I wouldn't mind being on the outdoor stand if we have one? I'll be at the show regardless but would be nice to give the highline a debut show to aim for

Good to see someone doing a proper job, these so called "show cars" are always the same, all fur coat and no knickers! Looking forward to seeing the outcome of this

Well a few more bits done to the old girl, fitted a spare chipped ECU I had lying around from my old VR not sure if its really made a difference as this engine isn't really modified compared to my last one so might take it off for a while. Gave the throttle body a good clean out as I could tell it wasn't just coming off throttle as well as it should, then I also found this Pretty common problem on VR's and glad I found it before it got any worse. Luckily I had a good condition spare sat in my tool box so that was an easy fix ;D Todays little mod was a set of damned near mint hella q

Cheers I am really happy with it so far. Really want to spend a day on it giving it a good detail ready for winter but thats not gonna happen any time soon.

Cheers guys, I'm running 195/40R17 Hankook S1 evo's. The same size and make I was running on my Raceline RL7's on my last VR so knew they were good tyres and offer excellent grip in the dry and wet. Fitted some standard headlights last night and my hella quads have arrived today so will get them on tomorrow along with standard fogs/indicators and see how it looks with standard VR rear lights too. Soooo many plans and never have time to do them. Really hoping to get on the club stand for ultimate dubs too and if I do I'll treat the old girl to a full respray

So the new wheels are on! A8 monoblocks in 17x8 ET48 with 30mm adaptors on the front and 35mm on the rear! Need to sort the ride height out a bit better and tweak the front camber in a bit but on the whole I'm very happy with them.

Cheers guys its getting there, new wheels are here tomorrow along with tyres and adaptors so it should look a lot better by the end of the week as those awful headlights will be going, standard fogs and indicators will be here too. I've also been tempted to get hold of a standard boot lid and pair of bumpers for it too! I'll get some pics up during the week of last weeks jobs and progress too

Cheers guys, yeah I was lucky with that one! Got so many things to do but going away in a few weeks so need to watch the pennies!

I've finally managed to get myself another VR6 sorted I've bought a mulberry highline VR6 as it ticked all the boxes I wanted. Ideally I wanted a 3 door but decent 3dr's are either silly money, thrashed, knackered or rotten. The car is in very good condition but I want to take it up a notch ready for show season starting again in March. So the list of planned mods are: Set of wheels, not sure what to go for yet but something shiny and with a bit of dish. Recaro front seats in black leather Full respray Supercharger!! So this mornings task was to give the car a good look over, lift

I'm picking this up tomorrow and would love to be on the list for the stand. I'll be there all weekend for definite too It'll be on different headlights and wheels by March though and hopefully supercharged

Looking forward to this, gonna give the car a good clean shortly. I'll also have my laptop with VW dealer diag software on it. Looking forward to meeting everyone, just wish my car was a bit tidier :-/

I'm going away at the end of next week for a couple of weeks so if you PM me for any reason and I dont reply dont worry I'm definitely coming, wouldn't miss it for the world. You've got my address so just send it when your ready

The picture does make it look a bit better than it is as you cant see all the touched in stone chips on it haha! But on the whole I'm pleased with the results

Thats fine Pete was just making sure it had got to you looking forward to the show. Spent a few hours on the bodywork tonight trying to get it looking a bit better ready for Tatton in a few weeks. Gave the car a wash at work, then clayed the whole car, next was a coat of Poor Boys black hole and then finally a coat of Dodo Juice purple haze wax. Safe to say my arm is knackered but the car looks worlds better for it! Just a couple of reflection shots which do flatter it slightly but it does shine really well for a 17yr old car!

Yeah its going well, just the bodywork to sort out but thats in a few months time. Did you get my PM Pete about the Tatton show pass?
