yay... my own project thread... o.k well i`ll start with the story...
it all started when i went to my uncles brother in laws house to fit a shower and saw this golf parked in the drive, it kinda took my fancy.
 i did ask, "whos car is that then"... He said "Why you Fbeeping rev head"..
anyway, when i spoke to karl, (the golfs previous owner) i said to him, let me know if you ever want to sell that, its a nice looking car.
 months went by until one day i had a phone call saying "jamie theres a golf in somerfield car park for you, karl said come and get the keys, the wheel bearing has gone". wow, a free car.. well, i was quite happy about this, so off i went to collect the keys.
  yes, the car has had a few things wrong with it which i have fixed straight away and it has never broken down on me.
so far my list of mods are..
 lowered 50mm on an ebay jamex kit.  :lipsrsealed: :shocked:
 ported throttle bodie.
 modified airbox.
 omp panel filter.
 chrome plated dails.. :rolleyes:
 drilled and grooved discs with mintex extreme pads..
 darkened and tinted headlamps... :cool:
 those lower bumper vents from bored welsh lad..
 umm... matt blacked badges..
 Series 2 RS turbo Recaro`s welded to mk3 subframes.. (they hold you in much better) :smiley:
 powerflow stainless cat back system, minus the suitcase box.
 and a vanillaroma magic tree...
i didnt take any pics while doing these mods as i had no project post to post them in at the time, though i will take some pics soon and get them posted...

the blue tail lights were removed as they wernt to my taste and i now have standard gti lights but the amber indicator bits have been tinted red. the exhaust has also been fitted.

today i molested the front end of my car.
i added a badgeless grill and sprayed to match the original paintwork. the slats were sprayed matt black to give more of a factory look.

also last week i started to french the tailgate. not finished yet, i will wait untill i have the paint to do it so i can give the car a good blow over with the spray gun.
