Robbodred's Montana green coupe

Featured Replies

Bought this mk3 coupe project today. Montana green 1.0l boulevard with 130k miles. long mot and tax pretty straight, no major rust anyway, few tiny bits of surface rust but solid as really. Drove the beast 10 miles home and it ran sweet.

List of things I want to do;

- New bonnet.

- General tidy up/ clean and rust protect the surface rust.

- Put those gunmetal p-slots on in the background of the pic.

- Respray in the same colour green.

- 80mm drop. maybe 60mm? not sure what height to run on the p's?

- GT engine conversion.

- GT/G40 interior.

- Some sort of music box. not even a tape player in at the moment.

Tried the pslots on at dinner time at work today, i think they look good but I'm gonna sell them to my mate while I'm working on it and buy some other wheels once I've finished it.

I'm thinking get the stance right first and the pick some wheels to suit it.

Thats fine, its only because 1 or 2 of mine are quite scuffed too! Idk how much there worth, say like a fiver plus p&p? or is that too low?

14" wheels look so much better on a mk3 than wide 13". Trust!! :-)

Sick base man. Met green for the win.
