Wonder what gold brake drums and calipers would look like.... lets find out!!

[vinny_69]

or convert em to disc's maybe

[Ben_Mk3]

In the future yeah but not for a while, it's got bigger front brakes than my auto so no worries of it not stopping!

Right, I've got hoses and pipework sorted, we need to get the emissions corrected now. I think I have a suitable lambda sensor and hopefully the other faults can be fixed with simple servicing and a gallon of Redex.

Welding should be pretty straightforward I hope!

Glad to see I'm not the only one who relys on the great god Redex. 
I use a bottle every tankfull, double strength, does the job for me. 
Seriously, I hope all goes well with this project. It's way too good to scrap.

ive painted my discs and calipers gold, they look good

[Ben_Mk3]

Yeah I think I'm gonna paint my disks and drums gold along with the engine cover then tint my rear lights, side repeaters and front lights, should look quite good me thinks :)

Me thinks you could be right Ben.

Well I wanted to get the sport out this morning and clean the inside up but as is life it's p*****g down with rain so nothing new to report!

[Ben_Mk3]

On the bright side though I have thought of a list of things to do but the big things wont be until mid next year!! when I'm in full time work and the more important things are done:

Soon:
Re-fit sport interior
Fit chrome interior handles
Change all bulbs & switches to Leds
Re-fit colour coded handles
Fit remote locking
Swap my false floor over from the auto
Swap my headunit, sub & amp over from the auto

Next year:
GSi kit
Ph2 gsi spoiler
5 Stud
Cav turbo rimage
Respray in arden blue with metal flake
Tinted rear windows

That's a brief plan, if I think of anymore I'll add to it but as said, the plans wont be soon, they'll be when I can afford them!!

[Netwalker]

Some tastie plans there that will transform the car. It will look the dogs when you get it resprayed to arden blue.

[Ben_Mk3]

Yeah I spoke to "the painter" on here about it the other night and he gave me a fantastic price for it so defo going to happen next year! just gotta get work sorted, the other car sold and this one running before I start spending serious cash on it, the respray will cost a little over double what the car cost lol

[sam_MK3]

this is a good car ben im glad you decided to keep it hopefully i will see you at shows next year in it 

[the painter]

Im looking forward to painting it!!!!

I love doing " modded " cars, its so much more fun!

[Ben_Mk3]

I can't wait for you to paint it!!

Hopefully I'll pass my test in the new year, get my full time job then I'll set up a savings account for funding it then i'll be coming to see you :)
