what he said!! as much as i love the 928's, i dont think they quite suite the car, but thats just my opinion, and i could be totally wrong!

just looked in this thread for the 1st time and i'm impressed, the motor is really scrubbing up well.

chears Ed, would you be interesed in selling the teladiles? i think they would look sweet if i polished them!

i was just thinking actually the teledials would look sweet on this, maybe even in their current colour! i'll be selling them as soon as i get the other wheels on the vento, not sure how much for yet, will let u know though

chears mate

i havent updated this in a long while....lose of interest...

But now all is good again and im start to show it some Love again.....

have done a lot synce my last post but havent taken many photos.

the first thing was new rear top mounts, the guy that had it before me had fitted them wrong he had put the top ones on the bottom and the bottom ones on the top, also he didnt put the spacer and nut on... so i got 2 spacers and 2 nuts from my old shocks in the shead and got new rear mounts! i also greesed the threds for the winter
my mum took some picks for me




next..

i got some black gti boot capet turots and some black C trims from jimuk16.

before..


After...


then cam a set of 16v rear light to repace the stevey wonder spray job ones the last owener had put in....

Dont have a pick Yet LOL!!

next...
changed my starter, because mine was prity foobared!! there is loads of play in it, so i replaced it with one i had in my shed!

OLD...


Newish replacement...


then like a tit i hit the brakes in the ice and went into a curb
i bent a bottom arm and track rod end so i had to repalce my bottom arm, ball joint, track rod and tye rod end. i manage to get it in a my cuson's workshop for the day out of the snow and cold! i alos bust my 16v splitter and took a chunk out of my wheel, so im now rocking a CL spliter and 2x 6n polo steels!






it didnt snap! i just cut it off to make life easyer!






more to come over the weekend....

This is my boot at the moment ....



if the weather is good at the weekend im going clean it out!

and hopfully Fit thease, my apologies to matty as i was after his gti interior, but desided i wanted recaro's, they are from a rover but have been modified to fit a mk2, i have managed to find the rover rear bench and door cards on ebay, and im going to have a rado rear bench retimed with the materal for the rover bench, and have my door cards trimed by my good old nan that use to be a upholster!

more to come over the weekend

hi liam, i still got the rh cups,7x15 nice deep dish.
just had a set of teardrops mirror polished so could do with the cash

Wheel Update, to replace the KN wheels i got a set off bbs rz from Guy, there have seen better days but i got hem for a Fair price so im happy! hears a few picks of what i have been up to!

first up i started to rub the down, but it was a pain with the tyers on so i had them taken off, next to get rid off the crub rash i used a dirty great file








after a bit of fileing and rubbing down!




then once it was perfect i primed it, painted and lacquered them, i desised to go for a grafite like colour as i didnt like the black wheels i had on it before, and desised that silver was boring! so i went for a nice Ford colour!








just need to get the tyers now! im going for 185 50 14s as apsoe to the 185 60s that were on the when i got them

nice work

looks good!

That handy to know lee, atleast they will be a set again! i will have to drop him a pm when i have some money.

new wheels are looking good

Awesome job on them rz's, top work!

Chears guys, cant wait to get them on! hopefuly before the meet!

Wow Liam they dont look like the same wheels that were festering on the mk2

great work on those wheels mate.

plus you must of hit that curb pretty hard to bend your bottom arm that much lol

If you look at the condition of the arm it probably wouldnt have taken that much, it looks like the wheels took a lot of it.

jeeez just see this mate! new wheels look nice and freeeeeeeeeesh
