B5 boomerang

[dubbed_up_daz]

Of course chris Ive still got the adaptors that eventually turned up for a B5 and ill probably almost certainly pick another one up at some point

Stripping off the underseal in the mk1


sorted out the lips on the RS001s with chrome powdercoat,these will be the road wheels and I cant be bothered with the upkeep on polished lips on this car


tried them on but they were only dry built




then gutted the inside


top mounts came


Picked up some revolution rfx to use with slicks for short circuits(tyres in pic.will be binned)


got some carbon




currently just sat on the top but after the cage goes in the roof and cross spars will get chopped out


mk3 bumper an ideal width


picked these up to use as long circuit slicks




sitting in the corner kinda unloved for a while

[dubbed_up_daz]

its been sat in the corner for a while because I picked up this cheap part finished mk1


wasnt getting the azevs in the deal which included a freshened up vr,newish coils,fully polybushed and 256 brakes and a fresh paint job but Id picked these ASC's up for the green car and figured id try them on








the mounts got sorted out


and the bay which had been done a contrasting cream got done body colour


wheels got powdercoated a bright silver and tyres on


engine going in


and got a wash once it was fairly complete


But I wasnt too happy with it,pulled the fk highsports off and fitted the konigsports that were meant for the green car(its getting slightly better stuff)


and the brakes got upped from 256s to 280s


and a bit of measuring and resetting later




almost complete


seats are almost konig knock offs but are just budget bucketed recliners for now


and at my mates unit where he done most of the work of the brown cars build


I was hoping to get a couple months use out it before the winter kicked in but build issues like a bad loom set it back so long it was just unfeasible so its now parked up in my own unit :'(

[dubbed_up_daz]

During the year id had a good run at work and a long time want turned and the money id been saving for the green cars engine(fully built 20vT was planned)got used to purchase this....

2003,mapped,box mapped,H+R coils,full Milltek,massive history




Plan was it already had the major bits id want done done so I wouldnt have to do a lot of spending and just enjoy it...

took it straight up the road from buying it and tried on wheels...






picked up a fairly cheap Gallardo brembo gt kit


got the option of picking these up too but possibly a touch big




got down to some driving in it,rattled up 8000 miles in @3 months


decided to go with colour coded mulliners


then discovered the coils were fairly seized plus id thought they were also a bit on the soft side so bought a set of AH flachwerk H+R races


picked up a pile of parts and we done a comprehensive fluids service


brakes had been a major issue on a pistonheads run....basically flat out for 400odd miles


very cooked and nasty


All on but getting mega late


Took it home and filled it up and I also had a bootful of workgear


it was very poor took it back over too my mates the following day and washed it,measured it all up,reset it and then fitted some random 10mm spacers




after a short drive to let it settle


small hickup with a hare heavily into three figures was annoying


Gave it a damn good thrashing but its off for paint now,just before I took it into the paintshop


It got a wash before I dropped it off for paint btw lol. My gf followed me over to the paintshop in another lucky purchase. I got the chance of a car that was slowly getting prepared for track duties but the guy had gave up and decided he wanted another porsche. I was gobsmacked with the receipts that came with it, 2004 TTS, bilstein Pss9s, brembo junior brakes all round, H+R anti roll bars,fully polybushed and a 1.9 20vT with flowed head,gt28rs,water meth,sem inlet full down pipe and system,air intake etc etc etc


engine and seats going in the green car then ill use the damaged S3 from earlier to rebuild the TT to almost standard spec






also went to have a look at another RS6 for a mate but it had far too many issues for him to play about with it so he passed on it so I scooped it up as a parts car










and thats pretty much what ive been up to the last couple years since the red B5

[mgpdoc]

Well for starters, WoW for remembering all this.
And then WOW for the ease you change cars.
I wish some of those was kinda finished though before you left is aside.

rs6 parts car... wut. Both of them are beautiful, good work man!

[dubbed_up_daz]

The other rs6 I bought has lots of mechanical gremlins and I picked it up very cheap. For the two headlights, front bumper, bonnet and the factory interior carbon inlays alone it was worth it.

Out of the cars I went through in the last couple of years most of them were meant to be purely for work. The A8 I was never going to sell but the rs came up and I had to sell some of the rest to afford it. The green track car and the rs6 are the only keepers really, the brown mk1 I saw the opportunity to finish off a car that someone had lost interest in and use it as a fundraiser to kick start my own mk1 love again and get me back in to working on my mk1 jetta coupe. Thx for the comments,
