seeing as relatively new here... what does everyone have planned?
Myself plans not too much after my wheels and coilovers arrive (if ever)- so my list:
-wheels
-coilovers
-new chrome single lamp grille (on its way too)
-respray
-blue mohair hood
-maybe a 20vt engine in time if its worth it

Hmmmmmmmmmm.. Planned for the long run, as I'm pretty broke at the mo'! :'( :'(
Engine (unsure what, maybe 2.0 16v, although would like G60 if I can stretch to it! [20v T is TOO expensive for me!!])
Respray (Maybe Audi RS blue or whatever it's called.. Or silver) :-\
Maybe the small chrome bumpers.. sivler style grill, get rid of the old 'brow.. But I dunno
That's about it me thinks!

Yeah I've been looking into it and I reckon I'll go for the Ibiza. It appears to be a cheaper version of the Polo and there are far more 5 door models around.
Just got to put a new MOT on the Audi and it'll be up for sale, next week I expect.

The sporty Seats are proper nice!! There's a couple of nice Leons round where I live 8)

i thought you said you were keeping it standard?
-
Well this time ive really gone and done it! Picked up a '79 GTI with suntop (avalible on ebay by the way) ;D but the floor let in more air than the roof :(
So not to be beaten i found myself an '82 Rabbit Diesel (No oil burning jokes!) from california 8)
Sold my mk2 gti to cover the respray cost, stripped it down, converted it to right hand drive and now after 4 months work is off the spray shop. Ive chosen an interesting colour to say the least keeping it under wraps until VW Action which it will hopefully be ready for. Old skool look with chrome and low. Unsure about rims. Dont know if i should go with 15" wolfrace octanes to add a hint of new or go for my 14"tear drops mirror polished ??? What do ya think
-
The plans for my cab are:
Leather retrim in grey hide!
A new grey monhair hood with new inner lining!
