nice one ta jv!! :smiley:
hi all
This is my small but big project gti on the cheap mainly cause the car itself only cost 450 quid off ebay in October and its now keep me busy on weekends making all the little things that was wrong with it right!
The first thing I sorted was the rear windows kept dropping with the forums help I found a how to guide and quickly sorted that till I can find two new replacement doors to go on…the second thing I sorted was a full service and cam belt and water pump change luckily for the money the car had full vw service history up to 125k and then it was a local garage to the second owner.
My plans are as follows
Fit Vento front which is sitting in my hall way (someway get rid of the snow pls)
Mop the whole car bring the paint work back up as it is flat
Get the rust on the door seal sorted
Fit my audi pepperpots also sitting in my hall waiting to be painted
Sort some coilovers as its just been heavily lowered at the mo
Source a new gti interior which I may of found fingers crossed
Thanks again to guys on ere I also have all new disc and pads all round on the way to me hopefully turn up today to fit.
And also a few other little mods but im keeping them to my chest for now
Oh and find a funky baby seat as the reason I bought a 5 door is my mrs is expecting in june and I wanted a cool family car as she now has a A3 tdi…
Pics to follow later on….

When you want to add a picture, use the "Insert Image" button above the smilies, and then paste the Photobucket link from the img src code, that ends with ".jpg" between the img tags.

Nice GTI, by the way :)

Not wishing to sound like a c**t but shouldn't you have taken the wheel off to spray it? I mean you've gone and sprayed your brakes!

yeah but ive just fitted new tyres new uprated disc pads all round so they wont be off for a while and its easier to spray em on the car and u can turn them around plus first time i put the brakes off it cleaned all the paint off the disc i had already painted my caplier silver.
