94 D-turbo project!

[underground375]

Hi all time to start a thread on here. Ive already done a lot of work to the car but heres a few pictures from when I first had her.

   
   
   
   
   
   

So I started buying the trusty old filler.

that 106!

real tidy diablo also! nice 2 car setup there!

[underground375]

That was my brothers old one. He stripped and rebuilt the hole thing. Just to sell it on

[Chris_90]

ooooo sundance 106 very nice....... 306 aint to bad either

[underground375]

By this time I was getting bored with the body work so fitted my FMIC

   
   

Then back to the body work!

   
   

So you kinda get the idea that the car was abit of a shed. After buying and more buying. The car sit like this today.

   
   

Next on my list, finish the VRS rear beam and get it fitted, repaint the cyclones, finish inner doors, vinyl wrapping. and spray interior bits and bobs. Will be updating this thread all the time so keep a eye out.

[ginge191]

So.. you painted the diablo, white?

[underground375]

Its in primer atm, there's not many gloss colours to have, so white it was, as i've already had a black DT before

[Sambarker]

What's a VRS rear beam?

[sam]

Probably a vts beam I guess

[underground375]

My cr*p spelling lol, meant to say VTS.

[Sambarker]

Lol thought you were fitting a skoda rear beam.
That would be a new one!

[underground375]

[Matt]

Get the car painted! I also have a ph1 white grill under the bed if you want a spare

[underground375]

Thanks, if I have to look at another grill again ill cry, ive still got to repaint the hockey sticks. So more messing around with the damn grill! Just finishing off the second caliper, then off to get the hand brake cables Wednesday. So looking to get I ton next weekend.

Will be booking the paint job at the end of the month

---

This is what the beam looked like when I had it, pretty bad but is a sound beam. So was worth the time and effort.

   

Sprayed this little bit of trim black to, every small detail count in this project.

   

While I was at it I installed to 30cm led strip in the boot, but my camera doesn't pick them up propley.

   

[underground375]

Well got bored again as I always do so been busy spraying more interior bits

   

Didn't take long which is a first for me so I moved onto the ph3 rear spoiler

   


Finished off by spraying my D-turbo badge yet to think where to put it

   

Will be doing the tail gate and getting the beam on next

[underground375]

Another update, ay you peeps lucky .

Fitted my sprayed bits first thing today, I must say it realy changes the interior of the car!!






Also fitted my leather stitched gear knob, out of a 406

Next up I was thinking about buying the gti boot trim but if I did get my hands on one it will probley be marked up and showing it age. So I decided to do this insed.





I will be doing the hole boot in the near future.

And to finish for today I fitted and smoked my side repeaters, took a while to cut out the larger hole for these to fit.



Another update soon

---

As my brother has just informed me I have fitted the side repeaters the wrong way round, crap!!!

[underground375]

Time for a update, will update again in the morning with some over all pictures of the car as it stands!!

First up,

Sprayed my tail gate finally



Took a while to wire in the ph3 loom but about a hour or so later and a role of electrical tape it was finaly finished.

Next up my leather stitched steering wheel.





Very nice!!!

The same day I through I would have a good at changing the beams over, took a while to get the break pipes off, had to use mole grips in the end. =\



Old beam off and stripped and put on the new beam.





All on and looking smart, also put new copper break lines on!!! the break fluid was discoloured and mancky, so new stuff go put in

The new ride height at least 30mm drop,



It has since settled after taking the picture so I will upload the finishing picture after I take them tomo,

[underground375]

Havant been updating for a while, but I reckon with the amount of work going on with the car I should start getting this thread going again. but for now a few pic's of what ive been buying, (Untill tomorrow)

Most of you should no ive been doing a ph1 to ph3 conversion, well its going well.



Hockey stick don't line up nor did the inner arches so I had to go and buy these!





They will soon be sanded and in primer, next up after thinking if they did a pure black carpet to replace my crapy grey one. Well I found one.



No point in stripping my mix match interior just to fit that. So today I picked up this very fine example of a gti half lever interior.





Only ware on the hole interior is this little bit!



Only he colour has gone! No rips! So will be getting a die kit off ebay to sort this out asap!.

Will update again tomo

[Piggy]

getting there

[Jethro]

Sweet interior, and nice dt. Not bad in white

[underground375]

Yup coming along nicely, will upload some pictures later.

The black carpet didn't fit. bit gutted but I will keep a eye out for a blue one if any come about. If not ill try and get me a standard grey one in good condition

[underground375]

Time for another update. WAs my 24th birthday last Thursday so I had a few goodies for the car! As you do.

First up I got my bonnet in primer finally!



Also got me a set of pressed plates which you maybe able to tell from that picture!

Next up I got a set of G3 wind deflectors.



Very nice!

While I was at It I fort I would install my white lockwood dials. My car threme is white black and blue, so while I was at it I painted my needles.





Last up for now, my new fitted interior.





Update soon

---

Sorry about the poor few pictures, it was raining hard and I didn't wont to get wet

[Jethro]

Looking good!

[underground375]

Update!

While we had good weather today i decided to have a good at fitting my new wings.







I sanded them down ready for paint, but time was pushing on so i moved onto the other side.



Typical rotten inner arch mount.

Also sanding that one down.


Anyway i ran out of time so i quickly put it back together and headed off. Mind the misses in the pictures. (She was in a happy mood for some reason)
