my vr6 cleanup/buildup

[Mk3 Yellow Golf]

I've had my vr6 for a couple of weeks now and thought I would show it off
and show what we have been up to.

This is before we got the car.


this is what it looked like after it got home and had a bath


The interior was very dirty




so we stripped it and cleaned it




Scrubbed everything

[Mk3 Yellow Golf]

and put it back toghether






Then we turned our attention to the hoodliner


stripped it out


covered it in a fabric we found which looked very euro
we wanted to get some velour but could not find any locally
in black so went with this instead
a closeup of the fabric


and on the headliner



then we painted the grab handles and sunvisors
the a,b,c, pillers were already black as it is a colour concept


so thats what we have been up to, the interior is pretty much done we just
need a new steering wheel
next few steps will include maintenance under the engine bay
and other bits around the car.

WOW! Nice find. That is an awesome colour- will certainly turn a few heads. You will find it hard to loose that one in a carpark. Those seats, gear stick, handbrake etc look wicked. You have done a great job on the headliner too. What are your future long term plans?

So cool! Good work on the interior, looks a ton better. Would you be looking into re-upholstering the seats? The Townsville sun must've taken its toll on them...

this better turn into a epic build

good job

[RedVR6]

Glad to see that this ebay number is getting cleaned up. Not sure what you're going to do with the seats, but if it was me, I'd be looking into getting the seats re-dyed (painted) by a leather mob. Retrims are exxy....

[GoLfMan]

awesome work on the clean up mate, looks a million times better!!!

great colour, really looking forward to what your going to do to the outside!

Its nice to see somebody breathing new life into a colour concept. I'll be watching this thread with interest

[Golf Houso]

Wow, amazing job I've got to say. The yellow and black in the interior definitely contrast well.

Always great to have more girls on VWW as well

[Shteifen]

good job man, that cleaned up real well. good job witht the head liner and grab handles and whatnot too.
the colour of the seats weirded me out at first, but they are growing on me and im sure once they are retrimmed or whatever they will be top notch!
nice colour too, as said before you wont loose that one

Awesome work!!!

Looks way better already. I reckon the colour for the colour concept is sexy as.

looking forward to seeing what other things you do to it


great stuff

[Water Boy]

Nice work mate!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Agree with all of the above....sick job mate, brilliant result! I'm keen to see those leather seats refreshed

[MattyT]

Yeah that poor leather looks pretty beat. Refresh for sure! I'd be verrrry interested to see how it comes out too, since mine are heading that way and this is something I'd like to do next year.

[Mk3 Yellow Golf]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments
I will be looking into retrimming the seats one day but for now just wanting to get it on the road
I'll just put some seat covers on for now.
has anyone here done the leather retrims as discussed here

Also I still have to fix some things like
valve cover oil leak
front brakes
aircon doesn't work
cruise control doesn't work
airbag light stays on
I need a new stereo
and the list goes on
but I have some time before I get my licence
