bd Project Extra Low
« on: 11 February 2011, 23:31 »
This one starts like this.

A friend of mine rang me before Christmas & offered me a Golf GTI Mk3 16v that his friend had & it didn't interest me as it was to expensive & just before the holiday period I could do without buying another car so I turned him down.
A couple of day before Christmas he rang back say that the mate was desperate for some money & that he would let it go cheap so I offered him something stupid
He rang back a few moments later & said that he would except it only if I came down now & paid for it.
As I was at work & a bit of distance from him I asked my friend if he would pay for it & I would come around the next day & pick it up off him & he agreed

The next day me & harry went down to pick it up & it was supposed to be in very good condition, starts & drives etc, well it wasn't. I had dents, scratches, flat tyre & it ran like a bag of sh!t
Me being a man of my word & my friend being completely useless with cars oh & the main thing was that he had already paid for it I paid him & got it bought back.

This is what it looked like.

Just a few cosmetic things and a good clean will get that back up to scratch I'm sure! :smiley:

With most of my cars they get stripped & this was no exception
This is how it went down.















Time for these to go in the bin







The original grill had to go for a de-badged one.



Whilst I was in the stripping mode I removed the alarm that didn't work.







These also had to go

As I was planning on putting some audio in it, I thought that this was the best time to lay down some cables & whilst I was doing some cabling I had to do the big THREE









































Now that we had the big THREE done I wanted to check what the vaultage was, before we did this it was running 13.0v - 13.6 & now it runs 14.3v - 14.5v on idle.
