    A small udate: New coilovers and top mounts have been fitted: I wasn't keen on the wheels so managed to find these on ebay with brand new Toyo tyres for £144 As I'm running it a bit low there is a certain amount of scrubbing so I removed the front plastic arches. Nearside was fine but the offside looked like this: I'm now on the lookout for a new front wing. Here's a pic to show how low it is: Hopefully the front end will be getting re-sprayed soon and I'll be replacing the wishbones, track rod ends, etc soon too as they look like they could use some attention. Comments welcome. :-)

    Hi all, I've noticed that the nearside front wheel sits slightly forward in the wheel arch than the other side. Any ideas what would cause this? Cheers Ben

    Hi all, I'm looking at ideas on which alloy wheels to go for and really like this one: I know it's a 17" wheel from a new shape beetle but can these wheels be bought new? Cheers Ben

    I'd love to but I still haven't pulled my finger out and fitted the new coilovers. Definatelt up for next month. Is it always going to be the third sunday then?

    That looks bloody marvelous!! As above, what wheels are they?

    I just went for cheap JOM coilovers and standard top mounts. I've had the JOM's before and for the money was impressed. They have arrived so should be fitted over the weekend.

    Cheers for the comments! Also, a friend of mine fitted a Viper Cat1 alarm for me, we sorted the central locking out with a new pump and have sorted the head unit with new power and ignition feeds. Getting there!!

    Hi all, I had a bit of spare time over the weekend so gave the car a once over. Washed, clayed, washed again, polished, waxed and dressed the trims and tyres. I'm pretty pleased with the results. There are still some swirls that I'll get rid of with the DA when I have some more time. Also coilovers and new top mounts all round have been ordered so another update shortly. Ben

    Very nice indeed mate, a credit to you!! I really liked the all red lights.

    Cheers for the replies. So I started to do some jobs on the VR today. Pulled up the carpets, emptied the wated in the footwells and dried out the sound-proofing. Also re-glued the carpet on the back seat: I then took the rear o/s wheel off to clean up the arches and paint the caliper and disc, This is what I found: So the Koni's have had it really. I'll be looking into buying a new set of coilovers and top mounts while I'm at it. I also noticed that the wheels didn't have spigot rings on either. Not the end of the world but something else to think about. Ben

    Well, it's no beauty but it is black...........sort of! This isn't really going to be a ground breaking project, just somewhere I can keep a track of what I have done to the car. Some of the projects in here are insane and act as good inspiration. My VR6 was bought as a cheap runabout with a few issues that I could sort out. I picked it up just over a week ago for the princely sum of £675. It's got Koni coilovers, 17" alloys of unknown make, a scorpion cat back exhaust system and an induction kit. The engine is on 142k with a good bit of history behind it. The bodywork is actually very tidy

    Silly question?

    Hi all, I've got the typical problem of my central locking not working on my VR6, loud noise from the boot, etc. I obviously need to replacce the pump. Are they all the same? Will any MK3 Golf pump do the trick? Cheers Ben
