VDUBIN (VR6) aka Chop N Change

[vdubin]

Hey all..
I thought It was time to share what Ive done To my VR6 so far...
I have a build thread On vwgolf.net But I see theres soo many more vr6 owners here .

First couple days of owning it stock.

first issue was the roof lining, To this day I still havent done anything to it ! besides rip it out.Its in the too hard basket,I have a aftermarket sunroof and the original lining is ****ed.

Then I went with this for a while.

Now to this.At this stage, colour will prob change before they go back in.


Went a bit nutts with checkers




Got coils.

Then came the roof rack bike holder.

plus wind faring.


Stereo was next,Im a HUGE music fan & I love my bass

[vdubin]

Ive been a fan of hoodrides for ever & rusting the bonnet was on top of my list.


Plus my rusty original dragster bike

[vdubin]

All checkers were painted matte black,Back wing also

[vdubin]

The price u pay for a low car.



4mm steel should help for a while till I get around to making a full bash plate.

[vdubin]

This is how the beasts sits right now.



So Ive gone over the car in 400,Im so happy with the car its very straight for its age
(1996) only a few Very Miner dents, Im Still to sand the roof.
All doors are coming off during the week.
And undercoat sprayed on this week.


To DO list
Just brought a smaller antenna.
Deleting the back wiper.
Deleting side indicators.
Im really considering shaving all the doors Ive done a lil research and Im 50-50 atm.

Nice progress mate, whats planned in the way of paint?
IMO don't shave the handles, it doesn't work well on 4 doors (if any).
I'd just shave the rear wiper and badge, and the side indicators if your not scared of getting pulled over for not having them...
Got any new wheels in mind? Pulling the arches before new paint goes on might be a good plan, nothing worse than risking ruining fresh paint later down the track!

Look forward to seeing more progress

Two tone would be sweet. To each their own I guess

Good work!

Just my 2cents, but i yhonk it would look much better with the base things the mirrors are connected to (if you know what i mean) and the skirts were black. Not keen on the white in the bumper either, or the blue dummy panels.. and msybe black slats snd badge in the grille to break it up or something.

Still, looks hood @ome wide whrels would make it even more amsxing
