Sounds like a good project.

Love the sound of the VR6 lump as well.

Keep us updated :y:

Maybe not the most powerful/quickest but one of the best sounding engines out there. I dont generally like golfs that much but theres a mk3 VR6 by me that sounds awesome

Please don't do that light brow.
Has it been widetracked?

Yeah it's been widetracked then. Good stuff buddy I'll keep an eye on it.
The vr6 is just very throaty and basically sounds like god doing a fart (in a good way).

Heavy old lump though, cheap coilovers tend to struggle. I'd recommend Fk Konigsports.

MMMMM love mk2's! always wanted one with a 4wd Running gear + Bam engine. There was a lad down this way that had a white vr6 turbo mk2 with perpex windows + cage etc. it was an animal!

Good project choice!

He comes to our local meet. He cooked the engine on his last track day but I think he's rebuilt it now.

Looks alright for the money, can't wait to see it turn around.

I'll be watching this.

I'm not sure as I never saw it with the bonnet up. Just remember it looking completely race spec from the outside

So you tell me this here AND call me with abuse? :hug: haha I'll be sure to have the eyebrow on mine for Hulloween if you decide to man up and come :y:

Did this come off eBay and a trip to margate?

You've inspired me and the old man to restore another Triumph. Just got to decide between Spitfire or GT6.

Is that a Candy Apple Red or is it the OEM colour Mika (I think that's the name). It's an absolutely stunning colour.

(P.s - Check my thread for new wheels ;))

I do believe this is Mica Red. This is quite possibly the best Mk2 on the planet!

My centres will be white or Calypso Green (colour coded) with Merc centre caps.
