bd Project Extra Low

[Bespoke Division]

This one starts like this.

A friend of mine rang me before Christmas & offered me a Golf GTI Mk3 16v that his friend had & it didn't interest me as it was to expensive & just before the holiday period I could do without buying another car so I turned him down.
A couple of day before Christmas he rang back say that the mate was desperate for some money & that he would let it go cheap so I offered him something stupid
He rang back a few moments later & said that he would except it only if I came down now & paid for it.
As I was at work & a bit of distance from him I asked my friend if he would pay for it & I would come around the next day & pick it up off him & he agreed

The next day me & harry went down to pick it up & it was supposed to be in very good condition, starts & drives etc, well it wasn't. I had dents, scratches, flat tyre & it ran like a bag of shit
Me being a man of my word & my friend being completely useless with cars oh & the main thing was that he had already paid for it I paid him & got it bought back.

This is what it looked like.

Next up was to strip it down

[Bespoke Division]

With most of my cars they get stripped & this was no exception
This is how it went down.















Time for these to go in the bin







The original grill had to go for a de-badged one.



Whilst I was in the stripping mode I removed the alarm that didn't work.







These also had to go

As I was planning on putting some audio in it, I thought that this was the best time to lay down some cables & whilst I was doing some cabling I had to do the big THREE









































Now that we had the big THREE done I wanted to check what the vaultage was, before we did this it was running 13.0v - 13.6 & now it runs 14.3v - 14.5v on idle.

Next install is a bit of Alcantara

Next install is a bit of Alcantara












As I was doing all the interior in black I could not leave the small bits that couldn't get trim in white so I painted them black







I have a few more pictures which I will upload later of the alcantara



The black paint was out so I also painted the backs of the headlights black

[Bespoke Division]

Ok now that the lights were black from the back it was time to smoke the headlights, indicator, dummy & fog lamps.
I used bd's headlight tint film this is much darker than some other films out there
(we stock this at all times 12"x24" for £19.99 + p&p)




As all the lights were stripped out I added a 501 bulb holder with a orange smd bulb to each indicator which I wired up to the side lights which were also changed to orange.

I had to brand the golf I realy love how this came out, just as I imagined.




Ok next it was time for coil-overs, I had used set laying around in the workshop which came off a mk3 that I broke up for parts.

Arch rolling had to be done if this was going extra low.



The arches wore going to be rolled next so the plastic arches came off.







The fronts were also down.

The drivers side rear arch had a couple of scabs so this had to, I cleaned it up & primed
for now with a rattle can, I have plans to do the body work at later date.














The damage you can see on the drivers arch was there before we bought the car.

Now the the arches were rolled I sealed the inside of the flattened metal with some tiger seal.







It was time to put a set of wheels on it so for now I have borrowed a set of Lenso bsx's 9j x 16" rears (195/40) & 7.5j x 16" (195/40) fronts from My Corrado Vr6 SLC which has been sitting for a little while now so these wont be missed












I Need to go LOWER

[Chase Otter(:]

[dav3design]

That looks so good already!

[Funtington]

looks GREAT, but needs to be lower in my opinion.

Chase otter up there is my cousin his Jetta is low as fuck. go as low if not lower. He is not even maxed on his coils and is low as can be and ride is still great.

Next up was sound deadening, as it's a budget build I didn't go for any branded stuff.



Sonic laying some down






Whilst Satman cutting it up











With help of many friends on a friday after work late in to the night & then the next day about late afternoon more friends & the ones from the night before came down to give a hand if they could.

The plan was to finish the rest of the build off


Time for some wires to go down & audio to go.




Stinger rca have been used

















Audio going into the car
Head unit Kenwood KDC-BT8044U
x2 Sets of Rockford fosgate P1652-s componets 6 1/2"
Powered by Rockford fosgate R300-4 amp
x2 Subs 15" Pro plus worf51 1000w rms
Powered by x2 Amergeddon AR2000.1d class d mono block 1000w rms @ 1ohm
I have also added a Cache cloc+d line out put converter (this boost signal voltage from the headunit)

I had a Mulberry high line interior sitting in the workshop so that was going in to the car


When I got the rear door cards out we found that some one previously had cut & screwed 6"x9" speakers in the rear door cards
This wasn't going to stop us so a temporary fix had to be done for us to complete this car by the end of tomorrow.
So we had to cut the bottom section on the original cloth door cards trim this section in black alcantara which it was going to be any ways to mach the front door pockets & roof lining.










Front door cards where complete so these now went on with the lower pocket trimmed in black alcantara & the tweeter housing











Neatened up some of those wires









Then Expanding foamed areas & places where it needed it















Jake helping me out





I had by now made a false floor & laid it down & foamed under that as well.



Left this to go for that night.
