Ben vs Mk3. Round 2.

[Ben J]

Oh hey.

Everyone who followed my old thread will know about the sad death of my vr6. Ohwell life goes on, so I wont fill this thread with sad things about it.

RIP


Anywayy... just picked up a new toy and figured I'd start a new thread. Sad thing is I also lost my job days after writing the old car off, so until I find more decent work, not much is going to be happening to this 4wd height grandma golf. But should I find my self in a real job again soon, expect some big things

Anyway here he/she (havent decided yet) is. A cute little white 1995 2 door CL with a beastly single point injected 1.8L motor that when brand new, made less then half the power my modified vr6 would have been



I didn't even know the original cassette players still existed


Things I've done already with things I had lying around.. put my NA lip I grabbed off my old car nefore the tow truck arrrived on, and also swapped over a nice shiny vw badge with the back part painted black. Looks better I think, and very subtle.


Also in true ricey pplater style I put a cheap pod filter on it. Sounds a bit better and feels a tad nicer to drive. Still sounds like a drowning cat compared to the intake noise of the vr6 though.



Needs an altitude adjustment. And registration. Guess the latter is the more important

Good to see your back in a mk3 and I hope this one works out better for you

Looks damn clean, I'm loving the wheels also.

Are you still planning on swapping in vr6 gear?

[Ben J]

Don't want to reveal all my plans just yet in case they just dont happen, but I'd be lieing if I said I wasn't planning on putting a vr in there

The wheels are just the stock 14 steelies haha. Although, I do have a set of real shoes in the making...

potential plus, coils and wheels and it'll be looking the goods!

2 door is win!

[VR28LT]

nice man, looks like in lovely condition..... good base to start with makes things easier

[dark]

start with the cheap mods since you have no job, joey mod those headlights! P.S I feel you dude I am also jobless at the moment!

[Ben J]

Thanks guys, it is in good condition and definitely has some potential For what I paid for it I'm very happy, although I'm not exactly sure about its past, only just found out from going through service records its done a lot more km's then advertised, and the cluster has probably been swapped over or something like that at some stage. Some parts look like they may have been resprayed possibly too. Ohwell, its not on REVS and everything seems fine. I could just be going crazy too.

Cheap mods are definitely first Although I'm not sure what to do, as I'm really hoping to get my old wreck back, in which case I would be able to pull a lot of things I've already modified off and swap them over.

I also have a set of wheels that are 60% refurbished I need to keep working on, and some other little things that are a work in progress

Good work mate, can't wait to see what you have in store for it.
