It's probably going to rain constantly for a few weeks now lol
-
Yeah tell me about it lol also to demist the screen I have to use the air con so that makes it even colder lol To be honest I went for the full membership so I could use said guide lol and also because I wanted a tax disc holder lol It doesn't seem to bad of a job in the guide but I'm still not looking forward to it! I also noticed the guide is non ac and my car has ac so I'm not sure what difference that will make. Pm sent

Your really going for it this car will be very special when it's finished, seems ventos really like to rot!
-
I'm struggling abit at the moment as it's my daily and it currently has no door cards, no stereo, the heater controls for temperature and where it comes out are not doing what they are supposed to do and the heater matrix has let go! I have had to bypass it for the time being which is ideal seeing as it's getting cold out lol On the plus side I have ordered some tyres so the bbs should be on the car next weekend.
-
That's the problem with old cars the chances are at least one idiot has owned it in its life, mines been owned by many idiots I think lol The doors are very clean and only a 10er each complete, one is pretty dented but rust free
-
Awesome great to see another vento getting saved
-
I will stick with it, I think I have a buyer for the bulk of my RS Turbo stuff so that will pay to get it painted!
-
It's getting there, it is pretty tempting to give up at times but I really want to see this through!
-
Still slowly making progress with this, I have bought many boring things. Firstly all four doors were rusty so I bought 4 rust free doors to replace them and proceeded to fit them at the weekend. When working on this car it's never long till you stumble upon a bodge of some description and changing the doors carried on that tradition. Literally the first thing I removed was the door pin on one of the rear doors where I found this And then this The drivers door randomly had dynamat in it so I guess this was replaced already at some point I can see why the old doors rusted the inside of them

This is much better! All the best forums use this software it's so easy to use!
-
The rarity is what makes it worth it I suppose, the list is long but I'm sure I will get through it! The most annoying issues at the moment are the heater controls don't seem to have much bearing on what the heater does and it's got the crappest alarm in history installed by the biggest idiot in history so I need to try and get that removed somehow.
-
Awesome stuff! Good to see a vento getting treated to an engine like this
-
To be honest I would more likely reshell it I to a mk2 than break it
-
The trouble is every element of the car has problems so the list if what needs doing is pretty long, ill just chip away at it and hope I don't get so pissed off with it that I break it.
-
I'm out of hospital and getting back on my feet so now it's time to get on with this car. The more I dig the more nightmares I find though so its touch and go currently wether I'm going to break it. Abit more parts collecting Heated seat loom and switch etc Boot lid Grill Back bumper Mint rears Corrado spoiler So today we set about removing the tow bar and hacked about rear bumper, the replacement bumper is far from mint but it doesn't have a huge hole in it and its the rite colour so it will do until its paint time. Found quite abit of rust hiding behind the bumper, 2 of the bumper br

So far not so good when it comes to this vento. I am yet to have a week of ownership where it hasn't broken down lol The latest is a split water pipe, I had to buy 8 1.5 litre bottles of evian to get me home! I have got an operation on Wednesday so to get me through until then we came up with the amazing bodge! All the coolant pipes feel quite soft so I will buy a set of samcos once I'm all recovered from my op, for now the bodge is working fantastic lol I have also had a quote I'm happy with to get the car welded/repaired and painted so now I need to try and source 4 clean doors, back bumpe
-
It's definatly not top of my priorities but I have bought a nearly new alpine headunit and a wiring kit of a mate, both of which have seen very very little use in his cossie he just sold Which means my subs which I have had for years will find their way into the vento, coincidently they are green so they match the car. They are infinity kappa 120.1 I have had them since I started driving almost but I don't often fit them to a car, the vento has a big boot so why not! They are pretty good considering they are over 10 years old. Pictured in my £200 217k mondeo I had for a while lol I think I

Yeah the exhaust has got to go its not just the 90's style it also blows a fair bit on the middle section. The pics don't really show how bad it is the paint is pretty bogged in many places it needs a repaint

Fixed the water leak today it turned out to be the part that goes onto the end of the crack pipe so I had to go get one of those, the o rings round the sensors were also leaking and the expansion cap was mullered. I'm hoping now with all new seals, stat and housings I won't be touching that again for a while. While apart we noticed the electric water pump is missing and has been replaced with a cable tie and a pipe joiner lol Also noticed this lovely cable tie gear linkage There were certainly some yeehaw previous owners lol
-
So first things first i have been driving the car a few days and I am sick of seeing.... This Or this So I have purchased a few bits to try and rectify the problem I'm hoping to get this sorted today so I can drive the car without carrying 6 litres of water lol
-
Thanks I have 3k plus worthof big spec rs turbo stuff to sell so I think I should be able to make something of this with that.

I haven't been on here for a while but I have just purchased a dragon green vento vr6 so I thought I would start a thread. I used to own a dragon green golf vr6 a few years ago which we used to call the big six so that makes this big six 2, I had big plans for my last one but after a promising start I started to get silly with money and the car didn't get the attention it deserved. After a few cracked sumps I sold it to a mate and bought a 3dr Citroen zx volcane turbo d which after a very eventful 2 weeks I crashed it into a telegraph pole (there's only 3 3dr volcanes left) I had an RS2000, mo

latest pic of the car lol yep thats the AA recovering me from the hockey stadium MK last night as i managed to snap a driveshaft being a dick lol you would have thought the CV would fail or the shaft would pop rather than it snap but i managed to snap it clean in half lol on the plus side i have got the new shaft on and the car is back on the road already!
-
right i fitted my new wheels today and im pretty happy with them, im not sure what to do with the rear center caps though as they dont clear the grease covers the car has been raised abit as we are going to do the arches next weekend but the above pics will be the final ride height
