vdubmad01 3 Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Ok so may be along read but will see where it goes. back in 2007 is where it all started for me with mk3’s. first car was a 1.4 60hp beast and oh god it was slow but loved the character. Spent every penny I made on the car. New suspension,bushes,brakes,full respray you prob get the picture looked great unfortunately I can’t seem to find any photos of it but will add the once I can. on had that for 12months and fancied a change and when mk4 but we won’t go into that on here 😂 so having been out of the mk3’s for a fair few years in 2014 I bought a mk3 estate tdi and OMG all the memories came back and I knew that the bug was back for good. so having that 12 months got abit board and was offered good money for it so sold it and bought a passat b5.5 but hey we won’t talk about that on here 😂 After the passat in 2016 came across a mk3 gti on gumtree cheap As a non runner and the advert said it was solid and had never been welded 😂😂 well trust me wow it was solid no rust anywhere was a really original car and ended up keeping that until last year. also in 2016 I purchased my 2nd mk3 estate tdi and was using it as a daily but it didn’t feel like the first one I had so only had it 6months or so so in 2017 I still had my GTI which I only bought out on odd accessions. in March of 2017 the mk4 I spoke about at the beginning was still in my life but was down to doing a few hundred miles a year in it so decided it needed to go after nearly 10years of ownership. Also in the same March I new of a mk3 vr6 which had been layed up for 5years due to corrosion It need some work. I contacted the owner and said look this is what I want to pay for it and he accepted 😂 so my life long dream of owning a vr6 had come true I also bought a t5 in may of 2017 which ended up been a money pit but also a labour of love. Not long after owning my t5 the gearbox decided to shit it’s self and in fortunalty I had to sell the gti to fund the repairs. so currently in my ownership is Vw T5 Vw golf vr6 oh and last years purchase is my mystic blue mk3 estate tdi the 3rd one 😂 work horse and that pretty much sums it up the vr6 is currently in the garage on axle stands but looks like it may be going to the crusher. I have another lined up tho so don’t worry. So can’t wait to be driving it again just love them IMG_1272.MOV Link to post Share on other sites
