Re: My Ginster Mk3 Build

Again, not much of an update, but i got a nice package in the mail today. My euro rubstrips from Juul have arrived! Slapped them on with tape and stuff. Also, test fit the fender flares i got a long time ago... gonna look mad when i get the side skirts and Volvo lip back on.

Looking great, im assuming you're going to run sideskirts? The opticwerks ones would look good!

Re: My Ginster Mk3 Build

Well, today I riveted on my flares, rubstrips and sideskirts. This pretty much marks the end of the more major updates, gonna enjoy the car for what it is for now, maybe I'll get a new project.. finish it, then tear my car apart again and build it from ground up someday.

Thanks everyone for following me along the journey while motivating and supporting me! I realize now as I type that Mr. Kujiwara is the only person whose ever seen this car in person... oops.
Without further adieu, pics!







And a reminder of what she once was... I cant believe its the same car.





Before



And now after!



Thanks again everyone! Stay tuned for more of those little touches that makes my car mine

EDIT: oh and by the way, i friggen love that Volvo lip!

Maybe focus in getting your LICENCE so you can actually enjoy the car


All so agree that I'm not really digging the current wheels. I think they need to be smaller with some more lows.

Re: My Ginster Mk3

Agree on the wheels. Just don't look right on the car!

Re: My Ginster Mk3

Finished dericing car, still gets flamed.

Re: My Ginster Mk3

Not flaming. Love everything that's been done to the car however the wheels/ride height do not do the rest of the car justice IMO!

yeah yeah... shutup EdoJerk! Haha

Yikes, looks like TT 6-spokes arnt a fan favourite :P
Well, I for one love em, way better than my curbed, flaking, scratched up and beat to **** Monicas. The main reason i got a new set of 17s was so i could use my new tires from the Monicas... Maybe when the tires wear out ill think about new wheels but for now, and the near future, im more than happy with them. Plus, i feel they fit more with the motorsport look i was going for. Now that the flares are on though i will be dropping the car a bit, hopefully thatll pull thing together a little better.

Saw blades that arnt saw blades? Seems a little Mk1/2 to me.. i generally like 5/6 spoke wheels. What is it that throws you off on the wheels? Size? Fitment? My ride height? Colour?

Re: My Ginster Mk3

I don't realy mean to bash the car because I like how you've de re-riced it and done some nice work, but my preference would be smaller wheels, lower ride height (not neccesarilly slammed). Maybe if you paint the center cap it would look nicer. It just kinda stick out

Those won't work. VR6 is 5x100.
