well having owned 3 mk3's in the last 5 years, my latest been a vr that ive owned for nearly 2 years now, i realised i dont have a thread on here, im a long time lurker and dont post that much, but i really should get more involved with this site... so here it is...
its going to be long winded, but here goes, hope you enjoy...
firstly, heres a few pics of my previous mk3's a few of you may remember them, my green 8v and my chilli pearl abf
the car saw many guises, trims, wheels, seats etc, but this is how it ended up sataying, unfortunetly, some bellend rear ended me so that one went to heaven
this was my baby for 2 years, did most of the retrim my self, got the pvw feature then a guy bought this one from me, broke it down to it bear bones and then just sold everything
so onto the vr...
heres how she looked the day i picked up the vr6, it was immaculate apart from a few tiny bits o rust, but it didnt put me off, low milage, full leather and good looking... this is gonna be pic heavy so bear with me
it got some new wings as they were buggered...
after that, i sold the porsche twists and bought something a little special...
i bought a mk5 roof fin, and retrimed the roof lining and pillars in red with cab visors and black handles... i also made a great find and bought a full gti edition recaro trim, with door cards and rear head rests, i spent some time making some one off seat belts using mk4 anni belts with a red pin stripe down the edges...the whole thing looked really oem and suited the car perfect.
i loved the interior and it stayed in there for some time...
i gave the bay a really good clean...
and heres how the car looked at harewood that year, i picked u a trophy too...
inbetween then i did a few little things, new filler cap, lookwood dials, some vr6 kick strips from vw and some HID's...
then quite a few things happened...
the breyton wheels got sold, and i bought another set, the set from the green car in the first pics, i loved them on that one and didnt want to pass up the opportunity to own them again, unfortunetly these only stayed on for about 2 weeks as a pot hole destroyed one big time...
shame because they are awesome wheels, but after putting £450 into the refurb, i couldnt bring my self to out even more money into repairing them, and the highways agency didnt want to know either...
i did a few other bits to the car tho, carbon facia for the clocks, hella all reds, sorted a pair of heated and electric stubbys and polo handles, 2.5" blueflame straight through system, manifold back, ebc drilled and grooved front and rear discs, black diamond pads and braided hoses got done too, with all the bushes, ball joints and tie rods etc, the car felt amazing...
i didnt have the heart to do the wheels again after the damage, so they were sold and got some comps
obviously, i had to give them a re polish as they were a little dull... also painted up the calipers and cleaned everything up.
some pics from elsecar...
