  1. Yeah oldmandon!! Gonna remove the arch trims and get it a bit smoother looking, will also allow me to roll the arches to tuck them wheels under! Gonna need a new exhaust as well and while I' m at it, getting things polished, powdercoated and chromed. Have seen a carbon fibre vento bonnet but not sure if it's a bit much.
  2. At the same time as getting things mechanically sound,I am also gonna start hoarding parts for the aesthetic side of things...List of wants!! 1.Vento Front End - Anybody got anything? 2. BBS RS (Although realistically will be a set of Lenso or Dares till the cashflow is better!! 3.Bagyard Air ride set up (Mechanical & Aesthetic) If anybody has any ebay links and other parts for sale on other forums,could you let me know... Thanks in advance
  3. Messy, must have been toning it, or it was a cut and shut. Nice clean rip!! :\
  4. Cheers for the replies. Good idea oldmandon, the old ace Ventura trick... Didn't think of that!!
  5. Cheers for the info Kezwaldo, Whats the best place to check to see if fuel is getting through? Would it be the pipe on the Fuel Pressure regulator? Cheers in advance
  6. I have been out in the garage today and had a look round the electrical system on the VR6 to see if I could get it jump started. Checked the Spark plugs 1st and found that the lead to Cylinder 2 is snapped at the top... Would this cause the engine to not fire up or do they still fire on 5? Not that I want to, but it would point to getting the plugs, leads and battery relaced 1st before worrying about relays and fuses. The car has power, dash lights are present and when turning the ignition, the relays tick and the fuel pump gives a whir... the engine will turn over but not fire.. As there i
  7. Awesome bus Dude...just sold a 55' - but surprisingly don't miss it... pain in the arse to drive, even after fitting the Creative Steering and rebuilding the engine.. And in reply to the Vr in the Mk 2.... Yes all the way
  8. Cheers again Lukey - £60 is a bargain
  9. Cheers Lukey... I'll look into MK4 calipers. Oldmandon - It seems whatever I buy, it always turns into a big project!
  10. Well, It has just arrived and is now sitting on my drive. Brakes are partially seized due to it been sitting for about 12 months, I think its the rears as the handbrake is only clicking once and then pulling up.. I'll sort that first so its easier to pull in and out of the garage. Battery is completely dead, so will get that on charge too. I can then start looking at where the starting problem is. Then I'll have a good look round, make the list and then start working through it. Probably remove all trim (wheelarch and sill) to have a proper look at the extent of the rot.. Then sort that out
