All my arches and trims are done ready to be fitted tommorow so it's getting there.. got the roof polished up which was the last thing to do bodywork side.. just waiting on wheels being made now and getting them painted.. hopefully it will look alright at the vw festival in august in leeds...

    Now I'm. Ploughing through the bodywork side of the mk2 vr I'm wanting to start on making the engine run a little smoother and give it a bit of probably a long overdue service and clean out generally.. My question is what's the best way to give the coolant system a good flush out? Can I run the engine whilst having a hose maybe into the header tank to circulate the water while I have a hose off the bottom of the radiator?? Or is the best way to just drain it all off via a bottom rad hose then refill and drain again a couple of times until I'm happy? Advice would be much appreciated on what yo

    Today I managed to get quite a lot done... windows back in, rubber trims on, front end on, wiper motor and arms, door seals etc etc.... All I have left to do is flat and polish the roof (I've just flattened it down tonight) so it's ready to re polish back up maybe tommorow or Thursday. It's absolutely filthy inside and out to be honest so next on my list is to get it cleaned down to a degree that I can still use it.. Textured black paint is ready to be picked up so I can get the tops of the bumpers, arches, skirts and door mouldings all re painted with a fresh coat of black. Bumpers I will j

    Today was productive, got started around 10am and started flatting down the fresh paintwork for a good buff up with the machine polisher.. really happy with the end result being that I done the whole respray in a garage without the conditions of a spray booth.. I used 2000 wet and dry with plenty water and soapy detergent so stop it from sticking and dragging across the panels. After a good flat down I got out the polisher and started with the compound (g3).. keeping it cold so I didn't burn it but went over each panel until there was no visible scratches left from flattening. All I need to do

    Sunday has arrived... and so did the paint and laquer for the mk2.. got it all taped up this morning and started to lay down the first coat of paint, covered all the primer patches first then moved onto putting a dusty coat across the full car for colour.. The fresh paint I put on it seemed to be so metallicy compared to the paint that was already on, maybe a different variant to what the last painter used.. I have used around 2 litres of colour and around 3 ltrs of anti scratch lacquer to get a high build on the panels so there is enough to flat down and buff up, the car isn't standing me muc

    Now I'm here lol.... another couple of coats of primer on the bonnet on Friday then I'm gonna pain it on Sunday, with any luck I should have it done, windows back in and all flattened and polished by Wednesday next week.. I've got some banded steels being made at present to 8j front and 9j rears. Gonna do something with them that's gonna be a bit marmite I think, your either gonna think it's different and like or literally hate it hahaha... I will upload some more snaps next week once I've got some paint on it.. jimmys oakvr

    When I got home after weeks of searching through eBay I got to order a few hundred quids worth of new bits and pieces to make it a little better and feel like my own.. After giving it a good clean inside and out I started to notice all the chips/scratches and little bits and bobs that would eventually need sorting out.. but never the less I gave it a machine polish and got out what I could and touched up what was needed to use it as my daily until I got time to get it all repaired and repainted.. jimmys oakvr

    From here I got the interior in and arches/bumpers/lights and original grill back on. And got it to this... I stumbled upon a few extra parts that I didn't seem to need (must have been bought as spares).. Next came it's MOT to see what it was really like and what type of depth I was getting myself Into.. fearing the worst I booked it up for the next week and drove it there... On the way, disaster.. It overheated.. steam from the bonnet, temp through the roof (I stopped as soon as it was safe) switched off and let it cool down.. eventually got it to the MOT test station and it began... Guess w

    So... thought I would start a thread about my mk2 that I bought around April this year (2014)... I bought it from a guy in Newcastle (not far from me) for a very respectable price.. basically I bought the car after selling my mondeo st220 wanting to get into the vag scene... always wanted to get a raddo vr6 since I was a kid and first set eyes on one but when this came up I couldn't resist... The car has been around the mill of owners (all seem to be club members from different forums). its seems to have done the rounds but came out still in good shape.. I took it on with no MOT, no TAX but wi

    Cooz, are you gonna come down to leeds for the vw festival? It's at Harewood house in august for a weekend? We have a stand there and I think there is still 2 places left if you want your vr on there? Great weekend, bring the family if you have one? We are camping from Friday to Sunday. Plus by the time you get to durham we could travel in convoy. . About 4-5 of us from here jimmys oakvr

    just grabbed myself some 6 week old 15" steel wheels on ebay for £35... gonna get them banded upto 8j and 9j.. any thoughts on colours or polished lips? are you a fan? (watch daveyboy) he hates the idea... lol they are to go on my mk2 vr in oak green so im thinking silver with a polished dish would look pretty sweet, with maybe a camber shim or 2 to give it a nice look.. discuss please? your thoughts and ideas are appreciated..
  24. jaks14
