WANTED: Inspiration

[AdamB]

Here's the scenario -
You own my cab, and want to make a few changes, to the look or the engine. What would you do?
The reason I am asking is I am happiest when I am tinkering with it, but other than a major engine transplant, I can't think of anything else to do. So. I thought I would turn to you Rag Runners and see what ideas you can come up with.

[vixteris]

can we have ur spec list  


the way i see it adam is that your car is a finished project. you have done more to that car than anyone else on the site has done to theirs afaik.  if you like tinkering i think a new project might be in order to be honest.  the sportline (i dont know her first name) is looking absolutely brilliant, surely changing anything now would be going backwards. Like u said, maybe an engine conversion and that retrim, but u will never beat perfection  

i think a caddy sport might suit you  

[AdamB]

I did think about another project, but I like to be able to drive my cars, and if I had too many I fear some may not get any use.
BTW her name is J-Low

yeah, i think you are getting dangerously close to 'project finished'. it's a disease that affects a lot of veedub modifiers and why you end up seeing wicked cars up for sale.

get yourself a beaten up old gti for peanuts and start another project

or a 20v engine in the cab

or a retrim

or a synchro install

ooh - a 4WD cab - like it's ever gonna go off-roading, lol.
Nice idea though, loads of grip at the moment, but you can never have too much.

[vixteris]

oh oh oh i have an idea!!!   hydrolic/air suspension mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

oh yes, that's it in one! a new toy for the car, nice shiny polished air tank, looks mental and solves your problem with struggling to drive over dropped rizla packets!

sorted.

i reached this stage with my last car (vauxhall corsa ) it was either do an engine conversion or sell it and start a new project. i sold it but cant help but wish that i had completely finished it with the engine conversion. save the money that you would spend on changin the engine for a 1.8 turbo. i feel that you would be most satisfied then.

Do mine up for me??

Wish I was at project finished - not even project started yet  :'(

Got no money oh well guess we'll just pick our zorst off the ground and limp home

Adam, get those Recaros re-trimmed in leather like the sportline in Golf + the other month, looked quality.
