Title: the new(er) vr
Post by: jimmyb on 23 October 2010, 14:32

paid £1000 for this car and everything seems well,when i bought last weekend it had a passenger window that didnt work and a cracked rear light,both of which i had spare parts for so they are now sorted it also had really hazed paint,which came up well after a good t-cut,but it has a bit of rust at the bottom of the drivers wing and it does have a couple of light scratches,and was a category d in 2003, but i put that aside because theres more good points than bad,the good 1s include 57000 mile,black leather very clean due to milage,climatronic,completely original throughout,i wanna keep it standard but i just keep thinking hmmmmm what shall i do? lol

Do what i'm doing with my MK2, keep it OEM, tidy the paintwork up, refurb the wheels and lower it.

Very nice, I still think the VR6 is in my top ten engine sounds. In fact i'd still love to keep the look of my car OEM but stick a VR6 engine in  :smiley:

sounds sensible and along the lines of what i was thinking to be honest,could do with the wheels refurbing aswell,maybe some hid`s as well as lowering :), ps ive never been in a mk2 vr i cant even imagine what there like :S,so do you need any bits for your mk2? im breaking 1 atm,lol

cheers,i was really wary of the milage as it dont have a service book,it has m.o.t`s down till 2005 tho,but its the condition of the seats and steering wheel etc that makes me belive it has 57k and the way its smooth as fcuk,love it :)

I can see myself maybe adding a mk3 VR6 to go with the MK2, it's alot of fun for the money.
