Quite a transformation from when you first got it.  Good work dude.

I really like the contrasting black and white front end.

It's crying out for some new number plates though.

Big update time!

I picked up a white 3 door TDI last weekend, yep the exact same car but with a TDI engine, its also much better condition inside and out

It drives really nice and is alot quicker than the 1.4, i've done the Evry mod so its got a bit more power now too

i will be swapping all of the bits over from the 1.4 in the next couple of weeks and then the 1.4 will be sold as a pretty much standard car

the TDI



1.4 left, TDI right



began swapping the coilovers onto the TDI this weekend, although a rusty and rounded suspension bolt means i cant get the front suspension off the TDI yet

Standard Vs coilovers



Rear lowered, front standards stuck on... this is how its sitting atm

Yes! i like this! :cool:

Best way to do it too, swap everything over! instead of the old 'how can i do an engine swap' question.. blah blah blah! :grin:

Will you be making it almost identical except with a TDI engine?
