Oops with Facebook and Instagram I keep forgetting to update, for the first time in years, cars not being fully stripped over winter, just a few detail to take car of that we didn't have time for this year, rear install to be trimmed to natch seats and dash, new headliner and at last I'll have time to get the gearbox and engine painted up. Anyways a couple of pics from ultimate stance

Install time

Still a fair bit to do but getting there

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

Well stuck it together tonight, just to make sure it all fits together still happy with result so thought I'd share.

Tonight I got it rolling, built up the passenger door internals but still need exterior handles to finish them.

Also fitted the quarter glass, just waiting on a windscreen trim to fit that too

Looks like a decent shell, I did the same with my mk3 when I fell out with my 5 door

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

Oh it's been so much worse with paint on this shell, but it's finally at a place I'm mega chuffed with so all good.

More progress now

Late night last night....

Engine in and cooler setup trials, mishimoto 50% bigger rad and biggest cooler I could fit anodised black too.

All fits behind uncut std bumper

Brakes on too

I'll just leave this here

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

So engine bits back today, off stand tomorrow to time it up and fit single mass flywheel for o2m

Wheel centres back so put together

Some trim pics so far

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

Got my hubs back from engineers today, had ibiza stub axles modified to accept mk5 rear bearings, meaning 5x112 direct fit again but my new brakes will bolt up no worries to them

Studs fitted to hubs

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

Cheers Mark

Some decent progress today, just waiting on wheel centres and valve guides and seals

Stripping factory laquer

2000, 1200 hard mop then soft, came up pretty well

Stripped headliner and expanding foamed the recesses

Stripped engine down, always had a oil burn issue on the car, turns out the supertech seals are letting way to much past them, so fitting new guides and oem seals

Thought it would be rude not to match the ports while I was there

Interior should be back this week, along with car

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

Cheers guys, preparing interior for going to trim this week..

Started with door cards, cut required part out, recessed it and fibreglassed the gap

Then onto dash, I don't use the std tt switches and going to be running heated screen and seats so don't need heaters, heater box removed and plan to fit two remote servos under there

Dash trimmed in depth and then filler plates made for corners

Fibreglassed over all in required holes

Smoothed off and left it today just needing a quick sand in the morning

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

Nice wee delivery today, can't wait to fit it

[My Black Vr6 3.2, Recaro CS, TT dash, Next stop VW Days :-)]

Nice seats mate

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

They see me Rollin'

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

Floor now under coated, base coated and laquered

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

Floor now fully sealed, coat of stone chip and colour to be applied tomorrow

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

It's fluid displacement, a type of hydraulic suspension, only rams at each corner

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]

First coat of por15 on the n/s floor

And as it sits just now, full floor is primed, cage mounts all welded in, will be spray sealer end tomorrow then colour will be done on the underside. Then off to paint so I can clean up the engine and prepare for it 6 speed goodies and 35psi.

[My mk3 vr6 turbo]
