So, here we have an ALMOST standard 106 GTi. I picked it up for around £800 a month ago, needing a new gearbox. Unfortunately once I changed the gearbox I then found it needed a clutch too.

Today when trying fitting the clutch I found out I had been sent the wrong clutch by CarParts4Less. b****cks Of course I didn't check the parts BEFORE getting the gearbox off the car, that would be silly of me :wobble:

I've bought it due to feeling a bit s**tty as of late, and as some of you know I had a couple of Saxo VTS' before. I'm hoping having this to go out and have fun in will cheer me up a bit :)

After it's got a clutch on it, I'll be insuring it and going for a drive up the penines!

A few jobs need doing though, time for a list
* rear bumper paint missing
* interior carpet coming away from edge near glove box (common)
* drivers seat bolster wear (hoping to get a die kit)
* brakes are dismal, I think a 306 brake upgrade is needed :)
* few little bits to tidy up here and there, the engine bay needs some TLC!
* exhaust blowing slightly

On the last point though, I got under the car obviously when doing the clutch, only to find a PIPER sports cat exhaust system! So a bit of good news, they're worth quite a bit.

Thanks for reading

Well probably because it's just a standard 106 GTI with an exhaust.
Still looks nice though.
