Still plenty of time going into this thing, just sand sand sand right now. Uncovering any rust gremlins and basically only parts are the sills where it wasn't jacked properly....

Since gutting the sleeping gear out of the back of the van, I've added a roof top tent. James Baroud EVO. Absolutely amazing quality and suits the T4...

Yep, picked it up from down hobart way. 227xxx kms which I thought was ok with some solid service history. It will probably come apart once I get it all going in the mk3... Budget is being prepared...

Thanks mate...

Well I'm still hunting hard for a donor. Failing miserably. Cannot find ANY 1.8t cars here in Tas, can't find anything worth putting my heart, soul and paychecks into... best...

Yea I've had a read back at alot of posts Tassie related and looked great!

Hit me up with a donor car and I'll do it ;)

Gotta find myself a 1.8t first before I 'accidently' get onto another 2.8L, maybe a 3.2L or even a delicious 3.6L... can't escape the awaiting punishment!

So it begins again! I have transferred the same title from my mk2 VR6 thread, only changing the mk2 to mk3, can't leave that the same coz the mk2 is much sexier than the...

Might be a bit back and forth now, picked up this little machine. Needs some motor work but have most of the stuff I need to get it going again... Should be posting some updates...

Right, haven't updated this one for a while, been very busy on the golf. But I definitely wanted to add an update because I just changed the clutch and it was the worst experience of my life, took me...

Thanks mate, extremely happy with it!

Yummmo, coilovers in. Dropped it wayyyyy too low first time and had to re-adjust, lost the tyre way up in the guard...

Thanks mate, thats really helpful stuff! It'll take me a while to understand what works and what doesn't. Don't have much experience with different suspensions and what not, just going to be...

Just picked up these babies, BRAND NEW from ebay, for an astronomically low price of $274. I am broke, no way I can fork out money for KW's or BC's, so these cheapies will do....
