Is it going to be white, or are you breaking out the famous Nightmare's mask-o-matic for some stylish two tone racy graphics?

I mean the estate is a lor better not when it started out it wasn't remember where it started out a hand painted stockish old car they all have to start somewhere ;D   it all depends on what your looking at in a car though the golf is used as a daily working car so needs to remain practical where as the estate was built purely for fun so it wouldn't be a fair comparison . i'm hopeing the golf will look as good as I think it will and will definatly stand out out in a crowd but do it without being at all in your face which is the exact right mix for a daily |

Hit it with the Grinder mate I`ll get a new one sorted for it And a bit of Background to the Syncro...... My other half Jane, spends the winter in Meribel in the French alps so we have had a Blue syncro for the last 4 years, which had a hard time and was losing the battle against ferrous oxide, although it was mechanically excellent ;D There is nothing else of this size that will do the job as well Its a Hatch that will take 4 people and all their skis/boards inside and its 4 wheel drive ;D It gets fitted with snow tyres and never needs chains, even in 9" of fresh snow ;D I had bought a Fully ported head and decent cam for it, but that will need a bit of work before it can be fitted. It has a weber carb and a Decent stainless system, and it has been fully overhauled underneath by Diff while I was out in Japan New Dampers and top mounts all round, cv boots, couple of joints, full service, all belts and fluids changed etc so its good for a few winters yet ;D Basically the shell is Mint underneath and all the arches etc so I wanted to just tidy up the snotechipped scabby bits when Nightmares kindly offered to paint the whole thing for me ;D ;D With the full respray, Jane chose the colour scheme she wanted and it should look Very cool ;D It wont be Slammed on a set of ats`s/zenders etc its a working vehicle so will be standard height and rolling on steels and snow tyres but it will do the job its designed for Oh and it has a full compliment of BFO Cibies on it for winter as well, which you really need coming down the mountain at night Has some good sounds and heated seats inside so its perfect for Jane, and with the cool paintwork outside I think it`ll stand out just nicely ;D |

Sounds awesome Dom, this is the real daily 4x4 fix isnt it. not swanning around in Luxury X5's and stuff just cos! blasting through the slimey/cold stuff in a Golf sounds like the win to me. Cant wait to see what nightmares and the director comes up with... |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Top grammar tips!

(As the one in the pics is white ;D) Sorry 2 b fick Yep blue one was traded in against the white one, which has only done 48,000 miles........ Blue one will live again I think as it now belongs to John with the Berg Cup style Turbo VR6 powered Mk1 convertible "Hardtop" |
