Just browsing the forum and thought I'd add to this.  I have a build thread on here, but wanted to see the list of work carried out on here for myself if nothing else.

Bought the car with 12 months MOT and 6 months tax.

Bought and fitted coilovers on all four corners
Black grill badge
Back to black plastic treatment
Crystal clear indicators and fogs for the front
Crystal clear side repeaters
Lamin-X red tint for rear lights
New Gear knob (although will be changing this again soon)
Wolfsburg heater dials
Aftermarket Pioneer headunit
New Platinum spark plugs
Oil Filter change
Oil change
K&N panel filter (Going to drill out the airbox soon enough too)


Over the next week or two:
New custom stainless exhaust system
Black Vinyl Wrap roof
Better CD player with iPod function
Uprated speakers in all the doors
Leather (maybe heated) interior
Black headliner
Custom dials
Replace all the green interior lights with another colour
Banded Steels.

Haven't done too much to it, but as the car had been owned by a VW employee all of its life and had been looked after there isn't too much to do.  I need to replace a wing mirror at some point and also find a bit of trim that is missing, but it's doing really very well.

oh so much....  Very tidy red mk3 8v (AGG) purchased 2 years ago @ Easter.  In vaguely chronological order:

Nice Sony MP3 stereo
plugs, wires, dizzy arm & cap
CTS, IAT
O2 sensor
Oil temp sensor in the block
New front wings (rusty)
removed the toad alarm :-)
New exhaust back box
New crank sensor
New door lock (drivers) and OS passengers
Cambelt and tensioner
oil & filter change
two engine mounts (gearbox and front)
new central locking pump
added headlight levelers (previous owner had changed to mk4 style, and not kept the adjusters...  Why?)

I think thats it.  Generally happy with it - and it looks great.

Oh, and much cleaning and polishing
