Well my long awaited 2 years of driving has finally arrived and with it comes a drop in insurance therfore i thought i would treat myself to a new car, I found this car fairly close to me so last night i drove up and bought it.











And so today the cleaning began







I plan to tidy some of the small bits up first to ruturn it to its former glory then begin modifying it to my taste

Any comments and ideas welcome.

After owning the car for 2 weeks now i finally got it checked out properly the only problems found are; the bearings on the back axle have failed, Needs 2 new drive shafts, and 2 new droplinks.

So im still quite pleased with the car and i will hopefully get it back on the road by the end of the week when i plan to start changing its appearance with black or dark grey wheels, mud guards, standard aeriel, and possibly tint the head lights

Any coments and ideas welcome

Havent updated in a while as i havent had a lot of spare cash for big changes on my car, However i have

Replaced the cracked tail light
Fitted it with the standard ariel
Fixed the central locking

I have changed the wheels too but im not too sure if i like them or not but i got them for nothing and they have new good quality tyres on them so...I couldnt really say no




There is also a GTI interior to go in the car but its in very poor condition, Its getting re covered when i have the money.







Also got my Saxp stickers today



Honest opinions welcome

Not a huge update but every little helps

Since last time i have shot blasted and painted the rockercover posi blue.
Painted and fitted a towing eye cover,
Painted front grill black with grey shevrons
and put the gti leathers in to be recovered.

Was out enjoying the sun today in my car and decided to stop and get a few pictures.











I also have mirror caps painted and ready to go once i have painted the bump strips and mirrors black.
I also plan to tint/buy the front and rear lights and get my hands n a set of Black vts wheels

Honest opinions welcome as always

Thanks, They do sound good like, its addictive hahaha

Yeah not a big fan of the wheels. I only put them on as i was desperate for tyres and was rather short of cash at the time so i picked these up for nothing with brand new tyres on them. I am looking for a decent set of vts wheels but the search has been unsuccessful so far.

Im also planning on getting it lowered by the end of the month to
