Project Started!
« on: 21 January 2011, 16:51 »
Hey all! As some of you may know, I'm doing a full gti conversion on my missus car this weekend.
Been on it since half 9 this morning and both engines are ready to come out first thing tomorrow! Pretty chuffed with myself so far! Then all I've gotta do is swap the axle and subframe then swap the ABS unit/pipes.
I do have pictures but I'm not sure how to put them on a post as of yet so if anyone wants to see them please help me lol!

Cheers, Mike

No lol its a rare grey, well ive never seen it before anyways! And cant find a paint code for it anywhere!
The non-gti is ending up with the vento front ultimately and its going to look AWESOME!!

Maybe it isn't a genuine VW colour then and has been resprayed in in it's previous ownership?
