#1: Johnk progress thread Author: johnk, Location: Fife, ScotlandPosted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 2:34 pm ---- Gutted to be having to make this again was epic typing it all before and finding all my old pics so here we go again!
bought the car in feb 2006 looked something like this...
1st purchase for the car was a spoiler and some sp arches
Which i painted in my garage didnt turn out too badly!
Then got hold of some wheels of a mate just didnt look right not being lowered!
Changed wheels again got some 106 raptors in black
Shortly after bought some springs and shocks and fitted them
So the car was looking like this which i was happy with
Then some vortex(180) alloys came up at a bargain price so snapped them up
After a clean
Then purchased a peco backbox
Then when it was looking its best also showing my showcage
Then in january 2009 i bought a gti engine off brian(brian) and graham(fool_throttle) to do a conversion on my car
Started taking the old engine out
Preparing to put new one in
shortwhile later engine was in
Then swapped/part exchanged wheels with wagsy for some nimrods
which then got swapped for some cyclones
Which i sold and bought some siroccos from wagsy again
That are also sold now! and have some 15" gti alloys bought from (irish al)
Few other bits done along the line.
then last week won these on ebay and picked them up in glasgow so on the look out for the rear
So thats how the car stands at the minute, conversion still aint complete due to losing my job/moving to england for a few months then back up here last novermber when i started working again so all thats left to do is the wiring loom then it'll be back on the road.

#10: Re: Johnk progress thread Author: chrisgordon7gti, Location: DurhamPosted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 10:36 am ---- nice car mate. you have been through some wheels, looking good
#11: Re: Johnk progress thread Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 10:41 am ---- Wheel w**re
Looks good mate, and it's come a long way! Those 106 GTI wheels were mental, would have been good if you could have dropped the front down more!
#12: Re: Johnk progress thread Author: Iain, Location: Aberdeen, ScotlandPosted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 12:11 pm ---- Niiicee, think I liked the black Cyclones the best
#13: Re: Johnk progress thread Author: kencogurl, Location: Carmarthen - WALESPosted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 2:21 pm ---- looks really good but can i ask something are u sure those alloys are vortex as they look like callangers, vortex's have a painted center badge and challengers are a badge that is stuck on !!! or i migt b rong but have been told the same information before
#14: Re: Johnk progress thread Author: johnk, Location: Fife, ScotlandPosted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 2:26 pm ---- hey cheers, nah there vortex, challengers have a removable centre cap, vortex are just a stick on badge
#15: Re: Johnk progress thread Author: johnk, Location: Fife, ScotlandPosted: Thu Apr 15, 2010 1:51 pm ---- Just thought i would update this cars pretty much ready to go everything connected up new seats in/gti dials/carbon look centre console....just need ecu unlocked and the engine plug/interior plug wires swapped around.
Really struggling to find anywhere to get the ecu unlocked had a quote from www.bluehawkelectronics.co.uk/ for £85 then couldnt get in touch with them for weeks about posting it down and payment then last night there website stopped working
Emailed ecosse see if they could unlock the ecu and sort wiring told them everything was connected up and all electrics were working, cant give me a price unless i get the car towed like 45/50miles to let them see it.

Hi John
I could give you a price but until we see the car it would be a very very rough estimate.
We get this allot and the car is never how it is described.
We would really need to see the car to give a price.
Regards Greg
anyway heres some pics i took fitted exhaust system today to discover the backbox sits about 5inches past the bumper , so the grinders coming out to play on the centre section tomorrow .
Also sold my red 206 gti but took the phase 2 rear lights and gloss black mirrors
