Before:

After:

as you can see a fair wee bit of work has went on to the wee car

cheers,

Andy

Edited 9 February, 200917 yr by blackthorn

nice i like it :)

ghetto , get those superlites on my friend,

whats going on with the gti?

Ahh, sexy lil' bready

hells yeah man once i pick it up either tha same day ir the day after i will begin work on the bready! play with the arches a wee bit, get the lowering kit on and fire the superlites on... god i cant wait =|

how ever my fiance dosent see it as a very teenage car... lmao i told her where to go!

well, with the gti someone crashed into me and insurence still aint sorted with it yet :( this was the thursday before x-mas but i was planning to take it off the road in feb anyways so i can begin her as a proper project and get everything started with her well I've pretty much already started with smoothing valver bumpers, mk5 tail gate and some other nice little treats :)

how ever, once the insurence comes through to fix her or write her off i will be buying it back off them and with the excess moneys getting the arches flaired and then things sprayed... it was the passenger side that got hit and f'ed the wing, door and a wee bit of the rear pannel, i got a door for a 10er and a wing for 15! so its going to be reasonably cheap to fix :) just cant wait to show off the new colour once shes finally fully sprayed woooop

cheers,

Andy

today update (no pics tho):

got the rear lowering kit on and the superlites on the rear!

made a start on the front! got the caliper and disc off so far... so making an early start on it tomorrow... 9am haha

pics tomoz tho

Andy

finally got it almost finished after 2 days work lol just need to tighten up some bolts and thats it done me thinks...

but yeah I'm going to use paint reno to restore the paint work and it should be gleeming red soon enough

heres the pics u have all been waiting for:

need to figure out what I'm going with the rear arch!

whats every ones thoughts?

cheers,

Andy

get a scaffolding bar and roll your own arches

hmm I've been told to do that but I'm scared incase i fuck it dude =|

how ever my fiance dosent see it as a very teenage car... lmao i told her where to go!

Good man

wheels look so sweet on that car.

really feeling it, nice one

Alex.

yo man love the ride, similar to mine, how much have you dropped it by at the front? and reear? and what kit have you gone for?

Cheers

if you can get the front lower and raise the back a bit....nothing better than a mk2 with a bit of rake ....scaffold pole ftw...make sure you get the arch nice and hot and it should be okay as long as your gental!! Love it though...its transformed!

pimp!

thanks allot guys and gals

the funny thing is i do have a scaffolding pole in my front guardin from the gti's transplant haha :) so may just cut the end off that and give i a bash

get my heat gun off my mate and give it ago!

Matt.G, its a 40 drop at the back and 60 at the front... might drop the front 70 but i do like the stance it has atm just have to see how it settles i guess got a PhilJ kit on it also duder!

all i have to say now is bread vans ftw there so god damn awsome! mine was actully a steal i never relised how good of a steal it was until yesterday when i had a further look at stuff, this is all new:

carb

spark plugs

leads

air filter

fuel filter

got the full car for 150 like i said and the carb alone is about twice that if I'm right? had further inspections on the body work and its pretty good damn good for almost 21 years old :biggrin:

cheers,

Andy

The wheels/springs totally transform it dude :-D Love it

Do it!! Love breadies....your right it does sound like a steal!!!

looks great, amazing how a set of wheels and a drop can transform it

scaffold bar or mallet are your only cheap options really

ok so i got bored today yeah and thought of something to do... typical me tho because i like them so much

end result

NOICEEEEE

and made myself one of these...

cheers for looking,

Andy

Now that's cool :-D What's this scaffolding method all about?

Id like to know if it actually works and does not damage the paintwork, might be temped myself

its hard to explain but al take pics when I'm doing it should be interesting...

glad u like the filler cap tho :)

Andy

Filler cap is tight! have got one myself tis a nice touch!

hell yeah dude see not copying u here but I'm kinda doing the same checkerd stuff as u haha roof and petrol cap! but its red and white instead of black haha

all time and effort tho :) they all look damn good in the end!

Andy

is there a website where u can do these pics??
