[rayray086]

Looks good indeed! Is that similar to what dubstarmk2 had on his Mk2?

Oh dear I hope so, as from today I have no car to drive, as my sister comes back from Sydney and is taking the mk3 back up to Brisvegas with her (I have enjoyed driving it again)...

However, I have another update: The new colour now extends into all the jams, window sills etc, the bonnet, hatch and all fixed windows are now back in place. It's an outstanding colour, and photos just won't do it justice until I get the whole car finished. Besides, it's too dirty to show off just yet

looking good john. love that colour. i think its an audi tt colour..?

Cheers mate, I wondered where the colour was originally used... TT hey? You won't find a hairdresser driving my Mk2!

You'd have to ask him. All I know is there are a LOT of dark gunmetals in the VAG charts!!!

Cheers!!!

Reviving an old thread here. Golfer (or anyone else who knows), I am about to become the new owner of this car. Can you tell me what gearbox it has in her? Thanks.

I have a feeling I've spoken to your mechanic on the phone once before.

I said it then, and I'll say it now.

20VT!

Ultimately depends what your plans with the car are though. (street/strip/track etc)

I would go on a more street interior personally, this isn't a race car and shouldn't be made into one, it's a street car.

Engine idea sounds nice though.

I'm all for weight saving but I would also like to use my car daily and have it enjoyable to drive, with the right set up this can be achieved without sacrificing too many creature comforts like carpet and sound deadening.

PS I'd go OZ Chrono's in 17' IMHO but maybe I'm stuck in the 90's touring car theme

20vt or VR6t, TT interior, single light grill

Or just drive it as is, and enjoy what is an appreciating classic.
