MK2 VR6 - Orange and Blue 76 baby

Thought it was time i started having a nice car instead of a rat...So i found this little bright mettalic blue jem. Very happy with it just need to get a new door and passenger side wing, get them sprayed and it will be minty mint mint.

Long term plans are to keep it fairly standard, coilies instead of the 60mm springs and shocks and some RMs... So im going for the OEM+ style really. Anyway here it is :










First mod was the german plates and holders that came this morning

Edit : Oh yeah and the single light grill i put on as im not a fan of quads really.

What happened to the MK1 dude. Tiz just rat it. It will be so much easier to take care of. No washing or polishing just painting on top of dirt which you seem to have mastered

How long before this is rollered beige then :pale:

Awesome! I'd leave those rims, but with spacers and painted motorsport white!

yay a shiney one at last! looks much better with the german plates, il take back what i said about the red trim grill aswel lol

got my new phone today so thought i would test out the cam, like lee said i really need to actually go somewhere to take pics instead of usin my lawn with loads of scrap cars around lol.










Then today some friggen idiot overtook infront of my pulled straight out and nearly ran me off the road which was bad enough.. THEN something fell off his car and did this :

Hehe, now it's a rat...

dont tell him that

joe how many times did i ask you if i could go rat LOL... Hmm rusty wing... yes...

is that including the hour of polishing at volksfest yesterday? if so i lost count!

say no to rust

i actually enjoyed the polishing.... something wrong with me... plus i should buy my own polish lol

ye get your own polish would make things easyer when im not there

thats my fav colour for a mk2. is it quite rare? dont see many of them

Head gasket went last night so i wasnt a happy bunny, when i stopped sulking and realised it was a gift from god i got on with the job. Had the head off within an hour and inspected it, can still see honing marks in the block so i reckon its been rebuilt and the carbon buildup is very very little. Found out the head has had a light porting job on the intake side and has a GS2H kent cam which made me pretty happy. Head is now going to have some very heavy port and polishing done intake and exhaust side, gonna polish up the head so it looks like new, decoke, polish the valves up etc so gonna have some very heavy headwork, i figure while its mostly in bits im gonna get my flywheel lightened, maybe a new clutch, paint my block, gearbox and do some work in the bay. Gonna get it all done and sorted for the bury meet hopefully so watch this space for progress pics.

Edit: Oh and of course fit my lovely new stainless 4 branch(cheers lewis)
