Right so here goes,

finally picked up my Mk3 golf vr6 1996 3dr last night and it drove home with no problems atall! got it or a bargain price of £400!

Its got 217k on the clock however it has had a recon engine fitted in 2006 and pulls very well, full service history and receipts going into 1000 of pounds!

so the bad bits on the car are the front grille one bar pushed out, the tailgate is just one rusted mess!, and the drivers door door shut is rusted with a small hole in it. so no massive problems just tidying apart from that it seems lovely.

so the plans are to make this into i tidy euro motor, with some good audio to premote my bussiness awesome.audio!

hope you enjoy!

will get my 1st pics up tommorow before i touch it! :smiley:

so after those snapps i took i thought id get to work,

first of all i fitted my induction kit and wow it sounds great also while i was under the bonnet started to try to clean the engine bay up, then gave it a proper t-cut polish and wax not that the pictures show much of a difference but there is alot, then removed my tow bar and re-blacked all my trim. after that put my attention inside and fitted my alpine screen and i-pod wich went up on the roof...gotta be a tad diferent as this will also be used as my demo car for my car audio bussiness well got a few snaps as i say doesent look to be much of a difference but there is!

Right so today ive not been able to get much done as its raining quite alot but did mange to loosen the top suspension mounts all round ready for my coilovers to arrive and go on, then i started a bit more with my audio so cut out my roof lining and mounted the amp on to the inside off the roof just so its poking through the hole in the roof lining just gotts tidy it up and should look very nice and unique!

so then carried on with a bit of a cleanup under the bonnet and doing the usual checks and must admitt all seems very good!

picking my boot lid and rear lights up wednesday so that should make the bodywork look alot cleaner, also ordering my debadged grille.

thats about all the work today as i got a bit to wet!
