After raising abit money from breaking my black 6 i decided to get myself another 6 at the weekend Big grin
i bought the 6 from blaze wip noing it needed abit of work as he didnt have the time to do it himself. Thanks rob Thumbs up

problems with the car that i no of is it needs its breaks sorting as you have to pump them to get them to work. its already had a new master cylinder on and that aint made any difference rob says. new front springs, an exhaust clamp a wing, paint damage on the roof and it's a tapper too

here is a few pics from when rob had it:








Bit of gravel rash..



B pillar trim peeling











Can someone PLEASE tell me what the feck is going on here?! Looks like its been washed with a brillo pad.





got the car about 1 mile away from my house, hit a bump and the spring popped of blowing my tyre Crazy

today i had abit time after work to do some work on the car. 1st of all i removed the broken rear wiper and the badges from the back but someone had already removed the gti6 badge and replaced it with a foster'd badge Blink
then i fitted my exhaust, washer just, aero wipers and smoked indicators then i made a start on the front strut.

here is a few update pictures of my work:

The infamous red tin of paint has reappeared soon to be liberaly splashed everywhere such as both coolant fans, The complete engine along with the As performace.com sticker. I'm looking forward to see this cars progress.

Joking aside, all the best with this one. Maybe black was unluckly for you? Thumbs up

So what is your plans for this one? If i bought it, I would have sorted the bodywork and made the car a good clean honest example with alot of elbow grease and time. I still to this day have not seen you in person, however i frequently see your girlfriends 106 with the cyclones fitted.

today my black 6 went to the scrap heaven LOL






befor hand i dropped my new 6 of at the local garage to get the brakes sorted out as there would only work if you pumped them a few times, not very safe. hopefuly it wont take much sorting.
after that i decided to give my spare cyclone a refurb to see what my chosen colour would look like. not a bad choice i dont think Big grin




similar colour to these

they were full of air, had to be pressure bleeded and the read pads were right down to the metal. also the rear wishbone P bush has gone, just waiting on my new ones turning up so i can get them fitted.
