    Can you even polish the lips of steels? I'm with daveyboy on this not a fan,steels should be for vans only! Or landys!

    £1500-£2000? I have seen a few that didn't need much work going on the Bay recently for around the £1k mark and less......................... I've been restraining myself!!!

    The things we do just to be a little bit different! You can hardly give standard euro bumpers away over here, is it the same in Mexico with the US stuff? I think the US rear bumper has a better shape to it though!

    Hi and welcome to the club! Very entertaining read! Sounds very similar to how I ended up with an old VR6, wasn't brave enough to drive it back though!

    Yeah wasn't sure about just the handles either,that's why I got the chrome belt guides and I thought the vw badge on the new steering wheel would help tie it all in together,I'm doing my best to brighten it up a bit whilst trying to keep it looking factory....ish, as these mk3 interiors are pretty dull as standard I think, probably why people love ridiculous ott retrims, not a fan!

    Exactly what I was thinking, the same went for the 3.5 steering wheel as people are asking £100+ for them without slip rings, I've been looking for a bargain set for a while but they don't come up! Theres a set on here in really good nick for about the going price but just can't bring myself to buy them!

    Weather wasn't to bad I thought, Did most of it yesterday morning well fitting all the bits anyway! Oh I also forgot that the passenger door catch packed up the day of the amd rolling road day so got the 2nd hand catch fitted which wasn't much fun, though I didn't have to wreck the door card like a lot of people on the net seem to think you have to do! The catch on the other hand; I'm now trying to decide whether to get a set of anniversary red seat belts not sure though?

    Overdue a little update here I think mostly because of other projects (nothing exciting pond building mostly!). Been picking up a few bits from good old eBay for the interior including chrome handles and seat belt guides,before;after; Seat belt guides; Then had a result the other day by getting a mk3.5 steering wheel complete with airbag and slip ring for £35 delivered; Was a bit worn so gave it a polishwith some leather repair paint; Then got it fitted; Managed to switch the ignition on with the airbag unplugged so popped it down to work to turn the light off and remembered it had a slight k

    I just rolled the top edge slightly ( no point rolling the whole arch) so that lining still could sit behind the lip,like this; so that even if it did slightly catch you wouldn't get the sharp edge of the wing catching on the tread blocks of the tyre and ruining both in the process!

    I don't what your talking about bealieboy here's my graph:) Yeah the edge of amd's rollers were about 5mm from my sump so I didn't think it was worth chancing it! Anyway bealieboy you put your mudflaps back on yet?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ford gt's were supercharged, this is a Hennessy 1000re or whatever, which if you look it up they get twin turbo'd then detuned to 1000bhp!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Was having a flick through the salvage sites today to try to buy a couple of damaged vans to keep us busy at work as we do, anyway spotted this and thought it looked a bit special then spotted a couple of extras in the engine bay and realised just how special:o . Then googled it, holy mother of god I'm in love!!!!!! http://www.copart.co.uk/c2/individualLot.html?lotId=15504894&returnPage=SEARCH_RESULTS

    That looks like it's been nicely converted, likes it's been there from the factory! Will only take half hour or so to swap the lights over so if you don't like em you can swap em straight back. Never been a big convertible car fan in general but hearing that vr6 growl with the roof down must be brilliant!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not to sure, I got mine with a load of other bits I bought and luckily the bloke I bought it from pointed it out to me otherwise I would've sold or scrapped the cat with it on it! I work with a couple of exhaust fitters so I'll pick their brains to see if these sort of things came on other cars, I'll get it off tomorrow and take a couple of pics so you know what your looking for as well.
