WW VRS - The rebuild.

Lummox · 04-10-2008, 21:26

Hey J want three black doors and a black tailgate?

mdk1 · 04-10-2008, 21:33

Wow, it didn't take you long to do that after we left at lunch time.

Ummm, no ta.

- Got a black roof?

WW_VRS · 04-10-2008, 21:49

The roof is black mate, although there is a bit of pink where it's marked up on the folds

WW_VRS · 04-10-2008, 21:51

Strangely one of the things I miss loads (apart from the power etc) is the silly things like the way the mirrors can be moved independantly instead of L+R split as in the Estate, plus the Quaife

smstext · 05-10-2008, 01:35

So its been moved from Jasons driveway now then weibo?

Lummox · 05-10-2008, 07:53

Its keeping nice and dry in U18, for now.

It was never on my drive?

I think you mean Bengie's.

Is the bonnet lifter kit still on the black one too? Give that bracket a lick of silver and job done.

WW_VRS · 05-10-2008, 10:11

Taxi 219 · 05-10-2008, 10:54

Seen it on WW's estate - think it was the first thing he swapped over too

WW_VRS · 05-10-2008, 14:55

That ventectomy thing was something I should have done ages ago, it's soooo worth doing

Once again thanks Basil for doing that

I may have to pop round to Ross' next weekend to stick the original steels on for a bit until I find funding for new rubber, the fronts are shot on the 17s that are on the car now, and I may as well I guess as nobody is interested in the old 14s

octimark · 07-10-2008, 08:59

Looking forward to checking the progress on this project. Hope theres plenty of pics to show all the hard work along the way.

Good luck guys

Babs · 07-10-2008, 20:50

Looks like some good work here

VRS 203 · 08-10-2008, 11:14

Will be checking back to this build up thread frequently.
Looks like its going to be a good one!

MudPuppy · 08-10-2008, 14:14

Excellent

I was hoping someone would build a vRS estate eventually

I look forward to seeing how this project goes.

snownrock · 09-10-2008, 12:37

Isnt Ninja Alex also building one?

Lummox · 11-10-2008, 19:19

Yes he is, hes a bit further ahead of me I think but he seems ot have a lot more time on his hands (not to mention pots of cash..lol).

A 'little' update from today

Getting there.

bengie · 11-10-2008, 19:53

bloody hell, sod all left of that now!

might pop over tomorrow if i'm welcome

WW_VRS · 11-10-2008, 20:17

Just keep a hold of the sound proofing, I need to get the estate measured at some stage but I've been to busy

Of course but im only up there for the morning.

ninja_alex · 11-10-2008, 21:09

I've stripped both cars, cleaned the estate and today i got the engine loom, abs pump, brake lines etc swapped. I had a mechanic friend over doing the clutch, timing belt, water pump, hybrid turbo etc on my engine that is out. Hopefully get the engine in this week.
I have ordered the vRS rear bumper for the estate along with a boot spoiler from CZ and hope to get all the bits in to paint next week.
It s amazing when they are striped, how much stuff has come out of the cars and where to store it???

Anyway Ross, i've been putting in 1 hour a day + Saturdays and whasts this pot of cash, can you tell me where i find it? It is useful though that i can clean and modify parts at work! The Milltek exhaust will be going in next week, to be extended to suit the estate, and I have honed and ultrasonic cleaned the manifolds etc.
