Thought it was about time I started a build thread for my whip as I have had it for almost 2 years now and have done quite a bit already.
the guy before had lowered it and fitted a 2l bottom end and box but the shift rods were knackered and the drivers seat was from another car and had all the stuffing hanging out.
The day after getting the car home some idiot didn't look when leaving a roundabout and rubbed the front of his car down the drivers rear 1/4 and drove off making me chase him to the other side of the town and then give me false details... Thanks!
following weekend jet wash took most of the lacquer off the bonnet, all in all not a great start to rocco ownership.
Got a gear shift referb kit and sorted out the lack of first and second, took a mate for a drive and he snapped the cables for the sunroof, Thanks!
found a full interior on the bay in Kent for £40 went to pick it up and the guy who's name I cant remember knew of a mkII the same colour as mine in a scrappy down the road and suggested I follow him so I could liberate the sunroof from it. Very nice fella and a nice silver mkII.
Ride hight was next on my agenda and having never raised a car was not gonna start then so got hold of a set of BMW BBS from a guy who works in the local dealerships parts dept gave em a quick paint job and treated them to a set of 40 profile TOYO PROXY'S and loaded the car to set off for Bug Jam 08....
....every corner was rubbing so all luggage and beer was swapped into a mates T4 van but roundabouts still came with the Dolby 5.1 rubber on lips (Trimmed the fronts n stopped having anyone in the back or a full tank and problem solved), spent the weekend hammered dressed as a gay cowboy and left to go home, all electrics died just after leaving the pod and then came back to life an hour later and still don't know why.
Morning of bug jam
Told you I was hammered
