Just a little update on my VR. Had to sort out quite a few things in the the run up for her MOT.
Done a bit of welding. All of the rear grommet holes rotten. Probably wouldn't have failed for this but needed done all the same.
Had all the interior out of it so doubled up on the soundproofong and the foam behind the rear door cards (Have another VR im breaking) and has turned a noisy car into quite a pleasant quite car on the road.
Other jobs I did was to sort out the handbrake as it was non existent. Replace my horn, change my joeyed headlamps for some standard ones as the adjusters were broken.
Replaced my cheap hottuning coilovers for the AP's I had on my white mk3 and it has improved the ride tenfold. I will never go down the cheap coilovers route again as they are horrible, not even an improvement over standard stuff.
Put my plastic arches back on as de-arching just doesn't look right with textured bumper tops.
My boot is slightly open, its not just fitted badly lol.
Needing to get two front tyres ofr the Lenso's and will sort the ride hight out after then. Just kept the AP's raised a bit for its MOT. Not going to lower it too much though, just a wee bit more at the rear as want it to be a more user friendly daily driver.
Plan to replace the engine soon one I find a low mileage one as the current one is nearing 200k and is smiking a bit and down on compression especially on one of the cylinders. Got one sitting but thats has 145k on it so would be a bit of a false economy sticking that in.
Anyway took her for her MOT yesterday and passed first time so thats it for another year. Still need to rip my dash out and sort out the flaps in the heater box so thats the next job on the list. Will get more pics up once Ive got her looking how i want. Fancy swapping my wheels for something else maybe.
