VeedubVR 0 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Liking the vento front end' date=' but loving the boot, where is the release?[/quote']release got smoothed off. Was going to smooth in a cult society plinth but they are a really bad fit and take alot of work to get rightSo I got a US centre console shipped over which have a factory boot relsease button. Just need to wire in a boot popper and its sorted. (I can get US parts shipped over if anyone is interested, bumpers and bootlids im still enquiring about just due to size) Link to post Share on other sites

VeedubVR 0 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ok so a few things have changed since this was last updated took some pics in "the toon"All about the little touches! Rear brakes were getting slightly worn down so time to change them. What a pain it was! bolts might aswel have been welded on! Part of the brake pipe started ot twist to we had to trace it back to a join that was free. new parts (both sides have been replaced with genuine dealership parts! Just haven't pictured parts for both sides)new vs old (like I said only slightly worn....) The car it to Edition where it made a big stir. Steve Denton tried ot buy the RFs and was generally shocked at how clean it was which made my weekend. Also had a few other people try to buy the RFs or try and do swaps.... but aint happening hahaThe rolling shotSunday arrived at edition and I got handed a little present.... spot the difference So after edition the last show the mk3 was doing was players. Decided that the mk3 was getting changed up a bit for this. I bought some wheels earlier on as soon as they came up. Id had been looking for a set for ages especially in these specs! Got them painted and tyres swapped over.However on the way down to players I got 40miles down the road and I ended up on the back of a flat bed with 3 tyres flat. They werent holding air! Got taken to the next service station were we inflated the tyres and we were on our way.... They seemed to be holding until a few miles down the road and same again. So ran a space saver to players on the back to and form players. Will I be doing players again? NO what a pain! The general organisation was terrible not to mention the awful drive to and from.

VeedubVR 0 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Thanks, the interior was getting alot of looks and good comments. Had to put the window down cos it was getting full of hand marks haha Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubVR 0 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 nearly a year since i updated....well alot has gone on, where to startThe car won runner up mk3 at early editionI picked up a votex from a mate who was breaking his mk3 I know alot of people dont like the votex kit but i love itnext thing to arrive was red BBS centre caps my mate done a trial with red flock and i ended up with a new engine cover Then not much really changed, the car went to vwfest and edition It came off the road after edition and we made a start in december with the new mods. I wanted to sort out the rest of the interior. For ages i wanted a tweed headliner, so a tip to bradford to MJ interiors and i came back with more tweed than you could shake a stick at and got to worknot a bad effort considering tweed has no stretch at all!The interior was finished off wiht an anni gearknob, new flat bottom steering wheel, black sunvisors, black interior light and a flocked sunroof motor cover and sunroof sealPicked up more splitters, so thats 1 ABT and 2 votexI painted the back of the headlights as the cream always looked dirtyThe next bit was the scariest bit of the winter build. I knew the car wasgoing lower and there was something stopping it. I didnt want the typical "C" shape chasis notch as they look nasty. I dont alot of research and new exactly what I wanted. I asked alot of engineers and welders about strenthening and came up with the perfect OEM looking notch. My Mate as up to the job and he cracked on with it. It was very time consuming but it paid off!i needed to get arches redone due to running so low on coilies. it had managed to mash all 4. I didnt have time or the money for full shoot, so got 4 arches front bumper and bonnet done We had an 18 lying around so tried it on....After browsing around on the internet i came across an airride kit.... which was in budget. I knew my front coilovers were bust and leaking and needed replacing so it was the perfect opportunity. Went to collect and me and few mates had it fitted over a weekend. Left if air'd up and came back the next day and it still was up and was a week after. No leaks which was fantastic. Boot build is very minimal with the only thing on show is half a tank which is wrapped in tweed and the rear quarters are boxed housing the compressors. Its part trick There was a few teething and still is a few. The front bags were catching the inner strut tower so we extended the 3 ball joint holes to bring the hub out. the bags still catch every now and then causing the back to rotate on the strut. One of the rear lines got crushed on the rear beam so it needed rerouting but wasnt problem.It handles just as good as coilies and rides as comfy as stock. Also for the first time ever ive had 4 people in the car! The end result parked up at UD on the Understated standThe front can go lower but the front end was resting on the splitter which was caused the splitter to crack down the side and the end to pop out so it will sit on rim all the way round when a different splitter is used Thanks for looking see you at elsecar Link to post Share on other sites
