Right here we go! little background i have been looking for a project car for a little while. At first i thought i would get a mk2 with 2.016v then 1.8t but now i have opted for the old 2.9vr6 ploy. I have decided to do this because of cash to bhp ratio lol plus the sound is awsome! so on my search to find a good shell i have seen alot of good cars but tbh i wanted to take the seats engine and alot of things off the cars that i have seen so there was little point in buying a good shelled mk2 for 1500. and just when i thought the project wasn't gonna happen i got told about the lads from dubshack. gave them a call and by chance my luck was in and managed to secure a mk2 8v gti without an engine resprayed in corrado purple with a few mods for a very reasonable price
cheers lads!
so after alot of jumping and shouting for joy i decided to get down to business. i had a chat with a few mates looked through a few magazines and decided what i wanted and asked a person on edition38 to photoshop my car for me and this is how it should look when it comes out of the spay shop.
right so with my photoshop in hand and a wad of cash in my hand. me and my mate Gary take the 2hr 10 min journey from my house to dubshack(3hrs my arse AA route planner) on wed the 11th of January 2006. get there and see warren co owner of dub shack and his fookin big dog
anyways we get down chatting to business Darren other co owner comes in and we work the things out that i want to be done to my car.
