[VR6_ROB]

got my crystal indicators today for the side
dont have a picture of them on the car yet as i want to take a picture when all the lights are on

[VR6_ROB]

vr6 is on the road now

failed its first mot on...

drivers seat had broken underneath but i think it can be fixed as i dont think it snaps it clicks back into place but as soon as you sit on it
it clicks down on one side.

window wipers replaced now

wheel bearing which just needed nipping up

that was it not bad really changed the seat for its mot retest sailed through.
also had my lights set up which i think are wrong not very bright
and had tracking done so it drives in a straight line

not done alot since it has crystal crosshairs outer and innner lights
crystal indicators
awaiting crystal smoked rear lights

g60 front arches fitted
had a bit of trouble getting the vr6 clocks to work
had them working but wrong relay was in fuse box and
it went up in smoke

put a 32 relay in instead of a 30 kept eye on it seems to be fine
but mfa does not work now and petrol gauge is all over the place

in the winter months im going to attempt polishing the top of the engine
readjust the bonnet as it wont shut properly

save up for some new rims
and get koni shocks with eibach springs or otherway round cant remember

and last but not least get some pics up soon

[VR6_ROB]

well here I go again vr6 block decided to let go at harewood house earlier this year
work have gave me a van to run around in so I have decided to start the car all over again
but I am going into more depth this time

not alot has gone on since harewood house the car is in the garage in a few bits and pieces
I have decided to save up a good bit of cash so I aint skinting myself with my car

as for the engine the plan so far is to get the VR rebuilt dont know who by yet
but i want the following

263cams
head gas flowed port polished
full bottom end rebuild
lightened balanced clutch/flywheel
6 branch manifold

then a charger in the future I was going to take the turbo route but that was going to cost a bomb

anyway firstly I am getting the shell sorted out first few bits of bodywork
engine bay mainly then suspension brakes interior
so far I have started stripping the car ready for the bodyshop mid january time hopefully
I should be saved up then

heres a few pics took me just under 5 hours when I had the time to get it to this stage
not been touched for about 2 month now trying to collect a few parts









should be a few more updates shortly

[VR6_ROB]

another quick update I forgot to mention I purchased some new alloy wheels from a forum member
they look small but the car is parked on uneven ground

they are 5x100 vr6 bbs alloys powder coated chrome/black
got them wrapped in toyo t1r's

[VR6_ROB]

well been busy lately decided to get cracking on the car I have enough cash saved up now to get the ball rolling
the cars booked into the bodyshop on the 31st of january get some nice little touches done and a couple of repairs
so i stripped the car out to start again just after some interior ideas when i put it back together keeping the rallye interior

here is a few pictures I will post up new ones when it gets started in the bodyshop
thought i might aswell do everything repaint the insides myself when it comes back and renew all the soundproofing

had all this to sort out first it was a right mess
