RA28GT Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Posted April 20, 2010 wow, it seems like every time I check this section of the rides threads Troy has a new VW... what you got in store for us this time??? Seems that way doesn't it? Paint flat white No bumpers all round Fill all holes etc and relocate indicators and the big one: AIRBAGS! that thing is f#$king sik!! i want 1!! does it have chrome bumpers? that would set it off.. They do standard but I'm going for a different look with this car and running no bumpers. Quote
Raven Posted April 20, 2010 Report Posted April 20, 2010 I'll wait for this one to get defected too :dance: No bumpers = No no in the eyes of Mr. Law Enforcer. Quote

RA28GT Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Posted April 21, 2010 I'll wait for this one to get defected too :dance: No bumpers = No no in the eyes of Mr. Law Enforcer. Absolutely no chance of being picked on for no bumpers. You'll never be able to tell unless your very familar with type 3's. It will just look like any other car to normal people. I think ill have more chance of being defected for the height and the airbags don't you think? Quote
ScottKE1X Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 I agree with that, it would be different if it was a Commonadore with no bumpers. If it came to it you could spin some shit about it this model is an import and has intergrated bumpers or something but I doubt they'd even notice. Quote

But then they may ask why it was not made the comply with Australia standards when it was imported. :dance: I agree with Troy, they'll pick on the ride height way before they even notice the bumpers..... but I supoose that depends on how much air the bags have in them at the time! :) Quote

Johno Posted April 24, 2010 Report Posted April 24, 2010 Haha, make it amphibious.. it would be a pisser :laff: Quote

silverra23 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Posted May 2, 2010 Kehendo you should look at the non-toyota thread I am just about to put up.. should sort you out nicely :) Quote
RA28GT Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) New Plans! I havent had much time to spend on this lately so i have decided to give up on previous plans. I'm 'ratting' her, driving her and enjoying it! Ive got it on the road and its going great, drives very nice considering. Lately i have: -Installed a new exhaust, twin tips, sounds MEAN. -Got a new bumper with over-riders, cost me $10! It was f@$ked and so i have straightened it and threw on a couple spot lights. -Full service and tune worth a few hundred. -Cleaned up alot of little things. -Installed a single rusty eyelid. (it rocks) -Lowered all round. Still to come: -More stickers -Retro graphics -hood ride stencil -whatever other crap i think of? Heres a shitty iphone picture, will take some good ones once its closer to finished. Edited June 23, 2010 by RA28GT Quote
