Bought this tank the other day to replace my GT Coupe.

165k Miles, its diesel and very Green! Not much else to say about it. It runs and drives and has MOT so can't say anything bad about it!

Not planning to do much with it. Maintain and run it mainly. Its already lowered, no idea how much or whether its springs, springs/shocks or coilys. I just know the ride is hard as f*ck and I've been sump bashing already 

 

Looks sweet mate, look forward to seeing it soon

I've never liked it. I really hate coupes I think they're ugly. Plus I'm 6'3 n a fat bastard so I fit better in a golf :p

So actually did some things to it! Only because it was in dire shit XD 

First was a set of the budgetest budget coilovers i could find as all the springs had been chopped and jumped out the seats.

 

It did add some nice lows though! Just high enough to be used daily.

 

Then onto why the b@stard thing wouldnt stop in a hurry.. Problem found and solved with new brakes.

 

Fun game of pallet Jenga last night.

 

And CB swapped over from my Polo for the Social this weekend as the Polo heap of big fluffy swear words was filled 2cm deep with water because the roof is leaking D: 

But still no actual radio as in its history some smarty has chopped the iso plugs off to fit stuff :@ And i cba to sort it yet.

 

Those have to be some of the worst worn discs I've seen !! no wonder it wouldn't slow down !!

Id rock that as my daily and it looks clean Xumado, nice to see a mk3 with out rusty arches and sills and ive never seen brakes like that before .

The pictures hide it well  one arch is rusty and I daren't touch the sills with a marshmellow with fear on it going through :( New sills are only 30 quid so thats the next job in January for MOT. 

But the brakes gave me a shock when i took them off!

your photo skills are good to hide the rust and panels are cheap as you said. looking forward to see what you do with it. is it dragon green too? love mk3 vr's in that color

Potato cam int  Yea dragon green :) Lovely colour, its just a great daily diseasal 

13,400 miles later.... Drivers sill collasped, turbo leaked 1L of oil every 300 miles and causing a James Bond smoke screen when I toed it, rad split, gearbox cracked and leaking, engine sump leaking and head gasket gone, leaking internally and externally the lil B@stard still done the 75 mile daily commute XD It has now been scrapped due to no hope in passing test next month. Only scrapped early due to its dislike of a pothole, obliterating the n/s/f wheel, wishbone and coilly D: Ahh well £300 well spent I'd say. Didn't owe me a penny!
