Default my mark 3 cabby.....update 31/12/2007

well guys..... the basics are....bought the car as a standard looking mk3 cabby with burton engine... stripped it to a shell.....rebuilt it....ran it for three weeks......bought a mk4 turbo....stripped it......stripped the mk3 AGAIN...... built it back up turbo powered. im not one for typing longs stories and im sure you get the point.....heres the important stuff......PICTURES!!






































i have few bits of the turbo for sale ... complete sunroof and mechanism (manual but all works)....set of five s2 turbo alloys good condition. one needs painted...... the steering wheel shown above.... complete s2 90spec kit.....

feel free to give opinions guys

Default back to it again

heres some news on my convertible..... the engine thats been put in i have got out again due to it starting to smoke. the turbo was not in the best of conditions when i done the convertion and also it started to develope rattles from the tappets. ive got another engine for it which has piper cam, got chipped ecu's and brand new t3 for it, i have also got a stage 3 t3 but im going to go with the new standard one for now. i have converted the mk4 rs turbo lsd gearbox to having the mk3 casing so thats also going in now too, heres some of the latest pictures

engine ready to come out almost





up up and away









the new turbo

very impressed with the finished cabby m8 ,I like mk3 cabbys more than mk4's they look far better when modded like that.
