Nothing much to update really, just been stocking up with bits and bobs, feel like a Eastern European working away to send money home, only I'm sending car parts to my parents lol. Here's today's latest additions to my stash

While since I've updated this so here goes... Got some new rims for her, rs035 and rs037

Also been buying a few odd bits which where waiting for me when I got down to my parents this weekend, was like a kid at Christmas!

Haven't seen my parents for a while so didn't want to be too anti social but did manage to fit the rims...

...got to love a bit of poke!
And brake fluid resevior cap, certainly beats the old knackered one and instantly made the bay look a bit fresher, not bad for 5 seconds labour!! Cheers calico for the cap!

And this is it's new home for the mean while, plan at the minute is to leave it there, stock up with the bits it needs and give it a proper overhaul over the winter, but we'll see how long that lasts as I'll probably miss it to much and go and fetch it back at some point

So... thought I would start a thread about my mk2 that I bought around April this year (2014)... I bought it from a guy in Newcastle (not far from me) for a very respectable price.. basically I bought the car after selling my mondeo st220 wanting to get into the vag scene... always wanted to get a raddo vr6 since I was a kid and first set eyes on one but when this came up I couldn't resist...
The car has been around the mill of owners (all seem to be club members from different forums). its seems to have done the rounds but came out still in good shape.. I took it on with no MOT, no TAX but with 2 wallets of service history.. 1 for the car itself and 1 for the engine with a genuine checked 75k FSH from vw dealerships.. lump came from a 97 mk3 highline which was dragon green I believe.
The pics below of how the car was when I bought it, stripped down a lot and most of the parts were in boxes in the back of the car.
I got it home on the back of a trailer and placed it strategically on my grass outside knowing it wouldn't take me long before I attacked it and got started rooting through boxes and building it back up to see what I had and what I didn't...

From here I got the interior in and arches/bumpers/lights and original grill back on. And got it to this...
I stumbled upon a few extra parts that I didn't seem to need (must have been bought as spares)..
Next came it's MOT to see what it was really like and what type of depth I was getting myself Into.. fearing the worst I booked it up for the next week and drove it there...
On the way, disaster.. It overheated.. steam from the bonnet, temp through the roof (I stopped as soon as it was safe) switched off and let it cool down.. eventually got it to the MOT test station and it began...
Guess what...It only went and flew through the MOT, only advisory was 1 n/s/rear tyre was on the minimum tread depth.. The guy also worked out that it was my thermostat that had jammed up and caused the engine to overheat and not let the fan kick in...
With a new thermostat and alternator fitted after its test I took it staright to the post office for a shiney new tax disc ...
Then the fun began...

When I got home after weeks of searching through eBay I got to order a few hundred quids worth of new bits and pieces to make it a little better and feel like my own..
After giving it a good clean inside and out I started to notice all the chips/scratches and little bits and bobs that would eventually need sorting out.. but never the less I gave it a machine polish and got out what I could and touched up what was needed to use it as my daily until I got time to get it all repaired and repainted..

Up and running

I had mine fitted on a mk3 golf pointing the front of the car just behind the headlight so didn't fit a cold air feed maybe advisable on a Raddo though. You don't get a drone just amplified standard noise when flooring it hardly notice any difference when driving normally im 44 now. Very difficult to duct anything from a sprinter vent. I would just run cold air feed to front or inside inner wing merc vents will not force feed air so not really worth doing in my opinion. I think you will need to get the sprinter wing and have it cut out and welded in to your wing if you really want it fitted. You don't see much louvering done nowadays maybe 15 years ago. lol     Showing my age Tiger stripes anyone.!!!

Just placed my order to migfab to have a SRI made up with the throttle body on the opposite side so the intercooler pipework is right ready for the sidewinder manifold I'll be having made.

Got my respray to do on Saturday so the preparations have started and they will be finished off and all in primer by tommorow... bit more of a smooth look but keeping mostly with the oem look...
jimmys oakvr

Got one side in primer now moving along to the fire wall and other side. Here are a few pictures of the progress



Also bought some drop in 8:1 wossner pistons and genuine rod bearings

I wouldn't mind knowing the same. I would of thought the copper grease would get caked in shit off the roads

Sounds good bennyk. We'll have to look into that, perhaps try the one where you rolled before and tag the VXROC onto our session this time! Would be good to see the difference our latest mods make. I reckon my hella quads will give me another 5hp possibly 6 if I take your pukka headlight mask Ben.
