Blimey: you've soaked up a fair bit of abuse on this thread with very good grace: well done! You are a Gentleman Sir! :smiley:

Cars are a personal thing and good for you for building it how you want it: it's your car after all.

For what it's worth, I like to see the sort of cosmetic custom mods you're trying out. I hear what others are saying about safety but it could have been said in a friendlier way.

Long live The Beast!  :grin:

Very good to see that you have set up a build thread, nice to see how much work you actually put in to it. Everyone has their own prefs as to what mk2's should look like and i like yours, like it was said before if all of us where rolling around in the same it would be boring.
Nice to see DH is back to his old ways of giving good advise in his own way  :laugh: :laugh:

Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing it at the next meet.

thanks
i should be able to make the meet aslong as nothing comes up :grin:
i dont think my car wanted to go to the last one.i snapped a cv a few days before.and the other side went a couple of days later :rolleyes: all good now,just need to replace an inner cv boot and paint a few bits under the car before it starts corroding.
im also looking at bike carbs and a gti cam so it might get an upgrade soon :evil:
