Here is my mk2 she needs some tidying up and some love but we will get there.
I have moved the K&N since this photo was taken but it will be moved again once i have switched the washer bottle to the otherside and maybe relocated battery.

Will tidy wiring then move on to seat section.

Look what just happened they feel so much better full interior front and back seats with door cards haven't fitted cards yet but the ones in there seem to blend in getting there slowly

Christ that fork lift must be juicy!

Ahhhhh I love a vr6 as much as the next person on here but to ruin a 993 porsche is just wrong

So I have decided to change up the golf a little over the next few months. Having come to terms with the fact I doubt I will do track days in it I want to use it more and make it a little more comfortable. So I am going for a subtle amp/sub install, false floor and air ride. Then tidy some bits of paint up and drive it.
Made a start on the sub install.
 
Started with a frame.

Plan is to lay the false floor over the top and carpet it with as close to OEM as possible. Looking to have a hinged section in the middle maybe with some other trick bits.
Then air ride will sit on rear seat base. May find another set of rear carpets as mine went in the skip.
 
 

Stunning

looking good! Just needs some Recaro's in there now

Looking forward to this, never been up the strip before

Sorry here is a picture

Got my steering wheel in that Pete used to own always goes on any Vr I own and anniversary gear knob cd holder and radio feels a bit more homely now

Good buy you have brought it back to a really nice Vr

Thanks it is s good car very solid was surprised my self it does require a bit of welding in 2 places just a small section behind drivers side rear wheel and one rear floor Bung has gone it did look mint but me being me power washed it cleaning the underneath and carpet felt wet and power wash had blown the grommet through so have a fist hole but for what I paid for it I'm not bothered just get Ben to weld it and reseal and it will be like new so not bad considering

Can't believe how clean that car is, I even considered buying it myself. Not a bad price either by all accounts. Welcome back to the fold.

I'm now the new owner of this beast happy to own a Vr again even though my wife cannot work out why I would leave my clk on the drive and put my Vr in the garage needs a small bit of bodywork doing to it which I hope Ben will do when he has time and plan my attack over the winter for next season to bring it out

Nightmare mate, 
atleast it didn't hydro lock, 
so long as you get rid of all the water like your are doing, hopefully all should be good. 
 
Snorkel kit you need, going up side of windscreen haha 

This photo shows after better.

It will be all good in the end I got rid of my supercharged syncro 2 yrs ago I luv my new car I have had since selling my Vr but missing a Vr so bad so going to buy another much to my wife's dismay once your hooked there's nothing else once it's fixed you will have that smile back on your face again

So managed to track down a new idler pulley !
 

 
Hopefully get it fitted this weekend and get boosting again ??
 
Also managed pick up some power flex rest axel bushes for £48 quid from car parts 4 less using discount code FAST10.
Bargain, can't wait get them fitted as old ones seen better days. Not a job ill be doing myself though oh no !
 

 
Sunroof also broke on Sunday after VWNW ? so will be replacing the troublesome Corrado cassette with a golf mk3 item and using a Passat b4 moon roof glass. Should be a nice upgrade. 

After weeks of thinking about it I decided that I wanted to try something a bit different with the wheels so decided to have them diamond cut with dark grey backgrounds and satin laquered, as per some new Audis. Stuck the Compomotive's back on and it looked pretty awesome with the Air ride, lip and Comps on it!
I ended up sending the wheels to a local firm that promised the earth but haven't quite delivered, the finish is a bit crap to say the least? They looked OK on the car though and this was the day before one of my favourite shows Edition 38,
Was an excellent day and I was just about to leave when a nice man stuck a sticker on my window! Turns out I'd been awarded 2nd best Mk3 Golf behind Robg60 with Dougie Trix the other runner up.
Lining up waiting, colour's of the German flag! Then on the stage!!! Was brilliant to win something at Edition after years and years of seeing the types of cars that win here in magazines!! Super chuffed with that at the moment especially after reminding myself how this car started at the beginning of this thread!!!

Look forward to seeing it done!

hi guys so im Carter from leeds, 
i have owned 4 mk3 vr6's.. the first being a black 3 door the second a red 3 door as you may have seen on youtube the third a dragon green 5 door and forth a rear grey 3 door highline, as well as many other cars but always kept going back for more with the VR's, i guess it was a car that was cheap and fun and you got a lot of bang for your buck, as the saying goes... the 3 main things that attracted me the most was 1. price 2. the noise and 3. shape... however being younger i bought them had fun in them and sold them for quick few pennies and that was that, now being a bit more older i started to appreciate the car for more than what it is, instead of treating it like a condom lol anywho when i decided to buy 5th one it was going to be a project that i could spend some time on it, put a lot of work in and make it great and hopefully keep it and pass it down...
 
so in august 2015 i messaged a fellow forum user on here and i purchased my 5th mk3 vr6 3 door 1997 in anthracite blue with ac and climatronic it had only 2 owners which was in his family me being the third... it came with a full service history as well as a folder full of paperwork... the car was mechanically perfect no issues with the engine or running gear, i had it parked it up for nearly 7 months and it started perfectly not even a little cough, did a few minor pre MOT work then took it for an MOT it passed first time at National Tyres... the body work needing some attention with regards to rust no dents r scratches just rust, the rear arches were rusting and the there was odds spots  all over with rust as well as 2 wings that needing replacing which i had in the bassment from my previous VR's, i sorted out all the rust with a grinder and some rust treatment that is used in military which eliminates rust if any is left which i can assure there isnt any with the hep of the grinder lol so now the car is rust free.... the interior was in a decentish state the driver cloth seat was ripped in places the headliner was sagging and the steering wheel was ripped so all got replaced, new colour concept recaro leathers with door cards a sparco teering wheel and replaced headliner... so they were the issues that was there already which got rectified...
 
now comes the fun parts buying the new parts and fitting them lol whatever parts i bought i always had the mind set of functionality first looks second..
 
MOD's LIST (so far lol)
coilovers - brand new - i went with fk ak street coilovers as they were cheap but functional and good quality for the price, the ride is good the lows are good nothing to complain about
exhaust - brand new - i went with a custom decat from front to middle box and bought a direnza exhaust because i had one fitted previously and it did the job well, again fucntonal and no problems
headlights - brand new-  morette tinted see through headlights with the air intake mod
steering wheel - brand new - sparco suede steering wheel because why not and i needed a new one and it looks awesome
shifter - second hand - purchased a short shifter of a fellow memeber who makes them on this forum
silicone water hoses - brand new - i decided to get silicone hoses because the lower water pipe reutrn from coolant tank likes to crack and leak so replaced them all and benifits included greater pressure holding and i went with red to match the spark plug leads
speakers - bradn new - pioneer speakers 2 tweers in the front dash and 2 two ways in the back 
leather seats/door cards - second hand - needed a new interior so got a pair of black leather colour concept recaros and rears with headrests and door cards
wheels - second hand - genuine 15" bbs alloys with genuine centre caps which i refurbished in gloss back
 
forgot to mention i will be getting the car resprayed in the original colour as not to have to miss match the engine bay colour etc and easier and cheaper, s for now i have wrapped the car in matte metallic anthracite grey...
 
so for now thanks for reading any comment welcome and i will add as i go along with any updates.
