I am swapping the lot, so the only thing that remains is the estate shell

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.

Alex

I'm joking with ya mate

Om taking it all out on this one as I am seprating what I need etc so I can sell the rest on. Plus working out the logistics of ESP and Xenons to go on.

What about the rear bumper, lights and wheels? Are they all damaged?

Re: WW VRS - The rebuild.
nope it isnt - remember my car vs Stu's Mk2 Octy it's got a little crack at the left hand side, may be fixable though as you can hardly see it.

One of the rear lights was ok I thought, but who knows.

The tricky thing is making sure all bits are with Ross as I have a few at the flat still. Got so much to do it is scary LOL

Ah I remember now.

Still worth trying to sell the one light on eBay and the bumper - but listed with mild damage.

Oh - Stop moaning and pull your finger out

Re: WW VRS - The rebuild.
Spent and age trying to unbolt the filler neck etc for the propane tank, then thought feck it.





Easy peasy.

The Bengie just encouraged me to have a bit of fun while the grinder is out.







So as it stands the wiring is all removed, the whole rear is stripped and the engine is almost ready to drop out.

Yeah but only afterwards, and even then he wasn't sure.

Still all good in the end.
