Ok, so everyone who's a regular has seen my thread "my murdered vr6" - it featured my matte black vr6 that was poorly painted by the previous owner and a basket case before I started sorting it out. I came close to selling it a couple of times and considered setting it on fire a couple of times as well! 
here's when it looked the best as a murdered mk3 for those who cant remember!
But now its (touch wood) purring like a kitten and alot of fun to drive. I have started to rub the black off it and now its kind of black and blue and looks tough still and reminds me of a bruise - hence - "the bruiser" my pet name for it!
So i decided to start a new thread to keep me motivated in its second lease on life! I am now thinking of going for an oem plus sorta look (i think). But here's what I have done to date:
fk streetline coilovers
replaced fuel pump
replaced water pump
replaced belt and tensioner
new leads and spark plugs
replaced thermostat
replaced coolant tank
joey modded headlights
tinted hella indicators and fogs
tinted side markers
bee sting aerial
debadged rear
badgeless grille (thanks ben)
replaced bonnet and rear passenger side door (again thanks ben)
just got some mint votex racks
some pics of my new votex racks ( I am a freak for roof racks and these are the holy grail of racks for a mk3 I reckon!)
I also have 2 sets of wheels to play with:
an amazing set of audi 17's that I will show soon enough, and a set of rays splits that I am getting bigger lips for (also 17's)
Stuff to come:
more panels replaced (hopefully)
adapters so I can run these audi wheels
roll all guards
Euro Lip
Searching for a new steering wheel
Searching for a leather interior (frigging james in the uk flaked on selling me his euro edition recaros)
Searching for a cheap or preferably rear hit vento to pilfer parts off to do a front swap eventually
replace all coolant hoses
wish I could get aircon fixed also (gold coast is hot!)
dream mods:
bags of course
frame notch
supercharger!!
full respray
more wheels, some fifteen 52s ideally!
