Slowly turning into scene ponces

I draw that line at tailoring it!

trailor queens for the lose! i've always hated them too!

Yo. Shame you gotta sell before the finish line but needs be.

I reckon you should get the whole car primered and an Mot on it, then selling should be easier.

Btw i was the lad in the white Mk2 Polo Coupe that flashed you leaving UD.

dont sell it !!!!! wicked car i want to c it finished!!

dont selll it!! get it done and use that as yoru dailey.. then start saving for the bora"

haha thanks chaps, need the space and money really, got to get the bora on the drive and start stripping it down.

haha Kerrly, i though who was that? are they going to flash every vw? sorry i didn'e clock you bud.

Olly

did a couple of bits after work this week while it's waiting for a new owner

finished off the drivers handle, prepped the rear bumper and managed to get the drivers side pretty much all primed and ready

haha - i do like the grey though, i may even MOT in the next week or 2 so it's easier to sell.

Olly

Holy crap olly I love it do it all grey with a red roof, so it ties in the red on the inside then just clear coat it :) :) top work cheif

It's a shame it's going to have to go, but that's what you get when you spend £2000 on wheels.

thanks bud, haven't done alot lately - been doing engine swaps on other cars.

well it's due for MOT on wednesday, got a new tyre coming tomorrow so thought i'd tidy up the front bumper a bit.

started the process of smoothing the bumper so roughed up the grooved area

then set about sorting out the centre cut out to fill it in, after a bit of thoght i thought it best to make an ally brace dso i could shape the bumper to the correct curve heating and moulding the bumper as i went.

spliced the flat part to bring it up then with the heat gun shaped the lip over the top of the brace then pop riveted it into place.

than trial fitted it to see if it needed tweeking, it seemed fine so roughed it up and flattened it out a bit then offered it up on the car again

it seemed close to where i want it so started plastic welding the cut outs in

thats it for now, might do a bit more tomorrow.

Olly

well got a spanking new 195/45/14 falken fitted up today

fitted the pressed rear plate and replaced one of the number plate light bulbs

and primed the grill

also finished the plastic weld on the bumper and started to fill it but leaving it going off overnight and see if i have time to flat it tomorrow...

Olly

You still getting rid of this?

haha yea mate, promised my mate he could have it today if it passes MOT, he's paying monthly too - since i said he can have it i've had loads of interest, always the way though just need it off the drive to be honest so i can strip the bora.

will be sorry to see it go really, i think it'd make a good little car with some paint.

Olly

Paying monthly.

Yeah it would make a nice little runabout for sure, if I was looking for a car I'd want something just like this.

i know i felt sorry for him though, someone torched his golf gti mk3 2 weeks after he bought it so is a bit strapped for cash at the mo.

oh and the wheels i want have gone up to 2.7k

Olly

That sucks, you're a good man.

Ouch, what wheels are they?

shhhhhhhmidt TH 18" 3 piece splits is what i'm aiming for but that is a foook load of cash for four circles!

shhhhmidt TH 18" 3 piece splits

hmmm nice

Best invention since... the wheel?

wow this is going to turn into one amazing little car, have you got a link to your bora sounds very interesting

bora build here - http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/272991.aspx

well i flatted as much as the filler in the bumper as i could but had to chuck it back together for the MOT, and it passed just sneaking through on the emissions (good job it got a thrashing on the way to burn it all off)

took some quick pics when i got back

just waiting to hear back from my mate to see if he still wants it now.

Olly

Bet you got some looks going to the MOTers.

wots going on with this thread? lol

why whats up with it bud?
