Subject: MY VENTO SO FAR ..... ( PIC HEAVY) 27.06.09 10:34
( ive just copied and pasted from what ive posted on other forums so this is how it started and how its become )
Yey finally got another car sold my corsa and ive been savin up and lookin 4 a nice jetta mk2 but couldnt find any tidy 1s so i started lookin at the jettas older bro the vento lol and i found 1 in lancashire so went up 2 get it yesterday and its awesome.
i got a blank canvas 2 start euroing it (if thats a word)
will keep u all up2 date wiv the project lol
this was just a quick chop but this is ruffly how i want it 2 look like
I got my car a new gear knob
The old crappy 1
The new 1
and with that gear knob i got this with it
its a small strat 4 my big car lol
Hey guys and my m8 fixed my car 2day and now just need 2 get my wheels tracked coz they r out haha i had som major negative camber after we fitted the new bottom arm lol was stikin out like 2 inches and the top of the wheel
This is wot a normal 1 should look like (flat)
This is wot i managed 2 do 2 mine lol
bent like hell haha
and going 2 town 2moz 2 get my wheels lazer tracked
nxt on my list coilover URGENT
heres is a pic update of my car i washed it yesterday but there was no point as its filthy again 2day and these are b4 pics b4 i put my coilovers on when they arrive
here is the proper pic of my car wiv the grill on
and these are the coilovers ive bought and relly cant wait till i get them on my car
This is just a parts update and 1st is the awsome deep dish steering wheel that i bought from Ultimate Dubs
and ive also ordered some german styled pressed plates and a straight thru center pipe
and i know i aint put my coilovers on yet and ive had 2 sort another problem out my CV joint went but i hope they will be on soon
Had a 10 hour cleaning session over the weekend then took some pics and probs the cleanest its been since new haha
and i also smoked my indicators and fog blanks wiv some tights
and that pic was taken b4 the cleaning started
Time 4 another update i say and not much of 1 but just that my pressed plates and straight thru center pipe is on and i went 2 take few pics 2day
and my wheels should be ready this week :lol:and will post up pics asoon as i get em
and if ur wondering where my rear badge has gone no some pikey aint nicked it i took it off im going 2 get a black 1 and my coilovers are finally going on 2moro woooooooo
and when i get my wheels they wont be on untill bout June because i have 2 get 4x new tyres and 4x hub adaptors my car is a 4 stud and my wheels are 5 stud but will look awsome when there on and will be worth the wait
My new wheels
and i rekon theyll be on my car bout june-ish i know but i aint loaded so have 2 wait 4 my wage every month
and also ive lowered my car wooooo and its not relly low yet coz im gunna get the new wheels on then lower it 2 where i want it but its a lot better than the standard ones
i dropped my car 2 the floor
and heres some pics i took of it
and i know its filthy and it needs a clean
and some stickers ive bought 4 it lol
and instead of buying hub adapters 4 it 2 get my wheels on ive bought vr6 hubs, rear beam and all the brakes and also makes my car a 5 stud and no my wheels will fit straight on when its on
but my car is sick right now head gasket went on it and i thought whilst the head off and that iv bought a cam 4 it but fitted it all up and everything its still misfiring and it backfires back up the inlet manifold not good and 2 try and solve the misfiring we've bought new rotor arm, dizzy cap and new leads and it had new plugs 2 months ago but still doing it ??
so what do u guys think of it so far ?????
