Yeah I did want to go jap, had a look at scoobys but I can't get insurance for another 2 years on them! So I'll save jap for another couple of years.
I stuck with VW because it's what I know, and I wanted another MK3 as I know the car pretty well and have spares at home from the 16v. I've had 8v, 16v and now wanted to try VR6, more so for the noise more than anything. I'm sure it'll be love at first sight no doubt. I went for a highline as I wanted heated leather and black trim.
I've just put a deposit down on a 1997 R reg highline. 126k miles with FSH and 3 owners. Seller is a dub enthusiast and needs to fund his MK1 project hence the sale. He said in his ownership he's treated every single bit of rust on the car and resprayed a few panels and bumper. The car is 100% standard, which is a bonus! Even has a cassette player!
Picking it up on Sunday so will let you guys know over the week how it goes!
List of mods to do (hopefully while loan is being paid off):
BMC CDA
Full exhaust system, including manifold
Repair my Team Dynamics pro race 1.2 wheels, source one more and then put them on the car
Decent coilovers
ECU chip
Polybush front and rear (removed the polybushes from the 16v, they looked new, so will reuse them!)
Hopefully all in the next year!!!
