All cars need work, it was made in 1994. Unfortunately i had to do the headgasket as it looks like some young trainee had done it before, and cocked it right up. As for the suspension , i changed it as the mk3 standard suspension isn't great. The clutch was a bit stiff, it got my nerves after a while , so i changed. Its all too easy when you do it yourself, if i had to pay someone else i probably wouldn't bother!
