First car, First Golf, First project!

I know what Wii is topher! Just dont interest me in the slightest!

So Peaches - no b/f, brothers, dad to help with work on your car then?
The Project could get expensive then!

£50 an hour is probably normal. try and find a cheaper garage.

 my dad and my mate chris basically, he lives in chippenham nr bristol so hes just packing his stuff atm and going do we need a jack?! lol . my dads a bit busy so he will generally come and stand watching us while he has a fag . and sort of poke at some stuff .

its the cheapest we could find near cuz we had to tow it aswell 

Indeed , well i've had a look around and its been molested by people who dnt know what their doing really...... the wiring is a bit sh!t on everything so i have to find some shorts...

passenger window jammed , hopefully just from no use
1st gear has to be punched in hopefully just linkages etc
rust on the rear passenger door at the bottom because
the seals on the windows are worn so waters leaked and sat

paintwork needs doing stone chips etc
seat trim needs replacing on driver
right light has sunk in
think theres a bald tyre....havent had a proper check yet
it has siat alloys on it  ...........
a bit of a shameful panasonic stereo but no worries there cuz the wirings not working for it lol
sunroof doesnt open ..... so some investigation there!

thats off the top of my head so yeh i am hoping it doesnt get to expensive and its simple to fix

its not even insured or taxed yet

I know Chippenham well, near to me in Swindon.

Thats an impressive list! At least you know the way forward.

yeh cool , swindon's boyo land lol good place to race, "just follow the neons and ripspeed stickers". chris has just had completed an interview at Honda's facotry there, so i think hes got that which is good stuff they pay decently. then he can get his corrado vr6   

i should be getting pictures of my lovely shed up soon hehe sort of before and after pics i think i'll go for and any inbetweens... like "this is when we realised the gearbox needs replacing" me sort of approaching the car wielding a spanner in rage   

i was lookin at events before , which get the best turnout ? i usually just go to he car shows local to me um and Santapod last year which was uh interesting . especially the lapdancing tent , was guna go for it until i saw an 8ft ginger stripper with a fag and a pint of beer on her break  goin nurberg next year

boyo land!  They dont bother racing me so its fine!

Yea Honda is a good place to work, after a while he'l get a virtually free Civic! (or CRV)

And you mentioned photos before I had to ask! Yea please do!

I know the Santa Pod one ur on about - a mate of mine went this year and spent all his time in the lapdancing tent!
Us lot usually go there for Bug Jam in July.
The other main favourite is E38 at beginning of Sept.
There are others either camping ones or one dayers. Take a look in the Shows and Events section.
