First mk3 - on going project

Featured Replies

This is my first car, got it free from my sister because it broke down a few times, RAC guy said it needed a new distributor, one has now been ordered lol

I cannot legally drive yet but after my america trip in the summer most money will be spent on lessons etc. I've just been going in and out my drive atm.

its going to be a slow project due to trickles of money so dont expect daily updates :p

plans include - lower maybe 80 or 70mm all round, alloys, some new dash speakers, clear the indicators and maybe repeaters and induction kit :p

all mods done so far have needed no money at all!

(p.s, needs a good clean!)

What did you use??

  • Author

strip of blue plastic from one of those plastic wallets, it was like the cover thing.

Ha, clocks lighting looks good actually. Usually hate that jazz. Free or cheap mods for the win. All the little things make the big things happen (well if you are skint like me it does).
