Selecting reverse might be a tad uncomfortable...

All black interior, sun visors, black ABC pillars etc. New grooved disc and pads all round. New EZ shims. fall set of Powerflex bushes. Eibach anti roll bars. New gear stick  :wink: that's it so far. But got a lot planned. Fitting my vr6 doors with Audi a4 rear handles. Changing the colour to White and powder coating the beam, subframe, arms, etc, red. Might powder coat my dishes White, the centre and barrel red and keep the gold bolts. Want a fall digi air ride setup. Fall smooth bay with a mk4 2.8 24v. Waiting for the BMW to sell so I can get a 4 motion donor car. (might have to drop the price  :sad: ) did have a bid on one on eBay last week though lol.


But at the rate it's going so far, all that will take about 10 years and colour choice will probably change  :laugh:

I think of it like this.

Keep the car for the rest of my life and spend money on it when I can. If I didn't I would only spend that same amount of money on new cars every couple of years. If I sold this I would only buy a mk5 gti.

I'm sick of looking at dope as f**k cars at shows and in mags and think I wish I had something like that. So I'm gonna build one  :smiley:

Most builds I read about in mags say that it's taken 5+ Years to build and if it takes that long so be it. I know I'll enjoy 97% of it  :laugh:

That is the best thing I have heard in a long time..........fully agree. Mk3's might be worth Summat by then too! Except mine cause it's a 1.4 :grin:
