Scort_CVH Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Cars are lookin good can I ask how much the chassis work cost you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnrp Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 thanks for all the good coments ppl Scort CVH i did a lot of the prep work my self then got a mobile welder to come round and weld her back to gether cost me a 100 mate which i didnt think was to bad just got to practice welding my self now as i have a small mig unit but didnt want to mess that up rather pay out for some one to to it right first time lol as for a mint mk5 i wish it was mint had a few bits done but it needs a full blow over as a few diffrent shades of red but when i use the red polish it ties it all back in and really looks good just a few things left i want for the mk5 not even sure im going to keep the xr once im done just have to wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezmanian devil Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 mk5 look's good, dont like mk5b's tho.what you planning for the mk5 if anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnrp Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 not sure tbh if the xr fails its mot i may just strip and use the lump in the mk5. other thoughts were a 1.6 cvh to turbo at a later date or a 1.9 cvh theres just to many options really. But at the moment its still got std brakes no point upgrading them at the sec. The more i read what ppl are doing the more i want to sort it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
