My cars coming off the road soon
 

Thought i would let you know that my cars coming off the road long term in a months time. It needs a full ground up rebuild and respray with the engine out. The engine is also a bag of shit with the manifold blowing so i was going to do a strip down check and rebuild on that also. The cars a wreck so i cant continue doing 2000 miles a month in it flat out,

Im buying another car in a month and am toying with the idea of a mk3 golf vr6 as i took one round the Nordschleife at Nurburgring and there pretty good on coilovers.:). I only trust jap or german cars. I also hadnt even thought about getting one until it got suggested to me by someone earlier and looked up how dirt cheap they are

Sorry to here that mate, you'll have to post some pics up of the work as it happens, Im going to have a full respray soon once ive saved up enough lol the two tone just doesnt do it for me anymore plus im not living it down at work:o

its anoying. I just dont think i am going to get the big jobs ive started finished properly with it being in daily use.

Yep the two tone is a little grandad for my likings

sorry to hear that:( but im sure it will be worth doing a proper job that will last:)
not too keen on german cars myself, especially FWD ones:o i dont mind some bmw's but each to his own:)

thats sick..
out of all the golfs you could choose:1la

good luck with the build keep us posted i would just suggest you go for a civic vti cheap and cheerfull all the way to 9000rpm get the 4dr eg9 version 92-95 best spec it came in i think http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...86/KRDVTI3.jpg

160bhp from a 1.6 100bhp per ltr same as a mclaren f1 this one was supped up to 200bhp NA

a 2.8ltr engine in a golf seems like a good idea to me :p

Im looking forward to rebuilding the s12 though and having it as a weekend type car. It will mean i can get all those jobs that take more than a day to do done easily

good luck with the project hope to see it back on the road

Same here mate - Just don't get too attached to that Golf Pukka!... :eek:

Oh Dear
 

HI Pukka,

Good idea buying German but not FWD, you will be bored within weeks....

I bought a Porsche 911 recently as my second car and its much more fun - especially sideways !!
