gti gaz mk 3 gti ongoing

[gti gaz]

ok so hear we have my red mk 3 8 valve gti owned for about 3 years
was my daily so was kept kinda standard for ages went into my garage after clutch started to slip in march 2011
recently moved house and have a garage with loads more  space to give it a much needed make over.

so a couple of pictures of it in january 2010





managed to get a right bargin ok ebay not so long ago tuning art coillies, full milltec with de cat, 2 corbeau forza sport 2000s{which i need to find road legal runners for}, strut brace, fuel pump and sender, dizzys, hall sensor, engine wiring loom, and a few other bits all for £225 was well chuffed as you can imangine.


so knew i needed new wings as the old ones had some rot so they came off and found this



am going to treat this for now as its not that bad but will weld a plate in there as the other side is the same

so coillies fitted front
 


rear



centre excuse the mud still not cleaned it since bringing it hear live near a famr now




so quite low but not over the top bit bumpy in cornwall  and dont fancy popping a hole in my sump

jobs still to do fit seats [when i can find road legal runners] PLEASE HELP!!
fit strut brace, fit new sender as mine is s**t, oping to fit milltec next weekend,
order new wings, then start a new list of parts clutch ect ect.

the biggest problem i have is to decide what to do with the car when its all done put it on the road and use as a weekend car or use it as a weekend car and hill climb it as i have 3 kids money is quite tight so am giving myself till run to the sun 2013 to get this finished as live 10 min drive away from newquay seams the right thing to do.

Ideas very welcome, and if anyone knows ware or how i can get hold of some road legal runners for the seats would be wicked as cant find any my self as of yet.
