good work one the valver conversrion. wish i had the space, know how to do that. my 8v gti is slloooowww. what engine was int he vento before? bet its a very welcome change of pace!

AEE (1.6).

Tried the smoked front bumper lights, mainly cause it was looking pretty hanging with all the lights missing

not keen tbh, think might switch back to all the oem stuff.

Yeah, think they will look better OEM, unless you go for smoked headlights aswell.

Did the grille and the grille rail to but I think I need to do the headlights to make the final decision tbh. Gonna get a spare set so I can chop and change between them.

Seats in and cleaned. Just need to find some electric window motors and I can put the door cards in. Should be getting a new dash soon if all goes to plan..!

that leather looks in good nick!

love the steering wheel!!!

Those seats look mint for their age.

They looked really black before but after a clean and a leather feeding session they've come up really well. The car I got them out of was hella low mileage. Something like 60k I reckon. Was out of a scrapyard and the clocks had been taken already. But bonnet was stone chip free, was rust free, engine was really really clean. Can't imagine it had much mileage on it.

Now sporting a mk5 Polo wheel

Black dash to go in

Fog light covers

Wheels for when it goes 5 stud

are redrilling the hubs??? :)

5 stud wide track. Still on drums at the back and 239s on the front. So will be G60s up front and discs on the back. Whole new avenue opened up on wheel whoring

yeah defo, i noticed mexican and trix on e38 have gone down the hub redrilll route multifit without adapters

never thought it would have been possible directly onto the hub....there are so many pimp 5x100 oem wheels about too! :)

the audis from an A6?

if you're going down the raddo widetrack route, they're 5x100.

Could use mk3 gti rear axle to get the disks out back and give it the stopping power it needs.

Also what you need are VW Longbeaches or Evolo's Skinny tyres and lows will be a win!

17" Longbeaches on an R32

17" Evolo's on a Fabia

Personally, I'd be trying to track down a set of antera 123's

do it!

I've got the 5 stud wide track and rear axle with discs sat at the unit. Just need my front carriers. I'm sticking with banded steels but 16s. Just need to get some steels!

bora steels!

Those are series one A3 SE alloys

Looking reet good Kam

Main focus at the moment is just getting the brakes sorted as I don't like having small brakes on it and get the interior sorted. Not to fussy on stuff like the paint work at the moment. That will come in due course. Just want it to be a nice place to be. Its reasonably quick now so just need the stopping power to match

Did you find out who vandalised it? and is he going to respray it for free? :-)

Yeah I did and the fat nice person doesn't even have the decency to admit it was him and just apologise. Just denies it. Fucking hate people who be the big man in front of people but when they get caught out they just deny it. If your gonna do something and get caught then at least have the bollocks to man up and admit it. Its like being in play school "it wasn't me, it wasn't me".

Have been playing with the coilies again. Was higher after I smashed the sump repeatedly and go bored of fixing/replacing it. So wound the car back down and it didn't even last long enough to get to work and back so now I have another hole in my sump :/

Need a plate welding on to it fast, give it more to go through / wear through. Plus I need 17s to give me that extra bit of ground clearance. Mmmmm, 5 stud.

wheels will look top notch mate

Well, this kind of happened as an evolution of things. My mate is painting his mums cabby with some metal flake. So were going to paint my bonnet in metal flake just for the craic. Some how it ended up going to be metal flake in the shape of flames. But then we were going to put a red base coat on but put a yellow one on instead. Then decided to put a bit of red on the flames and then ended up putting a bit of white on the front to make it look proper. After that peeled it all back and decided it needed a pin strip so ended up doing that to. Since we were doing flames we ended up doing the Morettes and the grille to. I say we, I just helped with google images on my iPhone while Mick painted

Novel to say the least.
