richie boy

thanks alot guys for the comments..

I seemed to have blagged my 3 kids to come out and give me a hand on it this weekend so with a strong work force on it hopefully gonna get the interior sorted sound system wiring ran through aswell..
Got some new 60mm springs so the suspension should be all back together and i may take it outside for a quick wash off..

The BM is great fun but got keyed up big time the other night so i'll be doing a full Arctic Camo respray on her once the estate is on the road..

Well things kinda went tits up this month lmfao.. I got kicked out my workshop, so found another and spunk all my estate money moving in to that and getting it sorted..
Then the clutch and rad went on the BM so had to sort that straight away..

Anyway as i had to move workshops i had to get the estate rolling. so got all the suspension fitted and back on all fours..
Since being in the new workshop i've painted the shafts and fitted new cv boots and fitted the shafts and gear selector so that also means that i've drove her only in and out the workshop cos i still havent sort the brakes lol..
Pics are uploading very slowly but are on there way..

And today i took delivery of my new project.. MK3 3 door estate..

I like this and to be honest i think it looks mint how it is without the sideskirts on.

richie boy

Cheers guys, to be honest im liking her as she is without the kit on as well so she'll stay as is for now..

Anyway she's now MOTed, TAXed, broken and fixed so its all good and the hard work was all worth it. Just had gearbox mount issues which made the turbo rape the radiator







Then she was broke and being fixed lol..



All fixed and back together again..









Then had a little play..

This is looking tidy shame about getting kicked out your unit but your new one looks better

Did i see this on ebay a we while back ?

richie boy

Cheerrs fella, yeah i put her on ebay and nearly sold her but then once i had drove her i needed to keep her

hi,
are those 16 inch alloys.
i got a combi van.
lowered it i think 60mm and put 15 inch alloys on.
do you get any rubbing issues with 16 inch on.
i'm thinking of changing mine ?

richie boy

Yeah bud there's always something that needs doing/changing lol but all good and all worth it

Hey yeah they are 16's Mondeo SI rims bud and don't get any rubbing at all from them so all good
