This is my latest purchase ,shes a 97 2L 8valve with 98000 on the clock (irish car so only a minor few small rusty bits), it needs a drivers seat and 1 of the headlight lenses has a crack in it, apart from that its grand, tight enough, drives well, needs the front wheels balanced and tracking done (now done), it has a full Miltek exhaust and K&N cone filter which combined give a lovely rumble, cross drilled and grooved discs all round im told they are VR6 brakes but i dont know, i think the wheels are S3 reps(someone correct me), a nice pioneer stereo and 4 JBL speakers, i have german plates to fit aswell, all in all im happy.....moreover the missus likes it aswell....so happy out......comments welcome....

thanks for looking, more to follow

just gave it a quick wash, it needs a bloody good cut and wax, can anyone reccomend a product to restore the plastics, i dont really want to go at them with a heat gun as i wouldnt trust myself not to melt or scorch them
