First of all I got rid of the wheels and put the gti wheels on.
lights, mirrors and coilovers are next on the list to change.
Then I will attack the rust and paint.
need 6 branch manifold and decat
got a straight through pipe, but want to hide the backbox.
inside need some work and tiding.
then the engine work will begin
so many things I have forgotten but I will post everything I change and add.
