Bought the car in august for a run about in the winter while my gt turbo was off the road. Iv always liked the gsi's and you rarely see clean examples these days. Also bought it with intentions of eventually Let'ing it.
It was in reasonable condition when I bought it but I wanted it to be pristine.
Here's a few pics before I starter throwing money at it
On my mates pick up going for it's restoration
The paint work was really flat, bonnet was rusty with a few bubbles here and there round the window seals and on the boot. Had a large crack on the windscreen.
It's since then had a new bonnet/boot. (de wiper) New oe Gsi windscreen. All new window seals. New arch/skirt clips. New number plates, grill badge. New Gsi16v badges. Original indicators. New wing mirrors. Petrol cap seal. And a full shoot with a fair few coats of paint. Also bought some alessio's, got them powdercoated at romax and fitted 4 new 195 45 16 Yokohama s drives
Still got loads on the to do list. Get some coilovers and a 300mil omp wheel next
