    All back seat done and grinded all rust out found another fairly big hole above where the fuel filter is so that's going to be fun cutting all that out and welding in a new piece! Oh and my rear window is going down but not going back up, think it's come off the runner so got to fix that again! Haven't got pictures but sprayed all the floor in primer just to protect it before sanding down again finishing off the welding re-painting with zinc primer then going to use shutz under seal to finish off, double protection from rust and has sound dreading properties so should be a little quieter and a

    Hi all been a member of the club for a couple weeks now and have realised I haven't posted anything about my vr6 build, so here goes! I've bought a 1997 mk3 golf vr6 for £550 so a bit of a bargain, when the shell is pretty solid apart from a couple rust patches, however it came with next to no interior a set of bucket seats rear brace and some sparco harnesses! So as you can imagine for someone who has never owned a VW before it was a bit of a daunting task but I like a challenge! So when getting the car I knew very little about it more off a punt if you l

    Hi mark, No not at all, the brake upgrade is setting me back £300 including braided hoses. Car already has coilovers on just need to poly bush and upgrade the anti roll bar. I've had a little nosey at the tarox brake set up I don't have just over a grand lol very nice though! Can you tell me where I can purchase an uprated anti roll bar and what sort of make to go for? Also I've been looking at polybushing and saw a set on eurocarparts £236 for what they call a handling pack this is where I can't differentiate which bush goes where especially in the pic anyway! Except I'm sur

    That's fine like I'm said I'm completely new to the dub scene. However I know that the guy before me has put uprated cams and bigger fuel pump on the engine, also very likely it has had a remap! It's very lively to say the least plus I have 16" bbs wheels which should house the bigger brakes. Plus who doesn't like the look of bigger brakes... ? I have kinetic drilled and grooved 312mm discs and brembo pads coming with overhauled and serviced and painted carriers and callipers also got a set of six HEL braided hoses for front and rear just need to get better discs and pads for the rear and I th

    Hi rich, thanks for the info think I'm going to go ahead and do that! The fronts have 288mm discs on at the moment from what I gather anyway like I said just got it so still doing my digging need to buy a new car jack as well my old one has given up on me! ? Don't know if the calliper for that would fit a 280mm set up?

    So I've just bought myself a mk3 vr6 brother in law raves about them so thought I'd see what all the fuss about, fair to say ten seconds later I see why! Now I'm stripping it down and rebuilding been doing a bit of digging and seen that there is a 312mm brake upgrade for the front brakes is than upgrade for the rears or is a case of leaving them just getting better discs and pads? If there is what is it and how do I go about doing it? Many thanks in advance Aaron
