im a big fan of what youve done.. love the rear quater.. did u pull the quater panel yourself? lovely car:)
ya bought a heater and roller myself and just took my time kind of learned as i went along haha, wouldnt say there is much left in it before the quater kinks and dont want that but might go at it again and see if i can get a bit more
haha, you from balla? ya im delighted at how the bumper came out took alot of work when i got it tho, fitments was a bit dodge around the passenger light and all lil dipps in it that i had to fill and sand,
ah ill get them and see they cant be that bad, defanatly need the front wings as i fucked up on the passanger wing rolling it, and if i keep the pulled fenders they will need filler and a respray and want to try the overs before i decide on that.
Looks feckin great! Love that bumper, personaly id lose the veilside sticker but aside from that, looks savage! especially in your sig!
BAllyhaunis dude. Was over at total tuning and stopped ta chat ta Gav for a bit.
very nice looking car
Cheers dude, must get some proper pictures when its done al i have is my camera phone pos, im quite fond of the sticker its about the only one on it i like bar the jimmy up one on the rear window must scrape off a few of them act.
Ah nice one, haunis not a bad spot haha, headin up to jason myself Tomorrow for hids
Cheers lad
Fuckin beautiful and as said above I wouldn't go putting on fenders but I suppose no harm in seeing what they'd look like
Completely off topic I actually have your old golf, I have her almost a year but I've always wondered what that switch under the heaters is for , have you any idea or was it put in by the lad after you?
Haha no way i was mad looking on donedeal for it the last year to see where it went, last i seen it was in mayo, that switch is for the foglights if its the silver flick down one, there was no other switch there put if you lob up a pic it will refresh my memory, Hope she is treating you well i remeber looking at it driving away with the new owner it looked so bad ass i was going to ring him up and buy it back LOL.
Oh yes that's what I thought it was for but the lad who had it after you must have disconnected em
I wanted to buy it off you when you had it but couldn't scrape the cash together , but ya I bought it off the lad in mayo in December last year , he was complete wanker and plastered stickers on her but I got rid of them
I love the car but on my birthday last year some spastic in a truck side swiped her , he didn't do much damage like nothing structural at all but I couldn't afford to put her back together for a while but have been building her back up and was driving her last week again finally :D she's in good hands anyway ;)
Oh and is it you that is with the mcg autostyling crowd or the last lads?
ya that was me with MCG, dont work for them or that just sent the picture into him and he uses it for promo. shit i sold that awful cheap as i was leaving for Oz about 3 weeks later or that you should have got onto me i would als strike a deal for a member, sold it to a guy in athlone. thats a bolox about the truck lad, if you are looking for a paint match or that its dragon green,
heres a few pics i found of it when i had it if you are looking of any, i know i did a build thread somewhere, too

Fuck me that's so cool to see :D ill fire some pics up there tonight when I'm home from work ....I thought twas dragon green aright but it seems to be too dark a shade ...cause I flared the arches and had to spray them .....I know I'm hi jacking your thread big time here but its brilliant to hear and see some stuff about it cause the last lad who had it wad a tool but ill just ask how come the back axel is offset , there's way more poke on the passenger side , had she gotten a new quarter panel and was it you that took off the splitter , any chance u still have it if u did ? :o
ah thats no bother, dunno about that one i only noticed the time i put the wheels on it and brought it to my mate who reckoned it got a new quater at some stage and it was spurious and not a great fit as everything underneath was straight and it was tracking straight, so all i could do was lob a i think it was a 15mm spacer on the driver side to even it out,is the spacer still on her? ha the first drive out the road the splitter fell off and i drove over the driver side one, i repaired it its still somewhere i can dig it out but i cannot remeber the condition it was in.
Ya I was thinking that cause in fairness she's a good straight car so it had me confused but nope someone took that spacer , I must get one for her to even it out , looks a bit funny with one arch flared :p and there's only one of those yokes to change the centre bore left on her ( I cant think of the name if them) :rolleyes: if you could dig it out I'd appreciate it cause I'd more than likely take it , twud really finish her off and I can't afford a new one , especially cause lads down round here would just nick the splitter :rolleyes:
you mean the spigot rings LOL ya they where all on them too had to buy them and i think i through a extra one or two and a few other bits in the boot when i sold it. those xxr's came off Eric o Sullivan's ae86 so there is a bit of history in them LOL http://www.wreckedmagazine.com/blog/...86-500x375.jpg i can defiantly dig it out for ya mate no bother and ill get pictures onto ya at worst you can text screw it on :)
i cant remeber if it was exactly 15mm you might need to double check i tryed a few on until it looked right you might need to do the same.
all that car needed was a radio and speakers when i sold it, had some laugh driving it about lol
beautiful car dude i love the S15 such a cracking car
fair play for having this one looking so sweet :)

so atm im just waiting on my bride cushions so i can fit my low max seats back on, and finish triming the interior.
then it looks like i will be getting 30mm overfenders and fettling them to about 60mm to cover the wheels with no camber. will end up looking like this a bit but better ;)
http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/2739/7c4s1353.jpg
then just get my 30mm front wings from epracing when they are in then a full respray :)
then hid's and pressed plates :)
great work man..love it....have a good mate in sligo that will do a full respray and any other custom bodywork if ya need it...i can show ya some of the cars he's done also...realyy high standard and well priced....he's doing my bay in the next few weeks also
meet you there sunday night between the rambling house and the bishop's bend was in the woman's golf 1hid 1 normal light ha . looked fukn super meetin it in the dark leave the nice car alone and not overfender it :D
ha i remeber seeing something with one hid alright haha, ah i have to do something with the rear its sound on the road but backed it into the shed and only 2/3 of the tyre was making a mark on the floor, know it looks class but ill be going through tyres like socks, trust me if it dont look right i wont do it :P other option is shorten the rlca's and i cant find a off the shelf kit that dose it and i couldnt be arsed getting the arms cut and shortened.
so i finally got my cushions back :) meaning i got to stick in my low max's ;)

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...115_163651.jpg
so i think next will bw a double din radio some red gauges and a new steering wheel :P might fit my harnesses also and buy a camera LOL
Are the bridey's the real deal??
I wouldnt have gone retrimming them if i thought they where ;)
so finally bit the bullet and bought some over-fenders, i need 50-60mm, but i think any 50mm overs look bulgey and shite, the only exception is the wisesquare overfenders
http://images.engineeredtoslide.com/...13-560x747.jpg
i like the way the lil pull around the wheel stops the whole wing being pushed out.
but you can see the problem with them that grove that comes out and goes along the bumper looks daft,
so i decided to get 30mm overs off drive n style, and cut and achieve the pulled look around the wheel myself,
so set the wheels to about 1 deg negative camber as opposed to the usual 5 and test fitted the wings,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...Untitled-8.jpg
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1317.jpg
took them off and started marking out for cutting
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...6/IMAG1315.jpg
trying to work out the right angle of the slope and this is the best photo i can find :/ there is going to be alot of trial and error.
