well i must say this is fairly epic work!! all done in record time too by the looks of things! :cool:

now.. the lights you took out of the dragon green... even though you thought they were chavvy... were they Hella Celis? IF so they are worth quite a bit so hope you didn't bin em?

not 100% on why you are breaking the dragon green beast (i liked it)... but I cannot argue with your justifications... 'because I wanted to' is a great rationale

10/10  :cool:

What this man says ^^^^  Top work. :afro:

We don't always do things because they are optimum, we do them because we want to....  People get bored of things too, green mk3 was fine, but this is different.

With a VR6, it's all about the noise.

What better way than to take the roof off?

Might be heavier and slower... but if you wanted something light and nimble, you wouldn't get a Mk3, it's not a performance car.

 :grin:  All this sh*t about slower... Slower than what, slower than the green donor (slightly) but that's it, it's a supercharged VR FFS... it's still faster than a standard VR, faster than any standard cabby...

Exactly!

A charged VR6 cabby on Borbet A's?

I'd rather be 0.006 seconds slower to 60 than the hatch because it'd give people a better chance to look... and more importantly listen.  :evil:

Not really, as soon as it's fired up, the game would be given away!  :grin:


If I had to have a mk3 (3.5), this is the one I would want.... Awesome.  :cool:

Personally, I'd joey the headlights and tint them, it would fit in better with the black grille and badge.

Must say; you and Rob are really stepping it up for the Mk3(.5) boys.

Proper jealous.  :kiss:
