New wheels on today, cost me 50 notes hehe need to get some lower profiles on them tho



found the same mk3 driver seats (in perfect condition) that i put into mk mk2 driver so going to get the front seats from the scrappy, get the retrimmed swap the subframes over and whack them in 

[dubsport]

well today i stripped out the carpets, gave them a good clean and fitted a mk3 handbrake and mk3 GTI seats    cant wait to drive this car 

before ...


after ...




and the bbs shot

Just spent ages writing a post then clicked the wrong button and its all gone PHUCK!

Anyway today i set about taking the shocks, brake discs and pads off the donor car ... found out the shocks are Blistiens and in really good condition hopefully on monday my mate can fit my Apex lowering springs onto them and i can get rid of that 4x4 look. Took the bumper of the donor car as it was in better condition and boot polished up the trim, looks brand new Fitted the Rallye doorcards today and rear bench so the interior is now looking like this:





and the donor car interior 



Changed over a few parts from the engine bay as well, coolant bottle, short shift kit (apparently?)  mk3 weighted shift rod and the scuttle board in the H reg GTI is reall thick unlike the brittle plastic ones i have had in my other golfs so i put that in aswell




so any way how they stand tonight on the driveway, my mum loves it really ... contrary to what she says

[dubsport]

bought some Wolfsburg plate surrounds on ebay but got sent this instead, it should have been £18.99 ... i paid £8 for it 



so i have ordered some more surrounds and genuine yellow fog lights just waiting for them to arrive 

Also bought a Pipercross panel filter, might drill the box as im getting a sprinter vent welded into the wing soon 



finally what the engine bay looks like when i bought it and now

[dubsport]

Full exhaust system has been put on and my new back box. The ol girl needs a new manifold gasket i think. still need to change the oil/oil filter and fill her up with some SUPER (RAAHH) unleaded

Got the plate surrounds today, didnt realise they are the ones that lock the plate in so you dont need to screw the plate to the bumper only problem is i cant find my front plate soooooo im going to order some new plates now ... maybe pressed plates the yellow fog lights still havent arrived so thats the reason is still jacked up

AIR RIDE haha





oh and the 60mm lowering springs are on but as the car is still on axle stands i havent seen what it looks like...

also bought a new sticker .. its funny coz its true 



so yeah thats up to date, needs the windscreen replaced and then in for an mot 

[dubsport]

Here she is with the new lowered stance, really happy with how the car is looking now     I will get some better photos when she isnt stuffed behind another 4 cars
