Found this VR6 but........................
« on: 17 October 2007, 21:42 »
Well i've found this VR6 on ebay and it was looking alright til I found one picture which looks like overspray in one of the wheel arches, surley not there's nothing down on the spec but it doesn't look like rust :undecided:. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Volkswagen-Golf-VR6-MK3-89K-WITH-LEATHER_W0QQitemZ250176724518QQihZ015QQcategoryZ9873QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It's the 2nd but last picture. Is this a case of how not to advertise.

nice car but looks lke its had paint..

also,

look at front splitter, one side faded one side not, could have been due to just loosing one side under normal circumstances but also could be coz its had a bump..?

wouldnt mind if it had personally if its been fixed right but its just overspray.... i cant live with it and theirs no need for it, lazy and rushed repair work.

i always look under cars too for this as its a good place to spot overspray...

I love these early VR's my dad had one in grey. He had twin lights, lowered, modified throttle body and a superchip. Funny thing was my dad was in his 50's at the time, had a full beard and smoked a pipe. He was always getting funny looks from the boy racer crowd and then creamed them at the lights. When he sold it 6 years ago it had covered nearly 300,000 miles but was still going strong (He's a sales rep so it was 75% motorway miles).

should have arch liners as Len says

says to me they have been taken off for filling / spraying

I would avoid at all costs, crappy colour as well IMO
