yeah its me! couldn't tell you what the whole thing cost. i never worked it out, i think it might depress me! but i've done all the work myself which saved me a fortune and am pretty good at buying and selling to keep my ass out of debt. i bought a set of electric recaro's and trimmed them myself, along with the rest of the interior.
thanks for the nice comments! :P

MInes not to bad tbh, certainly a lot better than my old escort i must say now that was very expensive to keep running.
Fuel well i get 65miles to a tenner of optimax and 200 miles to 30 quid of optimax so its not to bad :D

nope not a mechanic i just learnt on my car. never really was 'into' cars until i got my golf. the way i looked at it was, i've got common sense, logic and am pretty practical. if you take something off in a specific order, it has to go back on in that order. plus i think i'm tight! i figured if i did something myself i save the labour charges if i get it wrong i'll then pay to get it put right.
i started with easy stuff and never had a problem so got more confident. at the end of the day its nuts and bolts, if you think about it and have a haynes manual or something to steer you in the right direction there SHOULDN'T be too much that can go wrong.....
