Speed whore, it aint that quick, its fast but i wouldnt class it as megga fast.

My Series one, which i bought at 17, did a 3.5 year restoration on it

the 49
I originally bought the shell, with the intent of putting it on a 70's chassis and having the subaru impretza turbo engine out back, or space frame it with a mid mounted V8. but i managed to track down the ORIGINAL chassis to the car in scotland, the 2 halves had been seperated for 27 years
So anyway it was only fair to the car to do it stock

Umm bare metal sandblast


Fully restored chassis, with CABLE brakes, full crash gear box

this was truly the hardest project ive ever done, literally having to find every nut and bolt for the car, is all i started with was the bare body and chassis pan! ANd it fcuking hard tracking down parts made 1949, they are RARE and not cheap. heres about 1/3 of the parts i collected, and if i tell you in this pic there is the best part of £2500-3000 in parts there! to give u an idea the interior light cost me just under £300 in unrestored condition!!!


the week i was about to spray it, someone offered my the best part of £10k for it (its worth £25k restored!) so i let it go like this



The mk1

I want money

the mk4 GT tdi (well i pay for it the misses drives it )



Couple of shots on one of my marathon car washing and waxing sunday afternoons



my hairy mate, hes a outright vaxhaull man, but i know he want the cossie




bought the misses a mk5 GT Sport a few months back, pushing around 170bhp. which trust me for her is more than enough power i love it, still gives 50 mpg!
got a lot of stick from the mk5 boys on this forum, cos i wanted to put the gti bumper on as the gt sport is just plain ugly. Anyway i upset a few people, you know the purists, trying to say im just pretending ive got a gti. well no, ive got the diesel version, but i just want it to look good rather than the back end of a bus!! hehe, anyway, i dont post in the mk5 bit anymore, Gti or not its not really a big deal, just a car.

One of the few mk5 owners that speaks sense!

That's a nice collection you have, but if you don't mind me saying there is a lot of moolah there and you don't seem very old. How!?

Ahem!

Nice skills Lee. Strapping a turbo on that VR6 should be no problem then eh?
