All
We have decided to do a project car. We have picked a Golf GTi as the project. The GTi was bought for £300 and is a CAT C write off.
The damage to the car was only paint work, it looks like some one has tried to pour paint striper on the roof, bonnet and down the doors.
The car itself is mechanically sound and just needs a good clean. So its only the body work we are going to modifiy for the first stage.
Myself, and three others are the ones that will be putting the money behind the project, we will be putting £50 per month for mods etc.
We have decided to keep the car to a budget, and the budget is £2000 to spend on modifications etc...

First update
Friday 21st - Saturday 22nd
Bought car on the friday and did the following work over friday and saturday.
Removed front bumper, bonnet, grill, lights
Removed interior (seats, dash plastics, door cards)
Removed wing mirrors, side repeaters, both front wings
Removed rear wiper, rear lights, spoiler
Removed GTI body kit (plastic arch's, sideskirts, bump stripes)
When we removed the body kit we found that the passenger side rear arch was rotten, and it needs to be replaced.
After we stripped the car, we seen an ad on a local forum advertising another MK3 Gti, only this one was a 5 door, but it had the following mods already done to it.
2 sets of shocks and springs (bilstien + Gmax i think)
17" 7 Spoke Alloys in black
So we enquired about the car, and we bought it for £200, and we are using it as a doner car.
