VR6gaz 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Since about september ive been think of selling the VR and investing in Raddo VR or mk2 VR. But recently ive seen some very nice looking mk3's (mainly on this site) and now im not sure wot to do?Ive got 3 options really 1. sell mine and buy a Raddo for similar money2. sell mine and use money to build a mk2 VR3. keep mine and swap all the bits i dont like (alloys, rear spoiler etc....)for stuff i do like Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 well when my time comes I will be looking for a nice mk2VR. (Until R32 available in my range) What does your heart desire ?????? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6gaz 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 really cant decide! ideally i want a proper project car and funds are a bit tight, so doin anything major to mine is unrealistic at the moment. ive got a few a ppl comin to look at my car in next few days so if i get offered the right price ill prob let her go (im not gonna sell her for peanuts) Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 id say keep yours swap the stuff and if your still not happy then go for somethin else. mk2 or mk3 s/c is the way forward Link to post Share on other sites
Russ_vr6 12 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 id say keep urs mate,if u know its a good car then keep her,there would be nothin worse than gettin/makin a mk2 vr and havin a load of probs u would kick urself for sellin Link to post Share on other sites

purple highline monster 0 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 only trouble with "project" cars like a mk2 vr6 is do they ever get finished? ideal if you can afford to build gradually and have a daily driver but trying to do it on a budget is a killer, whatever price you think it will cost? double it! same with restorations, always hidden costs and extras that need doing, keep yours and get a decent mk2 as a base and do it over time, when you get to the major parts like engine etc you can sell your motor on then to fund the rest to get it up and running on the road, thats what i would do anyway Link to post Share on other sites
