Some might remember my Valver

Well thats now sold, and this is its replacement.

Well here is my type 19 mk2. its a 1.6 Spazmatic, with manual choke etc. but this is only due to it being easier for the VR6 conversion that i will be doing in the near future.

I dont feel like blabing on about loads of different bits n pieces like in previous Build threads so i will just let the pics do the talking :)

Thats it atm, will stay in winter mode for a while, till i buy another set of summer rims for it, not sure what to go for yet though. The Desmo if for our Snowboards for this season, its my favourite buy so far, as its 30 years old but in brand new condition :)

I am planning on doing alot more to the car, like sort out all the parts of the body work, eventually have a smoothed bay with the VR6, certain mods to the interior and alot more but try and keep it fairly retro :)

More Updates to come :)

Ladies and gentleman, we have here a true wheel whore :p

Wheel whore much? haha

Looks so sick dude!! Although I'm not a fan of the rack

I'm upset its not a mk2 polo, and it has more doors.

simple but effective mind.

you are deffo a whore of the wheel based variety

BLIMEE You have alota wheels my friend

Looks wicked, should be even better when the vr6 goes in

Where the hell are you getting these wheels from?!

God knows.. but these need to make a re-appearance

the wheels are not his, the guy who used to own the car took most of those pics

Very nice! Shines up well.

whooorrrrreeeeee!!!

(heres some an old update that i forgot about aswell)

EastsideVW Uber Meet 2011 by Chris Petrie, on Flickr

heres just some general pics i had on my rubbish quality iphone, with different bits and pieces the car needed etc.

Just some pics.

brakes needed doing badly because it sat a bit and the pad snapped as it was stuck to the disc.

so new discs and pads and tidying all the back up with new bearings and a lick of hamer paint for the time being.

also got a new radiator and a few other coolant parts as i had a crack in it.

Also gave it a well deserved service and new headlight switch etc, gotta love genuine parts :)

Gave the rack a quick polish and had to change my battery so had a quite look at the battery tray, and was happy enough with what i found :)

then fitted my harmon/kardon ipod kit, so fitted it and wasnt happy, the headunit looks too new and the screen just looked stupid so stripped it all down and used my imagination and mounted it elsewhere

and last just a little bit of bling for the box

So after the car crapping itself and yet another thing breaking for no reason, i decided to bite the bullet and search for a VR donor car, a nice obd2 VR with 1 owner and just under 90k came up so i just had to get it, especially seen as it has a huge chunk of history to prove millage etc, so after picking that up the other day i started having a much around, The car drove superb (engine and box wise) but had wrecked strut top mounts and a broken spring and goosed wheelbearing so enough to get me home. Pulls like a train and seem perfect for the mk2, plus it was a bonus that i got one the same colour as martins VR which is now my brothers so hes been helping himself to a few parts i dont need aswell :)

anyway not much pictures other than these three. Am on the look out for a Rado VR pedal box and front cross member if anyone knows of any going.

heres the pics.

mmmmmmm.... vr mk2
