MK3 VR6
« on: 03 August 2012, 20:57 »
I thought I'd show some of the work I've done so far to my Golf n it's quiet at work!!!

I took my old VR6 for its MOT and it came back with load of problems n with all the rust all over the car it wasn't worth repairing.



So the hunt started for something with less rust n worth swapping the good parts onto. When I found this.





It was in a buliderds yard where it had sat for two years n it had a few problems but nothing to bad having only done 94k n a full service history. So I swapped over the Koni coilovers, 6 branch manifold and system, Audi RS4's n fixed the parts that were broken, heater matrix, glove box front fog lights and passenger seat.

6 branch heat wrapped.


New heater matrix in.


The plan was to tidy it up n get it back on the roads. But then a custom cage come up for sale n that went out the window.

Custom cage


All the interior came out and replaced the roof lining, A,B,C pillars with black items fitted all the wiring for the amp and speakers in the false floor.





My naphew thought it was a climbing frame!!!


all I need is the bucket seats and a couple of bits and bobs n the interior will be finished. Next up was to sort the exterior, the wings need to be replaced due to rust which I have ordered just wanting on delivery.

Front end off to be replaced with nice new none rusty stuff.


Polo rear door handles.


Cult Society boot plinth. Rear spoiler and wiper removed and rear badge sprayed satin black. Crystal rear lights.



While the front is off I cleaned and sprayed the front.


Fitted a ram air feed.



I've also fitted a stand off kit.


MK4 wing mirrors with carbon fibre covers


Relocated the washer jets ready for a smoothed bonnet.


Satin black inlet manifold.


That's where I'm at so far, still loads to do and will post up pics as I go along.

I haven't decided yet what to do with the seats, I would like to go the S3 or similar but don't know if my budget will stretch that far as there bleedin expensive but I'm also thinking of banded steel wheels an think buckets would look better, I won't be putting cheap 100 quid buckets in
