crystal lights all round, have some 50mm lowering springs and shocks to
fit and then hopefully some deep dish alloys (Y) oh and getting
her detailed and the paint work is really grimey after being stood for

| yeah the paint work is shockin haha. its done 126k so must have been used a fair bit before it got sorn.
Needs a few things doing to the interior, like head lining, drivers seat and front door crads, have a few old pics below ...
this is the exhaust thats going on
lovely mouldy door cards
headligning before i removed it all
Drivers seat (all the other seats are spotless)
new rear lights but not sure i like them

| Now the driver has gone im going to concentrate on getting the mk2 gti
on the road, will be buying all new brakes, dizzy, leads, air filter,
sparks etc and see how it goes
Down an out sticker is a must
can see the grime on the bonnet ... dont really want to T cut it tho as
it will scratch the hell outta it so not sure what to do
polished the front wing, rear quatre and boot as they didnt have 'grime' on them. ... came out well i think

did a few small jobs today like re-aligning the front bumper, has been
annoying me for ages, also did a few coats of kiwi boot polish ...
