on the mk3 I'm building (a 1.8t from my 1.6cl and the mk4) I have- bit longer term this year but the gti/vr6 will be done first.

Need a set of good split rims genuine staggered so on the hunt for something

I'll do some work this weekend and post an update 

[CBRT]

Left my phone at home so pics tmw

Headlights back to OEM and please any one vento front

Changed leads and took engine cover off for painting

Need to pick up new water bottles etc as the bay is untidy so will get on flea bay tonight

Spent a few hours on my gsxr and cleaned the M3- knackered!

[CBRT]

Small breather mod



Just back to factory so it can be driven until I get vento front sorted- yellow indicators gone too



New VR6 tax disc ordered
Looking for a correct period Alpine head unit so it looks right in the cabin as I am not a big fan of big fancy lights!!!

[CBRT]

Keeping out for some nice wheels- looks like I missed the OZ futuras

[CBRT]

Hmmmmm frustrating- need to do a battery draw test- any common mk3 battery drain faults ??
