J5KE F 0 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Ok this little rarety was an ebay steal by a new found TS 'consortium'..Shes 96 P reg153kAnd needs a little bit of tlcSince we bought her to sell on we've all grown a little attached and are now thinking of keeping her as a pool vr.. (excuse the pun)She's already had the hella quads and golf front end swapped over with a vento converted golf (thanks ben)Now we're toying with changing the black leather to beaver.. Possibly the 3.5 dash plus my wheels his way! (ben again) After that the vortec sc will be going in (thanks mark) and then the audi pepperpots for winter (jim)Before...Improvements to follow Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 no arm rest means it isnt a vento bench then yeah suits the squarer rear of the vento I think mate Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Ah I am after one with an armrest! Cheers anyway and looks alot better with vento front end Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I like mate. It does look better with its 'proper' front end on.Why not stick the vrt lump in??? :-) Link to post Share on other sites
palmer 17 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Lookin good m8 vento front looks alot better than the golf front................im not entirely sure of the dual exhaust but thats jus me !! Nice project though fella good luck with it all. Link to post Share on other sites
J5KE F 0 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Nope.. the exhaust looks poo but sounds lurvely!Defo vento front end works well me thinks Need to ditch the steering wheel, get new top tint screen and source a new bootlid.. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Good looking project. The twin exhausts would look a lot better if they were grafted back to look neater instead of sticking out so far.... Link to post Share on other sites
