I know it looks like a golf country(coilies are on the way) and the body needs work but £360 with mot til May and taxed to end sept I had to :smug:. Not sure what wheels, any ideas?
-
Sounds like you paid £310 too much for it. :grin:
-
a friends just got one of these. his lowered on g60's. Looks alright, so potential is there for yours

Cheers mate. Was thinking along those lines as I thought anything modern would look wrong(too much bling(is that still used?))

Not only is it a MK3. Its a MK3 Van! Are you fecking retarded?
-
Will look good with some choice mods.
-
Looks a tidy van nice set of rims and lowered and its a winner.Is it petrol or diesel?
-

Ah the voice of reason.
I am sorry for not choosing the same vehicle as you and having a mind of my own.
S'pose I should have gone baa and followed the herd.

Its a diesel doesn't go too bad considering. Nips along at 70-80 no probs and 60mpg!! :smug:
Only bought as a daily(wanted something a bit different) while I sort out a lock up and a mk2 project.
Thinking of changing colour to a dark red in a matt finish and possible engine swap.
Ok it now seems its have changed to a daily/project :rolleyes: :grin:
-
Looks alroght, set of banded steallies will set it right though
-
Nice man! :cool:

Decided what its going to roll on yet?
-
Seen lots I wanna put on but finances dont stretch far enough yet. Prob just get some s/hand bbs reps or bigger steelies for now and save the pennies. Hopefully get something on it this weekend :wink:
-
Wheels should arrive next week :smiley: so the new pictures should be a bit more interesting than the last :wink:
So all thats left for now is getting paint sorted and some GTi seats. Maybe engine, i.c.e................etc,etc.

Gotta get tyres fitted and waiting for mate to fit coilies. Progress is a bit slower than I'd hoped but at least its in the right direction :smiley:
-
OMG, where did you get those from and how much were they?! :shocked:
-
Loving those rims! What are the dimensions? Have you gone for wider out the back?
-
OMG, where did you get those from and how much were they?! :shocked:
THIS!?
Can't remember the last time I saw one of these as a van! :shocked: Different it certainly is. Look forward to seeing more.
-
I feel a confession is in order. Unfortunately the wheels are reps not proper BBS' :embarassed: Haven't the money at the minute for real ones. Hopefully they will still meet with the approval of those who offered positive comments :smiley:
Ok back to the van. Went on how many left and there are only 55 on the road according to that site. So not much chance of bumping into another one. Paint wise I'm toying with the idea of a Harlequin effect like on the limited edition Polo's of the 90's (I think). Started off thinking having it a darker matt red originally but to be honest I dont really know what route to take. Could always rat it :undecided:
Blimey and I thought women were indecisive :laugh:
-
i guessed they were reps aha but i'm still interested how much they were and where you got them from :P
i think a matt colour would look awesome, how about being a bit different and having it a matt blue or something like that :wink:
-
The wheels came from directalloys via Ebay. They were £320ish including delivery. Think they have a couple of sets left :smiley:
-
Opinions needed.

Thinking of doing something similar to the van colour wise. Yes or no?
-
No. I hate harlie paint with a passion.
Been done a few times, but never seen it on a van

theres a list somewhere of how they did the panels, you really need a 5dr for it to work best, and one of 3 bright base colours, think it was an aqua greeny colour, a red and a yellow.
and certain panels have to be certain colours to have it looking oem
-
So far opinions are what I was thinking. Possibly too much of one colour if I do it on the van. Just trying to find something a bit different :undecided:
-
I think it could be pulled off if you painted the roof and sills a different colour to the quarters! Otherwise yeah, I think there would be to much red maybe.....
-
what about something like this?
(http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af318/archie_837/b3b58120.jpg)
you could pull off coloured centres too as your new wheels have some dish.
-
i said matt blue, would look sick :drool:
-
I think a matt metallic colour would look even more awesome :smiley:

Thats the red I had in mind at the beginning :smiley:
Thought it would contrast well with the shiney wheels
(http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z216/E16V/PICT0001-2.jpg)
-
Loving that idea!
-
whatever you do you should definately get the black seal bit smoothed where the rear window used to be...
-
I was gonna leave them as a feature :smiley:
-
I think it would look too smooth if the window seals were deleted maybe?
-
i just think it stands out too much, i mean why do you need them if there's no rear window? :laugh:
-
I know what you mean. I think that's why the golf vans tend to be a bit of a Marmite vehicle lol!
-
Well I like them and its my van!! :grin:
On a serious note I have seen them smooth and It looks too polished/finished. After all its a van. Also keeps the original van DNA having the black
-
hmm i just googled some and you're right, i prefer it with the window seal actually aha
-
Jersey you idiot!! :kiss:
The paints not black, the range is Montana black - a matte cour range.
That red looks sweet and I reckon if you could get US bits you could make a super sweet low as USA spec VAN. mind blowing.

Cheers mate for comments.
Would be something I've not seen done before, US parts on a van. Sure I saw some for sale, now where was it.......... :evil:
-
Mega potential in this I think. Love the Golf3 haters on here :grin:
-
Quick update.
Paint has been chosen :shocked: and I will have it next week.
Hopefully mate will do the coilies next weekend :rolleyes:. Wheels should have tyres by then aswell so if all goes to plan should be a bit of a transformation coming up :wink:
-
Can't wait! :cool:
-
Haven't posted any pics for a while so here are some for your perusal. Wheels, coilies and bodywork started. :cool:

Looking good, can you put rear seats in easy if desired?
-

Yeah 15's. All fixing holes for seats are there if you wanted rears. Wouldn't you just buy a car though?? :smiley:
-
The van is coming along nicely man! Have you got any body nods planned?
-
Nothing major. Just paint it really and maybe 1 or 2 U.S spec parts if I can find them. Oh and some GTi seats. Possible engine swap to TDi if funds allow
-
Sounds like a good plan :)
-
Looks cool!
I reckon some skinnier tires will make it sit niiice!

I love this!!, nice change from the usual mk3 specs.. :cool:
-
Thanks for the response. :cool:
Got GTi bumpers to go on once painted and might change the wheels as well if funds allow.
Got an A reg Mk2 that needs sorting as well. Can never have too many things on the go :grin:Will put pics up soon of the Mk2
-
I have reluctantly decided to put the van up for sale to fund the Mk2.
Its on Ebay item 150845740455
