Default my mk3 big UPDATE! new splitter + cuple of flash pics!

hi guys!

a few months ago i wrote my car off my 1st car on the m25 heres a piccy of that





there was a hell of a lot of chassis damage and that was that!

....

after a few freaky coincidnces i got this tatty fez foer the grand some of £30!!! ( £26 once ya deduct the money i found in it behind the seats ;D )



after some hard work, a lot of autoglym products and a few buys on ebay ...







( minus an exhaust in this pic but thats sorted now! THANK YOU RICH! )


.... how it often looks after a hard drive... not very clean!

the car itself ws quite sound, just needed a small bit of weilding and some wipers etc and a damn good service.

its got all the recaro interior back in it and im d**n ha[ppy with how its all gone, currently has a 1.1 4 speed ( ) engine in with just a peco, 4-2-1 and K and N which i got for next to nothing but, once the insurance has cleared a little i have a 2.0 mondy engine in waiting!

since these pics were taken i have added some 3.5 mirrors and i have got hold of some -30mm Gmax springs, but ive only ever herd bad things about them?i have xr2i springs and shocks currrently on it.


i know at the mo its just another replica, but plan wise the mondeo engine is on the list, i also want to euro it up a bit, ie. lower it and i am on the look out for some wider deep dish rims.

cheers for looking

matt

i custom made my arsed using si spats and body filler lol, turned out well but you ca fit the while kit, the only probs you have is with the back door ( i think ) as it won't be able to open, jus cut out the shape of your door to the rear arches... obviously i cant guarrentee this is 100% correct as i havent done it, but i have seen someone else do it like this.

any questions pm me
