This is my vrt had it about 6 weeks so far the only thing I've is have a new exhaust fitted because it was way too loud.
Brief spec is: Woosner forged pistons
Shot peened rods
Pelequin diff
Gt35r turbo
450cc injectors
H&R coilovers
G60 brakes
Bbs replica wheels
It's running united motorsport software with an apexi avcr boost controller set at a max of 1.4 bar and 1.25 for daily driving.
After winter main plan is some new wheels to be able to fit bigger brakes
Here's a couple of my mk1 too it's just a bog standard 1.1 with 16" rs' and coilovers

Oh and these came up on the bay so I snapped em up!

Like I say it only took that length of time because of the shifts we work and the weather and having to spend time with our families lol. I've went on to put full black colour concept leather in it, a full custom magnaflow stainless exhaust and an induction kit and coilovers on. The future plans are upgrade my brakes get another bare engine strip it and rebuild it ready for a turbo and turn the car to a VRT ;D

Then I built it back up and flattened it back and my mate machine polished it then to nice and shiney

I'll double check that mate. I'll only be using it till the spring then I'll sell it on and hopefully make a few quid on it and put it into my turbo fund but shhh don't tell my wife lol

That's the problem finding the time as I spend all my time fixing other people's cars.

I'm sure you will mate looking forward to the line up, and loving the amount of interest the event has had this time around

Looks really good hopefully I can get mine to look as tidy as yours.

Oh yes mate
We are go go go

We'll I think its about time I started a build thread since I've been on here a couple of years now and my mk3 has been on the road for about 6 months lol.
Here goes. I bought the car as a project back in Christmas 2011 with the title on gumtree being Golf VR6 in need of tlc. I rang The Guy asked him a few questions and to be fair he was fairly honest and him knocking £100 off it as I was coming from Newcastle to Dewsbury sweetened the deal a little so I thought it'd be rude not to have a look. When we got there everything as the lad described was fairly accurate, a nice big dent in the drivers door which he had a spare to go with the car, a little crease on the drivers side rear arch, clutch starting to slip and a misfire. I had a good look round it and it seemed solid enough so I took it out for a test drive came back and started the haggling lol (I like a bit barter lol) and to cut a long story short i got the lad down from his initial £800 price in the advert down to £700 before I left to have a look then from there I took my first mk3 VR6 away for a tidy £420 lol bargain of the century for me as I knew how little the Work really needed to have it running and lookin spot on again.
I got it Home and started with the misfire, one set of dubpower ht leads off a Guy on here for £25 and that problem was sorted as the old leads were arching out against the head. Next was the body work that me and a mate sorted out over the period of a year or so lol. It would of been quicker but I kept changing my mind about things lol so it went from painting the replacement drivers and having a bit of arch welded in to having the lights taken out of the front bumper, filled and smoothed aswell as the swadge line smoothed obviously the back bumper was smoothed too then the tailgate badge and wiper mount cut out plated and smoothed then totally frenched to boot then two new front wings then removing the plastic side skirts to eventually a full respray lol. I think at this point my mate hated me lol but it turned out lovely in the end and got my mate back into painting as he's time served but left the body repair industry a few years back to become a fat trucker like me lol. Any way that's all for now and I'll get my build picks up asap

Sure do but sometimes I might go a litte wider just to amuse myself lol. Only if I'm having a bad day lol

I'm getting jealous reading your write up. Need to start collecting bits and bobs to start mission boost on mine

I really want a 2 car garage with a loft space, I'm prepared to lose enough back garden to do it too. Shame she isn't
At the moment anyway

I agree with Lukey you've gotta have gaffer tape in you essential collection. Anything's possible with those basic tools. You could even do a A-team grab a cardboard box and make a tank that'll withstand nuclear missiles out of it with your essentials lol

Thats a relief,thought It was just me! Lol!
Ya im going to have to do that I think Lukey.
