project GTI
« on: 27 May 2011, 18:28 »
im currently working on a mk5 GTI full longlife service, brand new wheels and tyres(wheels are buckled and cracked) new brakes all round, full scans, data logging, removal of warning lights on dash, new MAF, new window switches and door handle, new CV boots and then its in for the correction detail exterior and inside detail including engine bay and even this will not even complete the car as it has lots of problems with it. i know it sounds like im a mechanic but im not lol its actually in for a detail but the owner wants other things which we provide aswel such as the servicing etc

this car is going to take 2 weeks to complete and even then it wont be complete as there are lots of things that need doing but this will be done over the next coming months.

well i thought id share with you pics of the interior so you can see what im up against, this is just a teaser and full write up shall be coming soon.

but enjoy these pics for now :)

took out the seats so i could get to the extent of the mess

How can people let their cars get into such a state! Especially decent ones! If I could afford a Mk5 GTI, I would treat it appropriately and give it at least the occasional clean inside and out!

i really do feel sorry for the car but thats what im here for now, i intend to the best i can, im good but not a miracle worker and there are lots of dents and war wounds on the car which affect the overall exterior but it will be certainly a thousand times better than it is now

keep your eyes peeled for the write up lads

Lighter fluid and matches would ensure a quick turnaround  :laugh: :laugh:

New wheels on the way along with some other goodies.  Hopefully the engine will be back up to strength this week as its currently missing about 30 horses  :shocked: :shocked:
