hi guys!
Well after 3 long months of waiting, as the body and fabricator took a while getting round to doing the job i have finally got her back! And i have never been so pleased! Don't get me wrong the car still looks pretty nakered but i can see the potential behind this project now! And I feel more and more confident that it's going to work!
Just a quick run through of what has been done
1. Full structural roll cage
2. Arch work on the car
3. Rear diffuser
4. Rear un-necessary parts removed
5. Rear tyre well removed and replaced with plate
6. Bonnet pins added to carbon bonnet
Tbh i dont know why im posting these photos are they are pretty sh.i.t but i just wanted to share! I am going to take some proper photos with the camera this week.
Next on the list carbon bonnet, all the body work sorted including full respray, suspension, engine conversion then maybe...... just maybe i might be able to get her on a track next year :)
I know some people will hate what im doing with the car as it's not "scene", and some people will dislike some of the ideas! But marmite ideas to me are always the best!
Anyway guys feedback much appreciated! Once again terrible photos but hopefully you can see how good she looks!

looks totally awesome Jake.. i thought the fabricator was going to get it painted up aswell thats a fair old time to graft that kit on.. whens it going into paint ??
is it a bad time to say someones cut half your rear bumper away ?? lol
Dan
-
I love the kit but I'm not sure on the filler on the arches...
-
one of my fave mk4's this, please tell more about engine conversion yout planning, you thinking bout 20v 5cyl turbo audi lump ?
-
I love the kit but I'm not sure on the filler on the arches...
Lol Come on mate do you really think that fillers staying :-P , we were just playing around with how it could look but I want to keep the seam visible so the fillers going!
Thanks tech yeah not half the bumper, half the car lol! I love the diffuser some won't but to me its track as f.u.c.k lol .
Cheers rnp yeah engines there are a few I'm thinking of! The car will be getting painted once I've sourced more carbon! The fabricator had it for a while as I was in no rush to get it back so he did a couple of days on it every week
-
Cant wait to see the car when its finished :cool:
-
Looks great, huge potential there :smiley:. What alloys are they if you don't mind?
-
Car looks good Jake, Be good to see when its all nicely painted and fresh. Looks to have a lot of potential defo anyway.
-
Is this just for track or is it a road car??
-
Nice one Jake, that will look IMMENSE!!!!!!!
I was only thinking yesterday how you were getting along with this !!! :grin:
-
coming along nicely. is that the konigseder kit? haven't seen one of those for years
-
Cheers guys yeah lots of potential! The wheels are rotars mate, yeah this car is just for track mate
-
How could someone not like it. It's awesome! It'll look unbelievable with paint too. The wheels look mean too. Can't fault it. If only I had the money to do it and the bottle to wreck it to begin with hoping that the end product will work...... Good skills!!! :cool:
-
Cheers guys yeah lots of potential! The wheels are rotars mate, yeah this car is just for track mate
I'm glad, I'm not a fan of these looks on public roads, for the track it's AWESOME!!
must say, I'm jealous.
-
Lol Come on mate do you really think that fillers staying :-P , we were just playing around with how it could look but I want to keep the seam visible so the fillers going!
Good man, I was wondering as a kit like that really needs the seams showing, even rivets showing would look good like the Proton GTI lol
-
Thats is one neck of a defuse you are puting on there Jake!!!!!!! :shocked:
Like you say the potetial is masive and i can see it comeing along just nicely. Love the garage also :D
-
Awesome work :afro:
-
So i take it the diffuser not fitted in that pic ?? i definitely think no filler is way forward its an expensive job fitting the kit might as well show it off mate.. still nice to see the nos there lol but that will go soon..
cant wait to get another update this needs to be a weekly thing now not 6 months !! lol
-
cheers tech, tbh i have now taken the nos off for sale!
As i have changed my mind as it really adds character to the car lol! Dont ask.... lol
But yeah i will defo keep you guys updated all the time now! Just need to sort out what takes priority next!
Jake
-
engine and then paint nothing worse than fooking up fresh paint :wink: and obviously more carbon :evil: ive just bought a mk2 golf i wana cover in carbon lol
-
you know what mate you are thinking exactly like me.
Im thinking get all the messy, modification bits out the way! then to finish her off get the bodywork sorted!
MK2 For the win! Love them mate :)
Jake
-
Jake well done mate will look amazing when its finished :cool: :smiley:
-
as i gave you that input you must now pm me and let me know what colour its going to be lol im voting focus rs green of focus st orange :cool:
-
hahaha
Not a chance! But dont worry.... hopefully wont be too long before shes painted! :p
-
wicked and are you going to let us in on engine choice ??
-
lol good try!
But no that will come in time :laugh:
-
Jake i would just like to say we are no longer friends :laugh: we dont get told no secrets :angry:
Can i then please no how your making front bumper quick release ?? :evil:
So many questions for you lol
-
Roll on UD2011
-
haha come on mate lets not let friendships ruin? :laugh:
Hi patch mate, roll on ud2011 is a very optimistic one mate! Realistically 2012 but i will try my very very best lol!
Jake
-
im so jellous of you, such a nice car and a great project.
out of interest hoe much did all the body work so far cost? things like the arches ect. looks really good. cant wait for the next update
-
I think the kit is 2k before fitting so after all that fanrication I would say he's spent about 4k on body work so far !!
-
wish i had that much money :sad:
keep it up, cant wait for the next update :)
-
Woooo more pics!
f**k me that rear diffuser!! haha massive! cant wait to see what it looks like when all the bodywork is finished and painted should turn a few heads dude!
Keep the updates coming :cool:
-
cheers for the feedback guys!
Yeah i spent quite a bit on the arch kit, some may say stupidly! I would beg to differ lol.
Cheers stink, yeah the diffuser is immense lol! Looks even better in the flesh! Will get more pix as things progress

Do it black do it black do it black

Do it black do it black do it black
Already got some nice black examples, yours and Pat's, i think something different :wink:
-
honda barcelona green ftw
-
Black? That would be originial :laugh:
All that work to make it look different then do it black lol? To be honest in my opinion that car looks a little confused! Its a touring car kit i.e. track on a euro car?
Dont get me wrong, gorgeous car yet trying to do too many things! By the way for those who don't know, the owner of PVW owns that car :)
-
he does indeed but tis just for shows.. track look cars are the way forward.. in my eyes anyway.. :smiley:
-
Black would be good, after all the body mods a mad colour would make it look a little.... Southend seafront.
I love silver cars myself.
-
Want it to stand out on the track and road? How about white? Audi Ibis white (?)
-
Military Matte Green, or Pear Orange would look sick but gotta do the wheels black to suit :grin:
-
I Vote for R32 DPB :cool:
-
I remember seeing a matt olive green on a track mk1 in PVW a few years back that looked awesome :cool:
-
Zombie has this kit on his matt black mk4 with the turbo'd R32 in it. doesnt he?
Looks good mate...
-
nah does he balls lol!
He made his own £50 arch kit and riveted it on, Great engine, and different car, yet his arch kit is nothing like this mate
Jake
-
lol, oh yeah...
Just looked :grin:
-
Also chaps
Got a cheeky pic of the cage too! Not the best pic but shows enough for now :)

-
you going to be spraying the cage like your old one? :evil:
-
haha not the same colour mate no. But yes it will be getting sprayed!
The whole of the inside will be one metallic colour! Something nice and light ;)
