Title: Mk3 golf vr6 highline
Post by: Rob_g60 on 10 August 2012, 23:23
So fancied a change, found this gem black mk3 vr6 highline, 1 owner from new, been dry stored for the past 6 years only has 70k on it, leather is mint body and engine needs a good clean up

Here's the 1st few pics when I got it home

Thats good work that is, just need to get that bay cleaned up now.

But atleast a dirty bay isnt hiding signs of leaks etc :smiley:

nice car and nice instant personal touches too.  I like it.

Good point made on the engine bay, It might be dirty, but at least it looks honest.

Been busy today gave it a good polish and wax also changed the front grill for a better condition one, also changed all the badges for new,

Think the scratches on the bonnet and the roof may need painting but will find out Monday, couple more pics after a big clean

Do you mean without raising the engine?

My coilies are wound all the way down on the fronts (2 or 3 threads left for peace of mind)

But no helper springs removed yet... you planning on raising the engine there for notching? Im dreadfully close to the floor and living on borrowed time  :grin:

Here's a little update

A shot from a recent meet

Then I smashed the sump plug off a few days later
