ive been thinking of this project for about a year and a half so i'm delighted to be able to get it materialised.
ive been on the hunt for a white mk4 golf estate tdi for a while now and i finally spotted one. unfortunately its
only an sdi but as its going to be my daily and have a 911 in the shed, i'm happy with two out of the three.
i sold my previous daily, a 2005 tdi passat and it seemed like faith that a car i've been looking for, for a while
and finally ive a few quid to buy it comes up for sale. a few phone calls later and the deal id done. collecting her
tomorrow up the north.
heres the plan, get it down tomorrow and go about sorting the vrt. has anyone vrt'd a car with the new system?
how does it work? can i simply pay vrt, take the car off the road and start the work and test it once work is finished? or must i pay vrt then get it nct'd and work after? i'm afraid i could be waiting too long for a test??? any ideas?
plans for the car-
been to the local scrap yard today and picked up a mint front end off a silver bora. 2x wings, bonnet slam
panal and biumper carrier. all for a neat 200 notes. the head lights were turning yellow so i left them behind.
so thats the bora front end sorted.
i have ordered a bora/jetta estate r-line kit from germany. i got the front with vw grill intact as appose to the deleted
version. r-line side skirts and 'clean' r-line estate bumper. it has the deleted exhaust pipes as apposed to the one with the exhaust pipes on either side.
i also have porsche 911 wing mirrors and the gt3 rep seat that i haven't sold that will be chucked in for good measure.
i also have a room full of audio bits so i'll put a decent focal, jl audio set up in it.
i have NO idea what to do about rims. want something cheap and effective. this is my daily sonot gonna spent more money on the rims that i did on the car! any suggestions. i was thinking staggered bbs lm but they are on everything at the moment. did anyone see the new bbs lm-r rims? they might do the trick. also, spotted polished bbs ch reps that might do the trick- but i'd prefer dished rims.
any ideas for neat little touches? should i paint the rims and colour code the wing mirrors and vw badges??
ideas and thoughts welcome
