Hi people im new to this forum...
i started my mk2 project when i was 16 now im 18 and the car has come a long long way.
its been through many different stages and im now happy with where i have it at the moment
the car started life as a matte black 1.3 dropped on black borbet As. back then i thought it was low lol :embarassed:

I liked the look of the jetta front and got two jetta fronts for £30 so snapped it up..
(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad260/e30gore/P6160411.jpg)
i bought the car in may after 2 months of owning it the matte finish just started to annoy me so booked it in for a respray at my uncles garage in leicester
(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad260/e30gore/P7130606.jpg)
whilst stripping the car we found this

(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad260/e30gore/P7060582.jpg)
the previous owner had used loads of filler to hold the arches on and cut of the metal arches to fit the 9s out back....
:(
so then i done this
(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad260/e30gore/P7130597.jpg)
:D
so now the arches got welded on we decided on the colour which will, be revealed later.
the car was in the garage for 6 months and this is where the life of this mk2 changed .

(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad260/e30gore/P7140639.jpg)
we wanted the arches to be wide and accomodate the 9j without plastic arch kit so we did this, we also wanted the arch to look more modern
from this

Not as bad ad you may think. £1400 for a MK3 1.6 with an ABF lump & brakes, lowered, "sports exhaust" and exterior modifications.
Through HY Performance.
19 even cheaper.
