gold mk2 vtr *bad news - broken into, might be going*

[dan-sport]

im putting this thread up for the mrs as she wants one up. She got the car june 2009 an it was on 91k she paid 1200 for it but it had a bent wish bone and a few other bits and bobs that wernt right, after about 3/4 months of ownership the battery kept dying even when she fitted a brand new one, gearbox lost gears and had a massive whole in it and the drivers seat rocked and sqeaked. november 2010 after a trip to milton keynes it started missing really bad and after a check over it turned out the spark plug had been ripped out the head but luckily i was breaking a silver mk2 at the time so i did the headgasket and a top end rebuild on the new head and its all good again. so After alot of money and alot of work she's happy with the car and its all good again now.

the cars currently on 126k and going strong.

mods atm are:

smoked front lights
jewel rear lights(not in pics but are currently fitted)
lowered 60mm all round by wilsy an lea
piper catback exhaust
standard brakes front and rear just drilled and grooved discs

plans:

4-2-1 manifold (from badgersport on here)
supersprint middle section(i think it is anyway) off vtcarl who i recently got my car off.
then thats it really

heres some pictures of it standard up to about 2 weeks ago but as i said its got jewels on it now.








i know it needs tyre shine haha but after a clean






cheers for looking comments and opinions welcome
