I did consider that option, will see how my idea pans out first :lol

That's the Last big bit finally tacked up! Rear inner arch was always going to be awkward and I've got to somehow make a U shaped piece up to replace the arch lip for the plastic arch to bolt to and that I can weld to the body and the sheets I've tacked in.

This is what I like to see. Tacked the last big bit up on mine today but the cold a dark beat me :lol

Mrs and kids kick their shoes off at the back door which is just inline with that random one under the car :lol

Tap the intercooler

Day off work with a bad eye but I sneaked out to do a bit on the truck :D Wings on but it needs a trim now it's bolted up. Moved the occ too as I wasn't 100% happy with it before

Airbox modding done! Another job ticked of the list :thumb2

This was modded engine wise but I went through a phase of wanting to sell it so sold all the goodies and wound the coilovers up a touch. Still undecided what to do with it at the minute tbh.

It's definately quick, had a mk1 octy vrs before this which is the 1.8t and that was great too. Mk1 is basically a well Specced booted mk4 golf without the price tag and the mk2 is a mk5 golf. Serious value for money over vw, audi and seat. I prefer my older motors and had a mk3 golf vr6...

Cheers Jim. Got the bumper mounts all welded up and re fitted, although it needs a bit of adjustment one side it'll do for now. Bit more done today.

If I was to do it again and could afford it I'd have gone for the yeti 4x4. 170bhp diesel. Although it's a cracking car and reliable as hell its just to new for me.

No brisky stickers on now as all stickers have been taken off. Wheels are a bit marmite but it was the silly offset that sold them to me lol. Folks said they wouldn't fit so that spurred me on even more :D

Some graft going into this :thumb2

Just hammerite for now until I can get some more waxoil/underseal. With it being stood outside and fresh metal I thought it best to protect it a bit :thumb2

Done a bit more Also got the front bumper all tweaked and welded up so it fits half decent now :thumb2

Other than the maverick we have this that the wife batters everyday :( Great cars and this is our 2nd one, the first being the mk1 1.8t vrs. It is pretty unloved at the minute due to the maverick taking all my spare time. It did used to get some live before the 4x4 came on the scene :D...

On to phase 2....the passenger side! Connected battery after it being off for months and boom, first turn of the key it fired up. Saw daylight and swapped it around. Rear arch seems to have had a repair in the past as there's no lug holes that the plastic arch clips into. The rear inner arch...

I got an auto helmet off eBay £32 and it's awesome, loads of reviews from guys saying they've put there expensive ones away because it's that good. Came with gloves, hat and spare lenses :thumb2
