  • Dan's VW History

    Felt like it was about time I should start documenting some of my history with VW's, though its not particularly long or interesting.

    Was looking for my first car and after driving 10+ couldn't go past this 2L Bora.


    Reflex silver and in good nick, she was my baby.

    Too bad someone had other plans


    I was rear-ended and pushed into a truck on a rainy Thursday.

    Took a little while but patience paid off and I ended up with a much nicer V5 Bora.


    Drove it stock for a long while, then;
    Low

    ish


    Few small mods; interior bits and pieces, exhaust, some painting, headlight reconditioning and I just rolled my guards last week, so more lows soon.

    This is how she looked today after a good clean.








    To be continued
    Dan!

            Lovely Bora Dan. I can't contain my massive soft spot for them.

              So several hundred dollars later the V5 is running super smoothly. Time to enjoy her for a while.

              Unfortunately the Audi wheel I bought for it didn't quite fit, but eh, you win some you lose some.

                    Wheels look great.
                    All looks great actually!
                    Still got the Remus on there? Sounded lovely when you got it installed.

                      Thanks guys, Remus is still on there have been considering removing the resonator just worried it might be a bit too loud if I do. Got any more parts for me??

                      In other news; Volkswagen quoted me 4 days delivery and it ended up taking about 20 hours.








                      The fitment isn't perfect as the drivers side clips are broken on my bumper. Will have to fix it another day as I finished Uni (forever) today and its time to relax
