Information / Adjustments :
Bought as my first car and then passed on to my dad. Due to a problem with fuel pump she was taken off the road in Feb 2005 and hasn't been started since. In the 5yrs of sitting on my dads garden she has aquired some rust :( which I am now in the process of sorting out. The car is my project and a labour of love to get her running again. The first pics show the start of the restoration and what I eventually want the car to look like.

So update 12.04.12 - After 7 years and 2 days on the 2.3.12 I started the car. Since then the restoration has continued with bodywork being worked on, new door fitted and drivers side wing ready to go on. The car requires some welding on the offside sill and under the battery tray and under the windowscreen. The car has been moved around the driveway and the gearbox and clutch all still work (miracle!). All electrics work also, rear spoiler and sunroof work although sunroof took some persuading it both tilts and slides :)

Really is testament to the build quality of the cars that after sitting through 7 years of weather conditions the car only requires a minimal of welding and once finished will be close to ready to getting on the road. Before I do new brake and clutch fluid will be used and new pads and discs being sourced to go with the new handbrake cables. Once the car is back on the road I will go ahead and make a few subtle outside changes, the rubstrips have been removed and some smoothing will take place. I don't want the car to be changed totally from standard however some coilovers and fresh alloys will be going on as I am a fan of the euro look. Hoping to get to GTI international this year!!





Wishlist :
Tyre stretched split rims and some coilovers! 2ltr block and 200bhp eventually ;)
