so with plenty already done and even more planned i thought id start up a new thread for my daily show car.
heres what has happened.
with my white mk3 due an mot litterally the same day as i was getting the mk2 ready for U.D and knowing i wasnt going to be able to sort it in time i thought sod it and bought a new car.
heres how the white 1 stood today without a mot.
so as you can see the old tin worm has attacked the poor old girl. needing 2 front wings, rear quarter repairing, a rear wheel bearing and the heating sorting. i no all these wouldnt have caused a fail and i could have probably got it through but to be honest i had my mind set on getting a vr6 and making white 1 into a future project. that plan has changed so daily duties have moved onto the new mk3
so a replacement was found heres how i got her.
what i found was 1 of 150 2l 16v anniversarys.
spec goes as this:
schmidt th line 3 piece split rims 8j + 9j x 16 wrapped in stretched falkens. came off pvw car of the year 2009 mk3 golf. black crackle centres and stainless bolts and dishes.
fk coilovers
mason tech rear beam adjusters
joey'd vento front with early grill
full respray in vw/audi antelope brown including smooth top bumpers and cl door trims.
chrome powder coated intake and crackle balck rocker cover.
and many more including all the red anniversary extras.
i got this car for a steal and could nearly get all my money back just selling the wheels.
so with all my time taken up building the mk2 i finally got round to sorting some things that where bugging me.
first thing 1st was how minging it was inside. ive got to have a mint interior so the plan was to swap the nicer gti spec recaros into the anni and anything else that i thought needed changing.
so first i striped out the white mk3.
everything had to come out bar the dash and carpet. i took all the headlining out and the panels holding it in due to the fact it was in better condition than the 1 in the anni and that the annis panels had been colour coded brown and wasnt to my liking. also it gave me a chance to clean the headlining.
with the white mk3 striped it was time to do the same to the anni.
so with the anni empty i now had a chance to fit my genuine hella all reds i had laying around.
before
after
not the biggest difference but the pics later show them better. think the cls had been tinted a little before.
so with them both empty it was just a case of refitting them into the opposite car. so with them both striped out by monday mid afternoon i spent the rest of the day fittting the anni interior into the white 1 and swapping any bits over that i think needed doing.
so buy the time light had faded it was all done.
and you can just see the brown panels
