Project mk3

[nezzi21]

Getting there now, Just need to bring the front down a touch and raise the rear slightly for a bit clearance. Also need another front tyre as there is a nick in the inside tyre wall and its leaking air under pressure!

Getting closer to being finished, some mechanica/electrical problems to sort.

Great work 

Mystic blue is a great colour in the sun 

Wheels look a good fitment, how big are the adaptors you have had to use?

[nezzi21]

Wheels are BBS RC041/042 so 17x7.5 et41 & 17x8.5 et42 with 20mm adapters all round. Sit pretty well, just need to have my rear arches properly sorted and roll the fronts to get it lower. Tyres are 185/35 front and 195/40 rear.

Forgot all about updating this thread! Anyway will bring it bang up to date.

Firstly i managed to pick up the interior i was after



Then a couple of pictures to show where it is up to now, along with a few of it alongside my Wife's Auto VR6 Highline and my Bro-inlaw's Indian Red VR6









Start of the planned winter jobs









And finally making a start on my VR lump









Will try keep this one up to date as there should be a fair bit happening over the next 3/4 weeks.

I am desperate to get this completed and in but want it done right, car is away getting genuine wings smoothed and fitted as i wasnt happy with the pattern wings i got from work. Still a bit of interior trimming to be done with the abc trims and wheels redone.
