Car is finally shaping up to what I wanted when I first bought it, Fixed the bonnet and bonnet latch so no longer hangs out the front.
I'll grab a proper photo tomorrow.
Almost went on a late night mountain run with a couple friends but deemed it unwise whilst still on the 5" wide stockies, this means I should probably hurry up my search for a set of 4x100s. Might end up just buying a set of d hole 15x8's steelies for now.Mk3 2.0. Mk3 VR6 CC. Future Mk2?

Yep! i love my diesel!Originally posted by feenix74 View PostThat is why I am running a TDI, I do not worry about petrol prices at all nowadays
I would love to have a VR6 but the running costs (ie the fuel economy plus premium unleaded) would mean it would have to be a weekend car for fun drives only.
The only way to offset the thirst of a VR6 if you really need to do kms
Going to ghetto paint the buggered wheels on the VR6 this weekend if the weather holds up too

Renovating and have no power in the garage. Purchased with the intention to swap the running gear into the wife's cabby.Originally posted by dylan8 View Post
Now have heaps of spares, including a rebuilt auto box for the mother in laws vr6.
Don't worry but the cabby will run a manual box. Just need flywheel and clutch.

Hey speed i have a curious question to ask about your wife's cabby!
Have you had a chance to pull apart the electricals to the car such as tail lights, cluster .etc. and if so, how many plugs does each component of the wiring harness have?
Just asking out of curiosity haha!

I'm curious to know if each of those components only runs off one electrical plug haha

Thanks feenix. Maybe not so soon though! Has put my hoist purchase back a couple of months.Originally posted by feenix74 View PostIt will soon be a 2 door, cabriolet, VR6
Planning for October 2017.
In the meantime I will rebuild my mx5. Should run 12s. Intend to track it with the mx5 club.
Then repaint my S3 Rx7 and put in on club plates. Would easily do 12s.
Will also continue renovating my house.
Massive project that will take maybe 2 to 5 years, depending how much I distract myself with cars.
I could easily fall in love with the 2 door but time is precious, so may be sold as a shell.Mk IV Golf GTI - BMP - GIAC chip, R32 wheels, KW coilovers, rear swaybar.

MK3 Random Thread
If anyone is looking for parts in NSW (manly area) for a burgundy 4 door cl/gl (not 100% sure) I know a guy who is trying to wreck his car. Interior is absolutely mint, most body panels look fairly decent and I've been told it is mechanically tip top. Son just changed to a mk4 and so decided to forego rego on the mk3.
If you want his number, pm me, he's a pretty nice guy if you wanna give him a buzz.2010 Jetta 125TDi DSG
