Bessy Gets Some Love

Featured Replies

It looks awesome in this shot i've started to take a real liking to Coupes now but I think white mirrors would suit it so much better than red ones just my opinion though the rest of it looks Lush 8-):thumbsup:

this car looks amazing!! although i do agree with Roly, but either way, this car is great

if i say one thing it has to be keep the red mirrors! It looks awesome as it is but stance needs tweaking i think, great work though!

Ho ho ho that is fucking the shit! :D

I've been giving bessy a little bit more loving.First of i converted her to electronic ignition using an old seat ibiza system porsche dizzy (the old square ibiza before vw days) and a late mk2 polo coil,ignition amp and wiring. To say it made a difference would be an understatement so much smoother and responsive i guess my old points wearnt setup quite right lol

I then decided to do the head gasket as its been weeping oil for a long time i had the gaskets sat there so thought why not

nice derty bay

Looking a lot neater, i reckon you should stick a set of twin 40's on there. Would sound mental if you did

shit the bed thats tidy

One of my fave mk2 coupe's on this site, looking very healthy 8-)

You flashed me on the sunday of the polo show, coming literally down the road out of the gate (Black GT) going towards buckingham, and I've always wondered who's car it was! Looks awesome. Where in Oxfordshire are you?

gorgeous car! Cutters choice ftw!

Awesome car and top work.

The sandblasted parts pictures look odd. Like miniature polo parts, dolls house garage styley 8-)

the subframe is for this one the problems not the frame itself that fitted perfect its the gearbox mount i have probs with.my frame is the one with arb thats why I've refurbed it

love it looks mint!! :thumbsup:

cheers mate

Looking top mate. Shiney manifold always tidies up a mk2/3 bay, stock manifold looks terrible!

Cutters Choice, rough stuff that is, you must be a real man :lol:

mmmmmmmmmmmmm, sexy white cars and red rims... works so well, I'm tempted to take my turbines off and either respray them red or fit them mims in red now I've seen these pics :p

I'm a bit shady on mk2's....but is the front end differant in anyway? it looks like a jetta conversion or something, I'm confused?!!

Would love an exhaust just like that one on my 6n...perfect!!
