Rewind to circa October 2011.
Car history;
First, Punto 55sx. May 2008 - July 2009
Second, Peugeot 206 XSi. July 2009 - June 2010
Third, Honda Civic EP2 Sport. June 2010 - May 2011
Then, I had a Milano EP3;
Then I crashed it...
Literally the same week my commute to work changed from 5 miles a day to 100, so I needed a Diesel preferably. I viewed two sheds and then saw this;
Reflex Silver 130pd GT TDI, 6 Speed, 93k, full VW service history.
When I got her home;
I said I wasnt going to modify her because it was meant to be a stop-gap whilst I was working in Sheffield, so I fitted my C2 aerial;
Ipod headunit;
Angry bird (Now on my rear-view mirror)
...and some plates without dealer logos etc.
Found a bit of rust around the tailgate handle, common problem due to the rear wiper washer weeping onto the mechanism;
It needed the timing belt doing, so I ordered a full kit, pipercross filter, auxiliary belt, water pump, new fluids and filters etc;
Fitted this myself, which was a real ballache tbh.
Oh and purchased these from DPM Motorsport for £150.00 which I made from selling bits of the EP3.
Debadged and dewipered the rear;
Then got a few good mates round and this happened;
Got some TT Comps with tyres for cheap, decided to fit them and refurb sometime this year;
Dropped, rear adjusters still in;
Took the adjusters out the same night in a pub carpark, and she sat like this;
Experienced some bad rubbing from the front ARB which hoops over the driveshafts, so I got this from an Audi S3;
Up in the air again, couldnt have done this without the myths;
Rubbing solved.
A nighttime shot;
So thats it atm. Im in two minds whether to get a company car but I wouldnt be able to tinker and would have to keep for 4 years
so not to sure about that. I hated it at first, really did, but now Im using it every day Im actually really liking it, its brilliant on the motorway.
So if I keep it;
Spacers - front rubs on full lock and the rears could do with coming out 30mm or so.
US Spec rear lights
US Spec front bumpstrip
Sharan rear badge
Lupo/Arosa wing mirrors
Change the effing alternator pulley and cv joints
And then run it into the ground and get another EP3 when im not working as far
