my brother Matt rang me the other day and asked "Do you want a VERY cheap VR?"....... it was so cheap i couldn't say no

we've desided to go half's on the purchase / modding cost's & use it for trackdays & drag racing........i'll be using it a my sort of daily (my proper daily is a pushbike)

were going to keep the purchase/modding cost under £999 & enter it in next years Practical Performance Car £999 Challenge (i've done the last 2)

main reason for it been cheap was that the gearbox was shot, but Matt had one at his unit

......

picked it up today, pulled the VR6 badges off, changed the rear lights & front fogs/reflectors

started cleaning it after I took the pictures, but ran out of daylight before I finished :(

yikes' date=' did you hold it ok? any damage to the car?

i was only doing 65/70 on the un-lit part of the M62 heading to Hull..............there was a thud at the rear of the car, i just thought i'd hit a rock/bit of wood

a little while after that there was an other thud & the car gradually started to pull a to the left

i hoped it was one of the fronts, cos there the wrong size (195/50x15).......but it was a rear (205/50x15)

can't see any damage to the car

robbed a caliper off a Ibiza Cupra Sport that Matt's breaking, handbrake cable was £15 (ish) & stuck 2 near new Firestone's on back (£60 off eBay, 200 miles on them)

....

central locking has been playing up....... sometime wasn't locking at all

swapped the pump thingy in the boot & it's works first time now....... i wasn't expecting an easy fix

i'll be putting this up FOR SALE in early to mid March

reason is....... too many car's

mk1 Golf Driver goes on the road in March........ Gold mk1 Golf trackday car needs to be done....... & i've also got an other project car that will be quicker than the VR (top secret at the mo, will appear mid March)

not sure what price the VR will be yet....... will still be pretty cheap

paint & dents on the drivers side doors will be done...... so will passenger side wing

may even paint the bonnet & spare tailgate

....

if anyone wants it "as is" or without the Hella twins/Red rears i'll do it cheaper & sell sooner

bear in mid tax runs out end of March & i can't tax it til 5th of March at the soonest
