VTR, start of project! - Saxperience

diff · 21st December 2009, 20:58

Well i sold me Furio about a week ago and picked up my VTR

.

I've never seen this colour of VTR before and i personally think its really nice.

Its been lowered 55mm on the back

( getting it raised v.soon to 40mm)

Been lowered 45mm i think on the front.

Had a performance straight through exhaust fitted which sounds really good.

I swapped my original air filter over (Pipercross).

Vts wheels i have been told, sprayed gun meta grey with lime green strips round the edge.

Green wing mirrors ( not too sure on them yet)

De-wipered rear window.

Smoked original front and rear lights.

Sprayed green badges.

Bad Points

Needed a new clutch, so had a velvo (think its called that) on sat,

Unfortunatly while we were doing that i found out i needed a new gear box, so hopefully doing that by next week.

It is getting raised by next week as well so won't rub any more.

Needs a little bit of welding but that won't be a problem, have that sorted soon.

had my tracking sorted.

I think it looks good. But i got it as a project so ideas really welcome!

I want it looking really different and have just started a new job so have funds

good base for a project mate

i will be following your thread so keep it updated. will also have a vtr mk1project in the new year, really looking forward to jumping into a project and making it my own.

i think that looks smart, abit of a clean up, either get rid of the green mirrors, or do a few more bits, badges, door handles etc,
how much you pay for it dude?

diff · 21st December 2009, 21:53

Il be following that then 'mattymcn'.

Just after that photo i gave it a good clean and polish and its in really good condition for sayings it on a 1999 plate. The badges are already green, but i was thinking a green border on the side strips? Im not sure yet. I got it for £1050, and its only done 57k.

kieron6 · 21st December 2009, 21:53

badges are green already
