Mk3 GTI 16v

[Mk3 AAA]

Yeah saw this on VASK tonight, looking really quality now, those last few shots are really flattering. Can't wait to get to an Auckland meet sometime. Missed that big car meet last year.

I liked your idea with the Mk2 style front, but your car is just pulling off the simplicity of the Vento front with Euro lip soooo well, the best its ever looked.


p.s. is that blue Mk3 Estate in Auckland with South African VR6 15"s (little fat 5 spokes) actually a VR6?

Yep that blue Mk3 Variant is running a 24v VR6 out of a Bora with a rare 6spd FWD box, as well as a Mk4 dash etc
It's a bit of a sleeper with those fat fives at the moment

Ah that's right, I have seen pics now I think about it. VR6 wagon would be very cool. I had those wheels once too.

Some really interesting stuff going on in NZ, crazy kiwi builds (i.e. V8 Polo....mmmm delicious insanity)

NZ has a pretty cranking scene for our size lots of mad projects as you say

Build thread for the Variant is here: PROJECT CAR: Mk3 Golf Variant
