but not my first B5,bought this about a year and a half ago as it was going for cheaps as it had mega mileage(200,000 miles)but the engine went pop after one to many hard runs after about three weeks and i had too many other cars on the go so it got put to the side.My sister said she would buy it so it got put in her drive where it sat for the last 15months during which time she decided not to fix it and bought a mk3 golf instead.I recently decided to get it back on the road after i found a set of rims that i liked

anyways 15 months sitting under a tree didnt do it any favours














t

 

hese were the rims i found that made me decide to get my finger out


got this done last week


tyres on and tried them up against

 

Glass bead blasted them at the start of the week and tidied up the cast




but the bulb inside the cabinet blew so only beaded the rocker and part of the inlet

took the cast lines of the majority of the inlet






got all the tyres on


cleaned out the throttle body and gave it a mild port

 

masked off the plugs and other plastics and gave it a light blast then a paint






got the inlet and rocker back from powder today








sorry about the huge post but its been a busy week or so,cheers for looking

 

Wow! I can't wait to see the end result. Are you going to lowered the car?

Great job with all the coatings.


^ Thought that yellow car was a Lambo. Is it a Smart Roadster or it's actually a Lambo?
