Storm Grey mk3 project

[Adezmk3]

I bought this GTI not to long ago and have got an MOT on it now. It lacks tax and insurance though so is sitting on a sorn behind a tree until July when I start my new job



The grey shades look different which I am a bit annoyed about!

In the mean time I have been collecting parts I have spotted cheap to spruce it up a bit. The list is as follows:

- full sound system of 6 good speakers, 2 subs, headunit and 2 amps (a 4 channel and a 2 channel) I know nothing about using amps to power speakers/subs at the present so will certainly have a few questions about wiring it up!

- clear hella rear lights

- angel eyes/mk4 type headlights

- vr6 splitter

- full black leather interior with rear head rests

- headlight protectors

- front grill with fogs

The plan is to fully service the car once I have driven it for a few weeks to check its general mechanical well being and then generally do things bit by bit to try and get it near mechanically perfect.

I noticed on the way to the mot gear changing is quite stiff, could this be the linkage as it has been sat for a year? and the clutch might be nearing the end of its life. I will put fresh gearbox oil in as soon as I have tested all the gears out properly on a long drive.

Cheers

Good base for a project in that colour they always look nice with subtle mods.

Pretty minor update, got round to the car the other day, pumped the tyres up and gave it a quick clean. Here's a slightly better picture. I want shadys old wheels!
3 weeks or so now till exams over and I can get insured and stuck in with this car. I can't wait!



Also this may be storm grey, fook knows, it looks metallic when your with it. The sticker is missing from the boot and I haven't got round to asking VW

Buffs up quite nicely that  as said before this colour can look ace when done properly.

They would have looked smart on your car mate, from what i gather though they have already been sold!

My old valver was grey with different shades, I feel your pain. 

Turned out my car had been hit from the front at some point (no record of it though).

Actually, rear offside quarter panel and bootlid matched.
