    My Burgundy Mk3

    Hey guys,
    This is my mk3. its a 1995 2lt 5spd manual and 130% stock.







    Have done a few things since buying the car, one of those buying a vr6 as a parts car



    Mods so far
    VR6 smoked tailights
    JVC Bluetooth headunit
    VR6 leather seats front and rear. So much more comfortable and supportive than the saggy stock rubbish
    Replace front reflector things with unmolested ones off the vr

    Next Up (in order but most likely wont happen)
    Get more money
    Fix gearshift linkages / Bushes
    replace rooted trailing control arm bushes
    lube / new starter motor
    mk4 gearknob / boot
    Lows
    Exhaust
    wheels
    5 stud conversion if i can workout all the ins and outs.

    Cheers, Mike

    Would keep it 4x100. Wheels are hard to come buy in 5x100

    Nahh. I'm liking the nice fuel economy. My other car is a 4.2l patrol so this thing is like a fuel saving god to me. The 2ltr isn't too bad. Plus's the VR has a pretty bad knock.

    Bit of an update.
    inb4 Defect
    Got a new exhaust fitted this morning. But, its way to bloody loud. Will have to go back and get them to make it a little less loud.
    hopefully i can brave a few drives to work and back till i can get it sorted. I mean, who knew straight pipe from the cat back would be loud eh?

    In other news, i wired up a bunch of speakers i got from in the parts car, so that's good i guess.
