Thanks jv
Owned the car for about 2 months now, just been too busy with work to post about it.
It's a P reg Gti 16v rocking close to 185k on the clocks. She came with a stack of history including receipts for a miltek exhaust with sports cat and a superchip!! Yet to get the car onto a rolling road, but it's rapid to say the least. It also came with some 17" Oz alloy wheels and a rather dodgy lowering job on cut springs
So far, the only work that we've done to it is replacing the rubber with 4 new toyo's, replaced the lower arms and track rod ends and fitted some ICE.
Future plans are just to tidy the car up, it needs 2 new front wings, a new n/s passenger door and a n/s rear quarter panel, those are the only bits on the car that are rusty. The underside isn't spotless but it's solid with no rust on the sills. The interior needs a bit of a lift, the headliner is dropping, there are scratches on the dash, gear gaiter is worn but for the 650 we paid for it we can't expect perfection. At some point I've want to get a leather interior but that's a long way off.
But before all of that it's got to get through the MOT. Its booked in for a service and MOT in about 45 mins. I'll post up how it got on later.
P.s pics will have to wait for a few days as I can't upload from my girlfriends ipad
