it is really tidy and has had a full respray in the last couple of years, it's a 1.6 with 120k on the clock
plan is to run this while i'm getting the mk2 on the road then have the mk2 as a weekend car :)
needs a few bits:
gearbox mount
drivers window regulator
oil and filter change
new plugs
new drivers door handle and lock (already have this)
wheels need refurbing
comments welcome :)

Been a storm grey 5dr gets a thumbs up from me. :afro:

so yesterday i cracked on with getting her back into fighting form! :D
first off was a good old service, first i got rid of this tired old air filter...

for a shiny new one i found laying in my garage :P

then i changed oil, oil filter, plugs and sump plug... plugs were a b!tch to do as it is a crossflow head and can only just do it without removing the inlet!
then i changed the gearbox mount, which was actually in two pieces! :sick:
then next was to replace the drivers electric window regulator and door handle and lock...

the muppets at gsf had given me a manual one so i had to drive back to get it exhanged with no doorcard and wood holding the window up aha

then i swapped my mk2 wheels onto her as i hated the dare rs especially in black... then i went to wind the coilies right down but the front passenger lock ring was seized so next weekend i will be removing the helpers to get extra lows :D
then got a few snaps of her clean :)

the spoiler on it is one given to my sister by the previous owner, it is meant to sit on the rear screen almost like a sunstrip but i thought i'd turn some heads by wedging it between the bootlid for the meet, have removed it since aha

haha, wondered what it was.. :)
