VRmonster 1 Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 My project seemed to be boring me so i keep coming up with new challenges. heres my newest one. collected it from leeds today for the mere sum of 3200 notes. a bargain for a mint 1995 2.0l avantgard. with full electrics, full service history, immaculate interior and paint (except 1 small rip in the seat bolster and 1 rust spot by the rear light.) 120k on the clock but still running very strong as the 135mph showed on the trip home (along my private road that is)she soes look a little 4x4ish at the moment but will soon be addressed with some help from my mates FK automotive. just cant wait to get the vr in there as i cant deal with the sound of the 2.0l engine. its too quiet, lol. anyway, the pics are slightly dark as it was 8pm when i got back so had to photoshop the brightness a little. here ya go. sorry about the size and number of pics, couldnt decide which to use. lol. as you can imagine, im over the moon now. wheres that sun gone to?[ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites

dubloke 4 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 very sweet, always had a soft spot for golf ragtops despite the somewhat hairdresser style image. and always fancied transplanting a bigger lump into one, more likely i would go for a 20v turbo one these days, tho u still cant beat the sound of the v6 in one! going to be a cool ride for the summer dude!

antera309 3 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Strictly Dubs have a complete Mk4 Cabrio front end for sale here if you're interested:** LINK **This will bolt straight onto a mk3 cabrio. Add a shortened R32 front bumper and your car could look like this:!amazed[ Edited Wed May 11 2005, 12:18PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
