New bonnet, new fuel cover,new VR cover, Paint slam pannel, new washer and battery and remove the harness straps from the fatal position that they are in and you have got yourself a std vr mk2 on borbets  :lipsrsealed:

At least it's been done properly! it's just the cosmetics that let it down but nothing that can't easily be fixed  :cool:

Not my cup of tea either but like I said something different if it was.

It does amaze me the efforts people go to for very little overall gain.

Thing is as said you could get the little cosmetics done for a few hundred quid and you got a solid car.. bit over priced in my eyes aswell but hey

The things that would instantly have to go for me is that bonnet vent and petrol flap... but i've just clocked worse, that rear strut brace and harness setup is a big no no... wouldn't even have the brace as it is let alone put the harnesses on it.

the guy who is selling it is over on mk2vr6.com. There is a serious amount of quality work gone into that car. granted not the route that most of us would have taken with it, but its certainly a good car going by the build thread.

Id have it and as other have said, get rid of all the air brushing and it would be a nice motor
