Default Willsy's 309 GTi - Latest update 04/09/2018

New project begins, saw this 309 GTi listed locally and just had to buy it, an hour later and the bloke had kindly delivered it to my house.

Essentially it's bloody filthy and needs a fair bit of tlc but it is still original in form. I'm owner number 4 and it's on 90,000 miles

Pics as it arrived

















This'll be more of a challenge than the AX and the XSi

As with my previous 2 projects everything done will be with the intention to restore it to its former glory.

A very rare car nowadays, looks like a little bit more work to get right but that's part of the fun! Good luck with it

Bit of time spent on the GTi this evening before it got dark. My only aim being to finish getting the carpet out as the drivers side of the carpet was literally swimming, I had feared the worst for floor pan condition however I think it's been lucky. I'm sure the sunroof is the culprit with the drainage all blocked with foliage

Rear drivers side footwell


Front drivers side footwell needs some welding doing, both subframe bolts were badly corroded which I feared rounding off, the inside one snapped away from the mount and the outside one will be removed and replaced


The carpet is in a horrific state. It's not excessively worn though so I'll see if it'll clean up with the wet vac


All in all nothing dramatic so far
