Hey i'm liking that idea might have to nick it lol :

Just a bit more cleaning today, still plenty more under the bonnet to do tho, fitted the engine cover back on after the final coat of lacquer, Managed to find some chrome strut top covers too (homemade alternative) lol, they fit quite well i think, still need a new expansion tank, brake fluid reservoir and would like to fit some sort of battery box as not too keen on the jacket

[geo7087 11]

if you end up getting rid of the jacket mark any chance i can get first refusal on it? been trying to source one for far too long

thought about doing the VW badge on the rocker blue?

Latest update

Well last night the car decided to blow a hole in a coolant pipe coming from the

back of the block to the heater matrix, coolant and steam everywhere :S

managed to order a replacement from the dealers today so will hopefully be back on

the road tomorrow when it arrives

loving your ca mate.. has given me a couple of ideas for mine.. nothing too copycat though. this maybe a stupid question but do VR's come with the arch bits as standard or is that the GTI kit

Cheers mate, I think its the early vr's that came with arch trims upto 94/95 or obd1 cars and later models without.

I may be wrong tho

Ok after my burst water pipe this arrived today so time to replace the faulty hose and flush the coolant system at the same time.

Was quite easy to replace, Newly fitted hose pictured below.

Also decided to remove the carpet from under the bonnet lol, Looks much better and cleaner in my opinion, Also tried cleaning up the expansion tank (well the misses did) hot water, salt water, dishwasher tablets lol, it came up a little cleaner.

Then fitted my silvatec front indicator bulbs.

Before

After

[dman78 1]

does your indicators still give a orange glow when they're on

[Lukey. 381]

i tried that with my expansion tank as it was opaque, even tried sharp sand and coca cola after dishwasher tablets, bleach and baking soda didnt shift it, still opaque haha

[cornishvr6 52]

Well had a great weekend up in Gloucestershire with the misses and martin and sal, (

Went on a very spirited drive around the forest of dean and surrounding areas which we experienced some amazing driving roads which really suited the vr, Thanks again to our Local tour guides and for the storage of the cage too lol,

Didn't manage to get any rolling shots just this one back at the petrol station (for the 2nd time that day lol)

Then this morning it was time for a good clean (Again) and fit my rear cage, Which was a little interesting at times with lots of swearing, moving bars around adjusting them etc etc but finally got there in the end so whilst eating a well deserved bacon sarnie got the misses on the case to polish the cage up a little

Looks good dude , nice work !

[Lukey. 381]

do you know the width and ET of your wheels? im assuming they are 7.5J ET38? did you have to touch the arches to get no scrubbing, i took mine that low and it hit a slight bit so i raised it up a tad

[cornishvr6 52]

[/quote']

not sure on the et but they are 7.5 wide, i haven't touched the arches but looking at past receipts back in 2004 it has had some rear arch work undertaken of some sort,

don't get any scrubbing just a bit on full lock occasionally

HI Matey, love your thread great read, your bodywork looks immaculate!!!

Loving the plinth i think with the amount of interest we should try a and get a discount lol.

Anyways thanks for a good read!

[scott-mk3 0]

Love this mate. Reminds me of my old one. Wish had never sold it, on the look for another now to replace it lol.

Bodywork looks great for an early one.

[cornishvr6 52]

Thanks for the comments guys,

Yes the plinth has generated alot of interest, i think they look much better and fit well too,

The bodywork is ok just a few bits i want sorting ready for the show season,

it does look quite similar if its the one in your sig? i love the bbs ch's i would like a set of those,

Have you any more pics of your old one scott?
