[liamwitz]

so i have now joined the vw club (although i dont have the badge to prove it lol!) 
just purchased the car for 290 and now i want to start working on it, i really want to get the rat look going on the car and just on here to ask for some tips on how to acheive it to the best outcome!

Park it in the sea for a couple of weeks.

sand the whole thing and let it rust!  

[liamwitz]

haha i think the sea is a bit extreme lool
yeah was thinking of sanding it as the paintwork is dodgey anyway!
just gonna drive it into the ground really its and old motor with a lot of miles on it so i wanna just do something cool with it!

Get rid of them FORD wheel trims to start off with

Lower it

[liamwitz]

yeah lowering is a must and thats the first thing ill be doing, wheres a good place to get cheap coilovers that will fit the car?
hahaha theyre not ford they are peugeot and they are gone haha!

Step 1: get a new VW badge.
Step 2: lower it.
OPTIONAL STEP 3: get some decent wheels.
Looks like a decent shape mk3 tbh, ratting it would be a waste.

[murraymint]

If you wanna rat it but the body works infairly good nic then you could go to a scrappy n buy another mk3 bonnet, sand that one back n let it rust? You can get cheap coilovers on ebay hottuning, Jom, jamex and fk are the most common ones, there's about a million posts about coilovers in the mk3 section so just do a search

Dont rat it 

Alloys, lower, fix all the little odds and ends,  polish, polish and more polish....   Spay up the bumpers too.  Bring back the former MK3 glory!

Nothing beats the look of a MK3, looking as good as they day it left the showroom, and so easy to achive.  A good machine mop and wax would do your paint wonders.
