Jack's wagon.

After much proctrastination I've bitten the bullet and decided to attempt a Dub rides thread.

A year ago I came into posession of my second mk3 estate following the death of my mystic blue wagon.





I was originally going to get a 2.0 8V satin silver one, but Chuff managed to find me a decent TDi with a measly 105000 miles on the clock.

I was originally a bit disheartened by the beige interior but now I've made the most of it and I wouldn't have anything else.



I've got some beige tweed/tartan for the headlining and I've got a little picnic basket sub install in the back which I've yet to take pictures of.

Then came a little bit of a bodge in that my bonnet cable snapped so I had to rig this up so I could get it to open and close and I've still not sorted that. 



I then got to work ruining it by putting some ridiculous wheels on it and lowering as much as practically possible.

This is the set of wheels that I had the longest.



It also briefly ran on a set of teledials and a set of G60's.

I've not got some 16" Megane steels in 4x100 that are waiting for tyres.

Then came a few subtle engine tweaks and a new exhaust as well as sorting some of the rusty patches temporarily.

And it comes to how it sits now.

I've done countless fiddly bits that I've forgotten about as well so you'll have to forgive me but here are the most recent pics:







Plans for the future include:

Get tyres sorted and wheels fitted.
Roll arches.
Go lower.
Spacers and a tiny touch of camber.
Satin paint job.

I'd also like to swap out all the bushes for polybushes and fit both a front and rear strut brace in the most OAP way possible.

Not the most exciting of dub rides threads but... you asked for it! 

Thanks for reading.

Looks good so far. 

Bout time you did. .

What colour Satin?

[Jack3559]

I'm thinking dark blue at the moment.

Although I have been contemplating a chocolate colour.

I also forgot to mention that I want to joey and tint the lights at some point too.
